it is monday where i am east half of north america give us 1.0

My final large mission before 1.0 comes out on April 27th is… SACRIFICE TO JUPITER A prelude to a potential Jool-5 mission in 1.0 I have lots of photos and a video of the descent. But I cannot add them here without them being somewhere else on the internet, so I uploaded them and the video to my YouTube channel. I make KSP videos and other gaming videos. The video is here: .The photographs' descriptions are here, probably not in order: Sitting on the launchpad, a symbol of remembrance of the old aero. Sorry for night launch. Burning for Kerbol orbit. A view of Kerbin as we leave it. Transfer burn to Jool. Our first look at the Jool system. One moon has a visible atmosphere. Our first flyby of Tylo, used to collect science and lower our orbit. We have our first clear look at the light side of the moon with an atmosphere. it appears to be completely ocean. Our second, much closer Tylo flyby, bringing our orbit to barely above Jool's atmosphere and collecting higher-quality data about the large moon. A view of the descent probe and its heat shield. Our final Tylo encounter, lowering our periapsis inside the planet. A view of a smaller moon of Jool, one I might not have seen before in this save file. The probe did not get close enough to perform experiments other than a spectrometer measurement, which shows the small moon to be covered in ice. As we descend, the ocean moon is spotted again. The achievements of the mission after its completion. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The probe conducted three close flybys of Tylo, the only moon of Jool known before the mission began. A small rock was spotted moderately distant from Jool; it was on a different plane than Tylo and the two new moons discovered, and it is not known if is orbiting Jool or simply flying past it. It is likely smaller than Minmus. The probe descended into Jool's atmosphere seven years after being launched, and two after entering its SOI. It recorded pressures upwards of 15.3 bars and recorded temperatures above 1000 degrees. It was crushed by the immense pressure 250 meters below the cloud bank. Slight changes in Tylo's orbit have shown that there is at least one small object orbiting Jool close enough to measurably perturb Tylo's orbit. It is probably the effects of the small rock on the inclined trajectory, although this means there is either more than one of it or it is very dense. Extensive analysis of the photographs of the ocean moon show barren islands dotted around its surface. The liquid on the ocean moon is believed to be water, however the probe's spectrometer could not reach through the thin clouds over the moon as they were opaque on its wavelengths. Kerbals were surprised and intrigued by the probe's discoveries. They say if the world does not end the next day, they will explore this system more.

is there an irl version of the kraken drive? could it be built?

can i build 5 landers and a mothership and put a kerbal in each, and bring each back to the mothership orbiting jool? does that count if the same guy doesn't go to multiple moons? also is the chair allowed? do i need to film my attempt? EDIT: i have done a prelude in which i send a probe to jool. i have taken pictures and a video and they can be seen here ( ) and i have posted about it here under the name "My final large mission before 1.0".

The Mun. It's hard not to go to the Mun. The high gravity always takes my Minmus ships and sends them somewhere else.

seeing as we add k to everything, what if they meant 10k days? i'd be old by then that's like thirty years

lol no time to do homework now

thx why not antarctica irl rockets have been launched from mcmurdo and other places on the mainland, and i think kerguelen

is there a rss launchpad on every continent

i can't install mods that is why

Why are flags considered "flights"? I don't think the flags can tell the difference. To quote another user (idk who), because KSP.

skydoesksp lololol

in the new aero will eve-surface-to-orbit still be possible? also it needs clouds and rain and volcanoes and in general made more venus-like without melting our valuable eve ascent lander from acid or heat or crushing it from pressure or leaking in carbon dioxide and killing all life inside or leaking out oxygen and killing all life outside or evaporating it or getting purple dust in it or any dust really or being flooded by eve water (water?) etc. thx

planet characteristics: larger than earth, maybe 1-4 earth mass oceans at both poles and ponds at tropics and temperate zones atmospheric pressure 1-10 atm, co2 90%, nitrogen 9%, and traces of hydrocarbons and water vapor temperature 35 celsius, extremes -70 celsius and 107 celsius large moon to stabilize axis extensive volcanism moon characteristics: lunar mass or smaller, europa-like surface no retained atmospheric pressure global water ocean underground the moon had life first, after an asteroid impact the planet was seeded

Chips.

duna stuff landed a bunch of stuff consecutively in one descent lander 1 touches down rover 1 touches down cannot dock with lander 1, rover 1 lacks docking port rover 1 attempts to get lander 1 out of the way of everything else by ramming it lander 2 touches down on rover 1 10 minutes later "I finally got the lander off my back! Now to ram it 5 kilometres, go back, get the other one, and ram it another 5 kilometres. Wait, why didn't I just keep the thing on the rover's back?" *ragequit* EDIT: i landed a base in "the same location" just now. 17.5 km away on a steep slope, with a habitat without power sources and tons of pointless parts that cannot be used without electricity. i barely had enough to roll the hab onto a much better 10 degree slope. it started on a 20 degree slope.

Myself. Look it up. Other than that, Danny2462 and Nassault.

missions to do in KSP anyone? stock only plz this can be a "what to do in KSP" thread thx

i put a space station into orbit in one piece. or, i put a space station into orbit in one piece, then dock a tug to it and send it to the mun or something.

hello all a couple of days ago i sent a thing to eve. when the parachutes opened at 5k meters up, my probe core was slingshotted out of eves soi at 0.86 the speed of light. afterwards i reloaded the quicksave and it landed properly. i was on 4x phys warp when the glitch happened. is there a way to make this glitch happen reliably and can i build starships with it?

All or nothing.

so i sent an ocean lander to eve, i did it in about 45 minutes real-time. while on a collision course with the planet, at about 400km up, i noticed there wasn't ice caps at the poles. i know this because the thing touched down near the south pole. the wiki said the minimum temperature on eve is -40.19, i think this is in celsius because i tried it on kerbin's poles. therefore there should be ice somewhere on eve assuming the oceans are water. i think they're water because the only other alternative is that they're rocket fuel. they can't be, as i am explaining. irl, at sunrise/sunset the sky is purple because there's more air for the light to pass through horizontally. on eve the pressure is higher and so this effect is also in daytime. 5 atm=2.24 times the air for light to pass through (from google) so the purple sunset effect can be seen at daylight there, like the more air at sunset irl on earth. so the atmosphere must be kerbinlike. if it is, there is at least 1 atm of oxygen mixed in to the air, which means there would have been a fire sometime in the planet's past. a fire with rocket-fuel oceans would mean the planet should have had exploded already. but it didn't so it's not rocket fuel. water's the next most obvious thing, so it's likely that. if it is water, there should be polar caps, because it is apparently below zero at the poles, but there aren't. can anyone explain this to me?

what about new planets we need new planets and an end goal for the game

if we could float the rocket on balloons to the ~1atm level or higher it could ascend like a normal ssto

Is reentry damage to be toggleable? Also, Squad, please make a 3.75m docking port and MOAR PLERNERTS.
