thanks Steve!

EDIT :: Found fix my heat shield was broken. http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/3asi15/uncontrollable_craft_kraken_fix/ Hi, When the game update to 1.0.3 one of my rockets broke and is now uncontrollable. the rocket is uncontrollable, the staging has disappear, I can not activate the part or EVA the crew. (taken screen shots of the debug bug window alt + F2) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467494400 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467494348 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467494270 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467494226 When I map in and out the entire rocket except the main pod disappears. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197989002979/screenshots/?appid=220200 I have tried launching another rocket at the same type but the there was no problem, there where error in the debug window but less. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467494543 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467494444 Ideally I would like to fix the rocket, but If I could just recover the crew by altering the save file then that will do and just launch another rocket. I have the attached save here https://www.dropbox.com/s/d0zvquviwzb049k/persistent.sfs?dl=0

Well good luck with 13. Just want to know how to build a more efficient rocket as I want to complete a entire SRB only mission to the moon with vector landing (which is possible just very insane) and get back but to do so I need to get at least 5 booster to make it to the moon at the moment I cant get even one unspent booster in to moons orbit.

I don\'t know how your rockets work I\'ve tried building them but I cant get spent stages to blow. could you please post a video or a craft file?

Mother of God I can work out how the rocket works! could you post the craft file and guide to flying it?

In the lastest effieny(spell?) moon challenge the winner was with 2.5 fuel tanks using the smallest engine. A really challenge would be to see how much mass you could get up to orbit on those engines.

i\'ve built single stages to the moon I just cant get them back!

Close-ish I have no idea how get closer the rocket booster require to get that burnt out capsule there was made enough I had to do the translunar burn just in atmo because its the only way I could get the speed need to get to the moon....

Thanks I am trying that out of gravity code and I am getting the error Error 1 Operator \'*\' cannot be applied to operands of type \'Vector3d\' about this line gravity = gvector.normalized * gmagnitude; gmagnitude is a 3d vector how do i get the scaler out of it?

how do you make a part apply a force in a certain direction? Also how do you find the current gravitational acceleration?

I was going to up the anti and park inside a discarded space jaintor I had made (i think it would have worked, but had not been able to get a orbit match to any other satalite). I got close 5.1km then using the Nav ball to oreitate to up and down, left right, back and forward and using the center of the ship I as a guide to know when to vector in each direction. I got the ship close so close the that distance information disappeared even when hovering the mouse. I waited for the ship to turn (the debris was in a sping) unforuntatly I ran out of RCS fuel and try to use the vector engines to finish. started going into the opening and then the debris just started exploding. I think it was the curse of the lander leg. the debris went wobbly and knocked of the ships fuel tanks.... good thing end flight bring the little guys back because they screwed at the moment...

Hey I found your information about Retrograde and Prograde really useful getting circle orbits to match was tricky I had to get the eccentricity to match but I did that by firing either at 180 degree marker or at the north marker near the point which the target orbit is crossed. I am still not sure which way to vector as the line comes close its hard to tell which point of the cross you are so I normally vector 1 way and then vector the other if the orbits diverge . All of that got me really close! 454meters at the closest! but how the hell you close the last 500meters?? I can just see the other ship I tried vector towards it and I can close but I have no tool telling me how close i am which direction to vector in and the nav ball is less than useless!!! I shot past the ship 3 times, I nearly came close (but way too fast) must have been under 200meter as the information had disappeared? is there away to lock the camera to the ship? Also I wish I film my attempt because I only remembered to take two screen shot while I was anywhere close to touching.
