  1. Tosh, you should release a Titan II mod to go with this. I currently use Nova Punch, but I\'d like a dedicated one.
  2. John Young and Michael Collins decided on changing their orbit different from the flight plan in an attempt to better catch the Agena. They broke the altitude record with that, too. Gemini was pilotable. That was one of the big things about it. Seriously. It was very similar to the Apollo crafts. The only difference I can think of would be the size. Read Carrying the Fire. It\'s a good book by Michael Collins. A lot of it is about Gemini 10.
  3. Anyone wondering about how to equip this thing with thrusters and such, I\'ll make a series of photos right now showing how I put my Gemini together in KSP. And if you want, I can show how to build the Titan II GLV. --EDIT-- Here\'s a photographic tutorial on how to build the Gemini in KSP. Complete with thrusters to change orbits, fuel with which to do so, and some cameras to make it look like we\'re in the capsule. If you have any questions about editing the .cfgs to perform the things we\'ve done, don\'t hesitate to ask! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151005164478830.451805.571363829&type=1&l=005f69aef8
  4. That\'s not true AT ALL. I think you should look more into Gemini. You\'re thinking of Mercury. Gemini was truly a pilotable craft. The crew could perform complex rendezvous maneuvers, change orbits, perform EVA and many scientific experiments. In fact, Gemini was just about as advanced as Apollo in many regards. Most people just don\'t know that because most people don\'t research Gemini.
  5. I put a rover on top of a lander. Then when I land, I decouple and use the rover\'s onboard RCS to fly up and off to the side of the descent stage. Then descend and land on the wheels. It\'s like a two landing mission.
  6. The crafts were part of GoDamnit\'s old 'Kerpollo' pack. After this album was made, I went ahead and actually redid the Command and Service Module so it would look a little more realistic. Here\'s a picture of it attached to the LM:
  7. You know the SRB\'s have an internal fuel. I want to know if it\'s possible for to mod the engine so it handles as if it is attached to a fuel tank...
  8. You know how Solid Rocket Boosters use Internal fuel in this game? Can you give internal fuel to a liquid engine so you don\'t need a tank above it by editing the config? If so, how?
  9. I downloaded everything on the list except the new config files, yet I still can\'t use those solar panels and the MuMechLib link is broken... Why?
  10. When I got this, I made a few changes. I want to suggest something, Tosh. Add thrusters to this. The real Gemini used thrusters to change its orbit, not the retro fire engines. And also, you guys will probably want NovaPunch to make the Titan II GLV by the way... You\'ll have to also modify your NovaPunch textures to match the paint scheme of the Titan II.
  11. I clicked the 'MuMechLib' link and it did not work....
  12. So you can probably tell by how many different maneuvers and stuff I did, that this photo sequence took place over SEVERAL missions. I had to fly to the Mun like four times, reach escape velocity twice, land twice, splash down once, get on a return trajectory once, do three Transposition and Docking sequences, and fake a Lunar Docking once. The end result, though, is a pretty believable looking Lunar Orbit Rendezvous Mission with the Kerpollo pack. Here\'s the album. Every photo has a description. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151002863543830.451570.571363829&type=1&l=3ccfcf9d56
  13. It gets rid of the Kerbals in the corner. Therefore, \'tis unmanned.
  14. Yeah. I forgot to comment here. I remembered the name of the term. It\'s called a 'One-Tangent Burn.'
  15. If you want, I\'ll make you a capable Mun and Minmus craft right now. Here. Karma-II Rocket. Plenty of power and fuel to get you to any celestial body and back https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76061308/Karma%20II%20Rocket.zip
  16. No, it\'s not a mod. For some reason, every single time I try to land near another ship, either my own ship or the other one flies up into the air and comes back down or simply spontaneously explodes.
  17. No. It\'s impossible. This discussion came up about slingshots once on Yahoo! Answers. I can\'t find it now. But someone left an awesome answer about the force being so great that it would turn steel to butter.
  18. LOL. But then I can\'t see anything else. I want to be able to see Kerbol, Kerbin, Minmus and Mun, but then just have space be black.
  19. I don\'t like them. Black space is more appealing to me.
  20. I had a dream the game could actually properly support spaceplanes. LOL! =P
  21. Why? There\'s nothing to see out there. Just blank space.
  22. Of course Solar Escape is possible... I\'ve done it several times.
