Pretty funny am I right? Also, here's the original article: The Space Launch System (SLS) is an American Space Shuttle-derived heavy expendable launch vehicle being designed by NASA. It follows the cancellation of the Constellation program, and is to replace the retired Space Shuttle. The NASA Authorization Act of 2010 envisions the transformation of the Constellation program's Ares I and Ares V vehicle designs into a single launch vehicle usable for both crew and cargo, similar to the Ares IV. SLS will be the world's most powerful rocket with 20% more thrust than Saturn V and a comparable payload capacity.[9][10][11] The SLS launch vehicle is to be upgraded over time with more powerful versions. Its initial Block 1 version is to lift a payload of 70 metric tons to low Earth orbit (LEO), which will be increased with the debut of Block 1B and the Exploration Upper Stage.[12]Block 2 will replace the initial Shuttle-derived boosters with advanced boosters and is planned to have a LEO capability of more than 130 metric tons to meet the congressional requirement.[13] These upgrades will allow the SLS to lift astronauts and hardware to various beyond-LEO destinations: on a circumlunar trajectory as part of Exploration Mission 1 with Block 1, to a near-Earth asteroid in Exploration Mission 2 with Block 1B, and to Mars with Block 2. The SLS will launch the Orion Crew and Service Module and may support trips to the International Space Station if necessary. SLS will use the ground operations and launch facilities at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida. During the joint Senate-NASA presentation in September 2011, it was stated that the SLS program has a projected development cost of $18 billion through 2017, with $10 billion for the SLS rocket, $6 billion for the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and $2 billion for upgrades to the launch pad and other facilities at Kennedy Space Center.[14][15]

I'd probably say something along the lines of: "Today marks a significant point in the history of mankind. I have ventured out into a land where no other has set foot before. We as humans should be proud of such an amazing feat we have accomplished together and let this day be a start, to our future in space." ...Though I would say that if I was a successful astronaut brave enough to actually go to Mars! Realistically, I'd be saying stuff like this: "What?! I didn't sign up for this! You said there were cookies... (Sad face) Also my I ask, do I get good Wi-Fi connectivity up here?"

Thanks for pointing that out Wanderfound

Thanks for your very detailed response! It did help a lot

668 (Later): K 668 S is launched to dock into the KSS to bring more scientists on board. However it turns out no one remembered to attach a docking port to the K 668 S, causing 6 Kerbals to be stranded inside. 669: K 669 R is launched to rescue K 668 S. However they ALSO forgot to attach docking ports meaning that the entire rescue team of 4 are also stranded in space. 670: The engineer in charge of docking ports is fired. 671: The KSC decides to develop a grabbing arm of some sort to bring back the stranded Kerbals without the hassle of forgetting to attach docking ports.

Well I finally started my career mode with some success (thanks to some forumer's help). I ended up successfully getting a rocket into orbit using basic parts and haven't killed of any Kerbals...yet.

I've started to play KSP a lot lately, mucking around in Sandbox mode making missiles and wacky spacecraft, but I've never really gotten on to playing Career mode. I'm not so sure about how to gain science efficiently or making sound rockets with very basic parts since I'm used to playing in sandbox. Could any of you experienced players share some tips, tricks and knowledge to help out? Thanks. Please note: I'm still kinda new at KSP, so learning the fundamentals would be great for me.

Hi, I've been on KSP since .90 was released but I haven't really got to know how things actually worked until 1.0. I'm pretty confident in making space planes, though I'm kinda still a newb at SSTO's. So what are the basics and fundamentals of making one and how would I make it function well and hover? If the are already answers to this type of question, it would really help if any of you have links to videos or threads that can help. Thanks!

Ok, thanks to everyone for help out!

Hi, I Chano! I've been playing KSP since .90 (Beta) but I've only learnt how to actually play well when 1.0 was released. So here some questions I would like answered: 1. I'm starting to get better at making and flying Space planes into LEO (I've watched many YouTube videos and looked on the wiki), but I can't get the hang of making an SSTO. Are there threads that can teach me the basics of it? 2. I've pretty much know how to build and fly stable rockets, but how do I get my spacecraft to dock? I know I need docking ports and I've tried the scenario, but I just can't seem to understand the fundamentals of it. 3. Is it worth using the ion-drive? It's very slow and conventional rockets would easily have better thrust than it. although it does have very good ISP (Specific Impulse) and I was thinking about using then to transport probes across the Kerbin System. 4. Is it possible to build an Orbital kinetic strike vessel like one of these is vanilla KSP? I was thinking it would be really fun but I don't know how long this would take. 5. What are some good mods to use? I'm thinking of using mods that change the performance of the game or add new features but not the ones that add parts. Anyways, that's it from me and thanks in advance!
