Tad bit overengineered, but that's okay for your first mun rocket.

I had the crew of my space station return to Kerbin. Along with the space station by accident.

Now we just need one that works by itself. Good work!

Let's discuss lithobraking
The Optimist replied to The Optimist's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
Hmmmm... I wonder if we attached a long, slightly suggestive looking object to the bottom of the main reinforced module if it could slow down the impact effectively. I dropped a reinforced steel cube from orbit, and most of the vital components (RTG, probe core, battery) have survived a direct 300 m/s impact, though somewhat separated from each other. I actually jammed some mk2 wheels in the cube to see if they would help, but they appeared to have not popped, which means that they didn't absorb any of the impact force. -
In the famous words of IDK who, "The hard part isn't getting there. The hard part is letting go." We all get attached to something, but sometimes it's better to give it up than to stress about it. And you need to take a break, my good sir. Don't worry about it.

How would it do in a wrestling match against the mun arch? -
Anyone have good substitutes for actual landers? Parachutes and retro-rockets are for scrubs. Crashing a rocket at Mach 8 into a alien city is the true Kerbal way, and surviving it is even better arguably. It's basically a egg drop contest for probe cores. I cannot grammar right now, but I'll post some of my own when I get back home.

Crelk: A fish-like creature found in Kerbin's seas. They have been incorporated into many different cuisines, whether in space or not. Good when prepared, but also good just by itself. Unlike Earth fish, Crelk can be frozen, dried or even kept fresh for extended periods of time, though they do become a little hard after a while. ​PTR-1K An off-white paste in a small foil tube, which consisted 3 of the 9 meals aboard the Comet I space craft, the first one to orbit the planet. Contains 8 percent water by volume, 40 percent processed crelk fillets and 52 percent blend of dough, salt and vegetable puree. No longer in service due to their lower calorie/gram ratio compared to other foods, and the fact that they taste 'horrible' and 'interestingly grassy' as said by everyone who ever tasted it. Dried Astronaut Short-term Ration (Crelk & Clam Biscuit) A much more palatable ration designed for short to medium-duration missions, this product consists of a very small rock-hard grain cake, some dehydrated Crelk slices, a tin of pickled clams, and a bag of strange slurry added to the wheat cake. Preparation can occur in two ways: The first, for small craft such as Mun landers is simply to add boiling water to the slurry pack, put in everything else, and let it sit for a while in the bag. However, this makes it more of an oatmeal and less of a biscuit. The second preparation method is more complex, intended for craft with kitchenettes or at least a microwave: put the wheat cake into the slurry package, seal it, and then heat at 150 C for 4 minutes. Then, ,user should garnish the now larger biscuit with the seafood supplies in the package. -

I finally managed to get myself to work on this thing again, so here's the next chapter. Chapter 1 /Part 4 Jeb whistled as he drove up the road to the space center's converted barracks, which were now serving as a home away from home for a handful of interns, and him. Gus preferred to sleep in his RV, and Walt and Mort slept in their offices. The sun was just rising, and he felt great. The extra 6 hours of sleep had done him plenty of good, and he felt somewhat less tired than usual. Jeb made a left turn onto the cracked tarmac, and he cut the ignition. Stretching, he stepped out of the car, and stepped into the slightly brisk Middlelands sunrise carrying a box of stuff he found for Gus and the other engineers to tinker with. Gus was finishing up his breakfast of grain porridge, when Jeb walked into the cafeteria. After some hastily exchanged greetings, Jeb grabbed a baked bun and sat down. "Gus, I have something you might like here." Jeb opened his box. "This here is something one of my employees found yesterday. It looks like a rocket engine or a jet motor. You want a look?" Gus put down his cup of tea. "Great!" he coughed. "I'll take a look at it later." 20 minutes later, Jeb stood next to Gus in his shed. "It's bigger on the inside, isn't it?" he looked around the shed. Gus merely grinned, WIP, WILL BE FINISHED REALLY SOON

Debris warfare in orbit: how to?

Fly right up to it, EVA jeb and make him crash into the solar panels. -
Should I get rid of the Squad file before downloading? - - - Updated - - - I just installed it on a fresh save, and when I booted it up, the loading always got stuck on the Stock MK 1-2 pod for some reason. Help?

It shows up pretty well for me m8, I don't know what your computer does to them though. And please don't call me new XD - - - Updated - - - also thanks for the album tips

In a game about exploring the universe peacefully, and building wondrous ships, it only makes sense to make death machines capable of wiping out entire cities. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you... the K-1337 SRBM! Here's some images of it in testing, while loaded with dummy warheads. Of course, it's not a ballistic missile, but it sounds cooler, okay? http://imgur.com/a/ilyKs And here's a few images for those of you who are too lazy to click the link: This is the service variant of this vehicle, now with longer range and controllable missile. Image of service-type long range missile in flight I hope someone likes this.

'Spang!' Dehydrated Concentrated Lanternberry simulation juice fluid thing Lanternberries are a legendary fruit, rumored to be found at the center of the earth and capable of granting eternal life. None have been successfully recovered, and they have become a synonym for a investment scam. However, this delicious, mostly arsenic free powder is a accurate simulation of their taste (read: blind guess). This powdered beverage is popular with children and astronauts. This version comes in a thin foil pouch, and needs water to be added in. There is a new variant using a small vial of hydrazine to create the water inside of the bag, but this has been rejected by mission control, due to the lack of tastiness. And nothing else. -

S.A.N.D. The Standard Astronaut Nourishment Dessert is a package of various mysterious pastes and powders, stuck in a vacuum-sealed baggy. The flavor has been described as 'surprising' and 'oh my god'. Each ration packet contains one (1) bottle of Winter-Ice shaving gel/ice cream, two (2) portions of nutritious dust, and a tube of unknown green seaweed-based paste. Recommended to be consumed with at least 500 ML of water and some alcohol to help ignore the bad taste. Recommended way to consume is to swalow the entire package in one go, as the plastic tastes better than the contents.
