  1. Live with it! Fish it out and put it in a napkin if you can. Waiter, there's a staaarrmaaann waiting in my soup!
  2. I took inspiration from the loading hint "adding K to every word". Mods used: SpaceY lifters, but mostly stock parts. KSP, Kape Kerbal, Launch Complex 1A. A Kares V rocket stands poised to launch. It carries the crewless Munar lander and Kerbin Departure Stage. <Reporter is then temporalily stunned and deafened by the sound of the launch> The Kares I Crew launch vehicle stands ready to launch hours after the Kares V. Once in orbit, the Orion CSM will rendezvous and dock with the KDS and Munar lander. Then it's to the Mun. Our crew today will be Commander/Lander Pilot Lemford Kerman, CSM pilot Elzon Kerman, and Scientist Kerson Kerman. Liftoff! Pitch and Roll complete. Korion is in LKO. Two more orbits till the evening rendezvous with the Kares V. Time to Dock! I got the rendezvous good at about 100m, but I can't usually do any better that that. I'm not the best at docking, so I took another orbit before a shaky TMI burn. Now Korion and the Munar lander coast towards the Mun. My Orion has about 1.2 k/s of Delta-V so it can do both the capture burn and the escape burn. My final orbit is somewhere around 15 km high. An awe-inspiring image of an awed Kerson Kerman looking at an awe-inspiring Kerbin from the mun before landing. Lemford Kerman becomes the first Kerbal to walk on the mun in over a week! The dust does indeed seem to be getting everywhere. Stack-A-Kerbal! A more respectable flag pic. Time to leave. Look out the window and you see gray rock, dust, and craters, Lemford Freaks Out. Slight Derpiness. Korion comes in to dock at about 200m. The ships were pretty well lined up to dock, so the manuevers were easy. Elzon does the maths. Korion flies over the landing site before escape burn. All engines go for Kerbin Return Burn. You gotta go, you gotta go. After multiple visits to the lavatory, the Kerbals take a moment to enjoy the view of the mun as they head for home. "ooh, that one down there was a nasty impact!" Only a few minutes till a safe splashdown or a fiery death! What? Now you're all happy? That gray smudge above the capsule is the remains if the service module. Chutes away! Mains deployed! Elzon still seems to need some visual reassurance that yes, the chutes are actually deployed. Everyone is content again upon another happy landing. No wet spacesuits were reported!
  3. That's nice! Wish I had someone to teach me KSP when I started. Would have saved the lives of a bunch of innocent Kerbonauts R.I.P all aforementioned kerbals
  4. Banned for banning a person who banned a person who banned a person who banned a person who...(etc.) banned me!
  5. That is INCORRECT!! insert 25 cents to try again. @Snark?
  6. Okay, more pics of the jolly green giant Jool as my probe moves to orbit Laythe. 1000 m/s burn with the weak but efficient "ant" engine, that lasts about 4m 30s The burn from behind, with the sun a little bigger than Laythe in the background. The jolly green giant during the trans-Laythe cruise Moving into it's new home Two moons, plus jool and laythe, make up this kinda grainy image of the first orbit around Laythe. I ran out of fuel a bit earlier than I was hoping, so I got on to a polar orbit that was pretty elliptical. However, I got this nice pic of a sunset on Laythe, with the probe in the foreground. Next up I am taking a specialized Orion capsule to catch and asteroid and do some science.
  7. You will be interested to hear that I am actually not @max_creative @Dman979? Haven't seen you here the last few days
  8. Yeah, I agree with the part about the nuke. Normally I did use an LV-30 engine for my upper stage, but I wasn't convinced that could make it to Jool. I didn't use my Block 2 design because I thought the actual mission called for a Block 1 cargo Config to be used. And to post up pics, I prefer to use imgur, no account is needed. You just upload the picture, right click on it, copy image address, and then just paste that into the "insert other media tab in your post.
  9. Granted, But you *may* have to move to Pluto. Transport costs not provided. Food not provided. Functional spacecraft *may be provided. Warranty void if spacecraft exposed to space. Chances of spontaneous combustion are a bit below the 50/50 mark. Blah Blah Blah Blah... I wish that we would JUST GO TO MARS ALREADY!!
  10. My SLS program. It is based on the real program that will (hopefully) take place five to ten years from now. I have already done my first crewed mission around the Mun and have test-launched the Block 2. Now, I am doing 3-mission program to emulate some of the proposed missions for the SLS. Mission 1: Jool Orbiter Mods Used: SpaceY lifters Tundra Exploration This is the Europa Multiple Flyby mission planned for 2021-2025. I parked it into Jool orbit and will position it in Laythe orbit in a later post. But here it is, short and sweet: On the Pad. Again, It was a tough ascent and I lost a bit of efficiency by not pitching enough (pitching too much led to the dreaded Kaboom) but I had enough fuel for the nuclear upper stage to complete the orbit. Escaping Kerbin after Trans-Jool-Injection burn. I didn't have enough fuel in the probe for Jool orbital insertion and exploring the system, so I traveled with the upper stage to Jool. Burn for Jool Orbital Insertion. My final Pe was about 4000 km above the surface, with a slight inclination. I will probably later correct with the probe's own fuel and then go to Laythe. Three moons of Jool in one pic. (Laythe, Tylo. Vall) Coming around Jool... A kinda Grainy Image of a Sunset from Jool Orbit. Next up, I will either take this probe to Laythe, or do a different mission to an asteroid.
  11. I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid that's the wrong answer. Hmmm..., @Aperture Science?
  12. Enceladus BTW so many people are giving kerbal planets I might as well allow it.
  13. Banned for posting a reply that is 14 words long.
  14. You know, the scene where Neo throws Agent Smith through the bench and he mutters into his walkie-talkie thing "more" But I agree, bad reference
  15. ...On a Kuiper belt object the building is a cabin...
