N_Danger

After my JNSQ save started acting weird, I decided to start a x2.5 scale GPP game. The first orbit around Gael launches. Jeb does some EVA science. The fiery re-entry is had And a good chute is had.

I use an auto pilot, Gravity Turn, for launches. I have no business piloting anything flying through the air with my reflexes. I have found engine gimble works well enough while using it. I did not think of shutting down the opposite engine. Too busy panicking I guess.

A routine launch to the station. Followed by a not routine engine failure with 1 of 4 radial engines on approach to the station. Having to scrub off 100 m/s while not going over 1/4 throttle in order to maintain control was a challenge. But just managed to not overshot. And got it docked. The first crew is sent up. And docks

A module was sent to the station. Then a probe to Jool. And coasting to a course correction 320 days away.

The plan was to launch a Life Support Module. It..... did not start off in a promising manner. And it did not end well. The second launch went better. And the first of many modules for the new station is ready for business.

The Kerbals went to Minmus again with a different crew They landed near the North pole of Minmus. And it turns out in a shadow so things were cut short due to running out of electricity. Back to the SM for the trip home to the big blue marble. And who doesn't like explosions? I mean if they are far enough away of course.

Deorbited an unmanned station. And launched a kerbaled replacement. then launched a mission to Minmus with new vehicles. After the Minmus burn the SM separates, then flips and docks with the lander. Bob is the first scientist on Minmus. He puts his Geology degree to work by finding a rock. And a routine reentry and landing was had by all

Scott Manley take is that it lost control authority well before it reached the altitude for stage separation and stage separation was not attempted. Many things went wrong on this one but dang what a glorious failure.

A set of space craft were sent to Eve. The APL arrives. Chute out and science under way Landed Arrival of the mapper. Disposed of the decel stage.

Tested the new 3 kerbal capsule. In orbit. Two kerbals get their first star. Re-entry And a happy landing.

I sent a a scanning satellite to Duna. Second stage sep followed by fairing sep We have a flyby of Ike. And doing the scanning. Also testing was conducted.

If it works, it works.

A scanning satellite to Minmus lifts off. Solids jettison Fairing separation. Arrival at Minmus And on station

I loaded up ScanSat and then launched some satellites. First to polar orbit around Kerbin And then to the Mun.

I never knew I wanted this until now.

Val and Jeb head out to Minmus. They meet up with the lander and Jeb heads to the surface in it. Jeb poses for the camera A quick trip to the Sci-Stop to pick up science and fuel. (Franchises are available ) And an uneventful trip was had back to Kerbin.

That is a Mod, JNSQ . A nice challenge after playing the stock version a while.

Time to send a lander to Minmus with a newly upgraded booster. Upgraded to a Skiff on the second stage. Now to inform the blue marble we are in orbit and ready for crew.

A Material science lab and Mystery Goo containers combined with a fuel depot is sent off to Minmus. Finishing up the trans-Minmus burn. And now it waits in orbit for Kerbals to come get the science and fuel.

A Mun mission was launched. Jeb does the PR bit. Shepbart grabs some science from a an un-kerbaled science lab orbiting the Mun. And a good omen during re-entry back at Kerbin.

KSC started the next Mun mission off with a launch of the upgraded Mun lander. Waiting on the Kerbals

I did not go into space today

My first try at a Mun landing under Kerbalism. Started out by pre-positioning a lander at the Mun. The lander settles in to orbit to wait for the crewed part of the mission. Then Jeb and Val head out. Val pauses doing science for a selfie. And happy landings were had back at Kerbin

KSP 1 for a while. The GTX 960 with a whooping 2 GB VRAM is getting long in the tooth with no replacement in sight.

I'm excited about going interstellar with new engines and colony building tech
