Ultimate Steve

Well I'm at school right now and there was a massive ammonia leak a few blocks away... And apparently the school thinks it's a better idea to keep us all in this non-airtight drafty old building rather than quickly shipping us home... It does really smell weird...

THE BLUE! I mean, going from the really old forum (lots of blue, some grey) to the medium forum (a little blue, scorching white) was hard enough, but in the new forum it's basically all bright white. Can we get a dark theme, please? As an option?

...And I'm playing Arvide Abernathy, the grandpa dude, who just happens to have a pretty long solo song... Great, this is absolutely fantastic! I can't sing! This will go VERY well!

*Begin Rant* I wanted to get done with two things today: Editing a KSP video, and completely making Chapter 39 of Project Intrepid. I chose to start with Chapter 39. For that I needed a 16 man Eve Ascent Vehicle. I've done this before, just smaller. Simple enough, right? *4 HOURS LATER* It's the end of the day, and I'm being outsmarted by a STUPID PURPLE PIECE OF COMPUTER CODE!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally got somewhere close to actually finishing it, but NOPE! The design is fundamentally flawed and I have to start all over. And I'm at a point where I'm pretty much not going to have many free days for the next 6 months. Hooray.

T-15 days. *Final Countdown intensifies*

Yeah, RP-0 takes quite a while to load! Although, mine certainly takes ten minutes at most... An hour must be torture! My first 0.90 RO installation took 45 minutes usually, though... and crashed after 30 minutes of gameplay... Hooray for 64 bit! Thank you for waiting patiently! Part 39 will come soon, I promise! I just have to design a 12 person Eve Ascent Vehicle... no biggie! Currently loading up my 1.2.1 install (the Project Intrepid install) for the first time since forever... Time to work on this! BTW I'm thinking of installing KIS/KAS into PI, just so you all know. Also I just realized that the last words of dialogue spoken in Voyage and PI are the same word: "Please." EDIT: Eve hates me. I've spent four hours working on an Eve Ascent Vehicle and I'm starting to hate myself.

Okay, can someone explain to me in short why the forums look so weird? Was there an upgrade I didn't know about? I like the old look better... I had just gotten used to it...

Interestingly enough, KSP was originally going to be the "3D world with 2D constraints" that you described. However, if I recall correctly, sometime between 0.5 and 0.7 HarvestR showed the game to his brother Moach. He suggested to make it full 3D (because the constraints for 2D mode were a pain to make). And that's how we got the 3D KSP! *Disclaimer: The above statement is strictly from memory and may be partially incorrect.

Since the second Electron has now arrived at the launch site, I vote that the thread be renamed to something like "Rocket Lab Discussion Thread." Anyone else think so?

There are a few timewarp mods out there, but I'm not sure which ones are updated.

Yeah, I've done that a few times... Also I decided to do a mission where I piloted mostly from map view. I was either going to Minmus or the Mun... And I managed to end up at the wrong moon...

Two things: 1. YAY! SPACE EXPLORATION POSSIBILITIES! ROCKETS ARE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!! 2. For NASA's sake, I do hope they can pull this off, but if it gets delayed by more than a few years, then we may (optimistically) be really close to actually sending people there, so an unmanned sample return mission is kind of pointless when you can have actual people on site (who can bring home way more samples than a small unmanned rocket) within a few years from then. Still, even if it is 2030 or something and 99% of the money has already been spent, I'd say fly it even if we already have people on Mars.

Yes, it is the school play. Today I learned I cannot do a New York accent very well... Flying toilet seat MK2 (12x the power) is coming, but my rocket range is currently filled with 8 foot tall stalks of corn. When that gets harvested, the 2017-2018 rocketry season will begin!

Really? I haven't copied anything since Chapter 11? Wow, I need to get busy!

...While playing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" on a massive 5000 ton rocket powered pipe organ...

I tried out for "Guys and Dolls" today.

AAAAaaaaaannd, out of likes because of this thread. EDIT: The plaques are made out of solid likes. Kerbals can only carry 25 likes at a time and plaques can be spontaneously assembled using 25 likes, which is why they can only carry one flag at a time. Fortunately, command modules have an Infinite Like Source installed, which is why Kerbals can summon an infinite amount of flags and an infinite amount of EVA fuel.

Thanks once again for your support, it means a lot! I never thought this many people would enjoy my story! Oh, yeah, and here's Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven - All we've ever known

Liftoff!

Composite of two images (the second one only for reference). That, as far as we know is the test stand for "Baby Raptor" at McGregor. As you can see, it packs quite a punch judging by those grass burn marks...

https://livestream.com/accounts/20522137/events/7675452 A launch of a Minotaur IV rocket on the ORS-5 mission is set to launch from Florida at 2:04 AM Florida time. Enjoy.

At my school we have 3 types of days. Monday and Wednesday are A days, Tuesdays and Thursdays are B days, and Fridays are C days. On A and B days we have four classes, but on C days we have all 8.

2: Build an awesome space station in RO/RP-0 and then realize you can't dock to it because some RCS ports are in the way. 3: Install KIS/KAS. 4: Crash the vessel you were using to remove the RCS ports.

*My classes magically line up so that I'm free to do whatever I want at the time of the launch* *School blocks all SpaceX related YouTube videos citing "Mature Content"* Also, those suits look really cool!

@Dman979 But she's named after me!
