StupidAndy replied to Ultimate Steve's topic in The Lounge

I went to Jool it was fun have a picture:
-
the problem with the OBC is that they don't sell lifetime anymore, they got rid of it so people would have to buy more then one purchase of it, also they got rid of Tix so now you have to buy everything, that's most of the reason I don't play it anymore, they're just out for money, money, money.

I hope its not cloudy, I'll only get to see it at around 70%, but still

SpaceX is doing things, NASA, while doing probes, is just not doing much innovation this day (in rockets, not probes, I like rockets, probes are good, but I like rockets more) EDIT: AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO VOTED FOR SPACEX??
-
so today I wanted to go to Jool, so I built a probe and went there good day, no more info, that's all you need! okay FINE YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PICTURES! Behold! Joolo I! a masterpiece, with the NERV as the main engine, and the main rocket having enough DV to get this to orbit! Joolo I accidentally dropped into the atmosphere and we had to make a new one, looks like a Delta IV Heavy, this is a very basic rocket, I think around 13 parts for the entire booster, so no lag inducing! it flies really goodly, but I hit the launch clamps on the way up so it did something to the ascent it actually has good gimballing, so NO FINS FOR YOU! I don't know what that is from, the internet? it has so much DV that if the asparagus staging doesn't count as a stage I have a SSTO! so I get to have the entire second stage as my transfer stage! no filthy 3 stage rockets! you can see Joolo I, but I left it mid atmospheric flight so it isn't of any use to us for some reason the first stage got ahead of us, this is it flying past us and TRANSFER BEGIN! TRANSFER CONTINUE! NERV STAGE TRANSFER CONTINUE! here's our trajectory! also you can see its now THE sun and transfer end! hey Kerbin, where ya goin'? Kerbin? KERBIN? KERBIIIIIIIIIIIIN?? KERBIN WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOO?!?!?!?!? WHERE DID KERBIN GO? were pretty high up, I wonder what would happen if the sun suddenly had an atmosphere...? no this didn't start out as a reference to your mod, but sure, why couldn't it end up as one @sambelanger? I think you can see Jool in this picture "Hey, uhh guys, what's that small green splotch in the distance?" "Guys, the splotch is getting bigger!" "GUYS THE SPLOTCH IS PRETTY BIG NOW "THAT IS ONE BIG SPLOTCH!!" "okay, you guys should really be able to see the splotch now, I think the splotch has some orbiting orbs..." "the splotch is my target? whos stupid idea was that? its only green! that's all you need to know!" "this splotch is pretty big, okay FINE, I'll call it JOOL!!" "hey I can see a blue moon! I'll name it Joe!'' starting the insertion burn, we've had enough of the speaking probe! extremely loose orbit, but YAY! ORBIT! I think that there is some moons in this picture the problem with the extremely loose orbit is that it takes FOREVER to do anything inclination burn for our 3 main targets! Laythe, Vall, and Tylo! this isn't my first time going to Jool, but the other time was about 6 months ago, and I now have a brain for doing this 3200m/s at periapsis, and around 150m/s at apoapsis, a kind of big difference Vall encounter! hooray! look at it! very low! so low! NOT LOW ENOUGH! interestingly enough, the entire mission so far was done without Val's knowledge, up until this photo, Val walked in as we got this photo, and now she is on the Launchpad about to go to Jool herself. we should go stop her... pretty pictures... its big...and blueish... AAAHHH!! TOO BIG!! TOO BIG!!! getting closer to Periapsis! I wonder if those patches of darker blue are like Minmus' flats, it would make a good place for a base! if I could make bases... okay little microbes that hitchhiked, if you look out your left side, you will see a planet covering your entire view, if you look out your right side, you will see barren space here is a picture of Jool, a tad bit obstructed ahh, there's our friend Jool! currently the mission is around T+3 years 144 days, so it takes a bit of time to get to Jool our next victim is in our sights, Laythe, HOW DARE THEY TRY TO COPY KERBIN, GLORY TO KERBIN!!! welcome to Orbital Mechanics 101, our first lesson, this mess: hi laythe!! we're going to get you!! this is pretty, I might be one of the only ones but I like the stock visuals (mostly because I cant get the graphic mods to work...) LOOK AT THE STOCK GRAPHICS UNTIL IT LOOKS BETTER IN YOUR EYES!! hey, aren't there supposed to be islands on this planet? hello? islands? HELLOOOO? ahh, there they are! I'll name the lowest one Joeland, the trapezoid Trapezoidberg, and the other two are Island Chain 1 and 2 BYE LAYTHE! and with this mess, I'll stop here, I still have 3/5 moons to go to, and I have no idea how to inclination, I think I have around 3000-7000DV remaining (I asparagused the exo probe tanks) so I could get the inclination with brute force, or I could use Tylo, which I still have to go to

I started to make the way to make my MinBase! and a rover! musnt forget the rover, ALL HAIL ROVER!! current satellite network: scanner sat, I think that this is the lower one? the higher one is the one with the bigger scanner this one! my current base plan: and how I will get it down? I don't know, its really, really, REALLY early prototype I have a miner lander I have ready to land, but the 3.75m fairings are TERRIBLE at decoupling, they either break my radiators, or break my solar panels, or interestingly enough, my transfer stage...? don't know how that happened

oh yeah, I saw that in pictures!

totm nov 2023 SpaceX Discussion Thread
StupidAndy replied to Skylon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
T- what? 8 days? YES!! -
I took off! then I attempted to land! I like how when you die you flop around the cockpit its annoying how there is time in the demo, I was about to land in a tutorial and a popup, well, popped up, and told me that my time was up! just as I was about to land game is fun though, I might pick it up on steam, does it go on sale?

oooooooh...brakes I'm stewpid

final preparations have moved to the Launchpad of Great Ez Cape, with the rocket almost ready for takeoff in 3 days (Current D22) currently only final testing is happening on individual parts. Picture from worker making sure that the launch clamps are working: Civilian photo approximately one kilometer away from the rocket: a view of the underside of the rocket, with 5 visible LVT-30s, and one main S3 S-25 a view of the rocket on the pad on a dock at the Great Ez Cape: view from the other dock at the Great Ez Cape: the rocket will take off from the Great Ez Cape on Y1 D25 to the United Kerbin Space Station, delivering Valentina Kerman (Commander-USAD), Bill Kerman (Pilot/Engineer 1, KASP), and Billy-Bobdin Kerman (Engineer 2, KASP) to the station to Join Jebediah Kerman (Station Commander, KASP) for an indefinite amount of time. at the end of the mission, Valentina will take command of the station from Jebediah, who will join Bill and Billy-Bobdin to return to Kerbin (I will launch this tomorrow, I just realized that none of you know what my rockets look like, so I will spend the rest of the day taking pictures of all of them and posting them here, YOUR WELCOME!)
