    DUNA! BECAUSE OF IT NOT BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE, I HAD TO GO TO JOOL!

    seriously, i made a probe, my first to go outside the SOI of Kerbin,and i put it in a maneuver to go to Duna, but it never got an encounter, and i thought, DO A HOHMANN TRANSFER! DO IT LIKE YOUR DOCKING! (which i just recently did for the first time YAY) but i was terrible at docking, so i just said TO JOOL! FOR NO SPECIFIC REASON! and so began the story of wanderer 1 (a name inspired by voyager, gettit? voyager? wanderer?) but that is another story. i just recently arrived at the elusive duna, and it, was overestimated, just a big red lump of klay.

    so at first, i got KSP, then i built a rocket (easy) but i did something that would make experienced people quiver at night, I DIDN'T CHECK MY STAGING

    i sent the rocket out to the launchpad, i had started with simple 1 engine rockets, just a hammer, no fins, and i started the rocket with the right click menu, strangely i discovered the right click menu before the spacebar (more on that later)

    so the first few launches went great and i said "you know what, i like this game, I'm going to buy the full version" only 4 DAYS AFTER I misheard someone talk about it in my science class, turns out i greatly overestimated the community (not in an insulting way, just i thought that you spent all your time making big ships like a star destroyer, wait, scratch that, YOU DO DO THAT!)

    i built lots of rockets, and got mad after i made a rocket made of 2 stage SRB, just a hammer on top of a flea, and i did career mode, and thought, "hey, who needs contracts, i can do all of this myself! i don't need no stinkin contracts!" and about 20 launches later (none to orbit) i was surprised to find that my account had dwindled to zero, so i thought "well, lets save the career when i get to Scott Manley level" which, no.

    i made a MASSIVE ROCKET, just a Mk3-Mk2-Mk1 rocket, with 4 SRBs on the side. it only got to orbit, and a highly eccentric one, and a few weeks later, i was surprised to find, my perhaps was still inside the atmosphere, so i deorbited my first orbital satellites, everything great, the golden probe core, 4 gigatatron solar panels, and every science equipment in the category, and an 88-88 antenna.

    so i was good with single engine rockets, but i wanted to do the asparagus staging (at that moment i had no idea of what the asparagus staging was, now, all my career modes have a very generic asparagus rocket) i just build a 4 engine rocket, and i used the right click menu, and i saw that that made the engines, hit the VAB... but then i discovered launch stability assisters, and i was okay for the time being, so i checked out the KSP reddit, which was my KSP community place, before i discovered the forums, and i found out the glorious spacebar, so i made my first staging, and i had the staging COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN, and i thought "okay, my staging is setting my parachute to go first, how do i fix that, oh wait, maybe it is just a glitch!" so i thought that for about a few weeks, and then i finally did the tutorials, so i found out i was an idiot, and my staging was upside down. so i fixed that, and my space program was saved!

    a few weeks later i said "lets go to the mun!" and i made a great rocket! which would have been greater if i FOUND OUT ABOUT ASPARAGUS STAGING! and so began the Jebidiah Program, named after Jeb, who, impossibly, died in a re-entry accident. the first 2 went perfectly, then on Jeb 3, i said TO THE MUN! ITS ARMSTRONG TIME! and, i failed , and failed again, and again, and then, i failed again, but then, i landed in 2 of the most kerbal situations, my rocket ran out of fuel, and only my command pod survived, so Jeb 6,7,8,9,and 10 were sent to save them, and, as you probably have guessed, all of them failed, and i slowly made adjustments to the rocket, i added solar panels, i added ore processing, and radiators, the less said about Jeb 7 the better. but on Jeb 10, i landed, and i was so far away, one of my Kerbals died trying to get to the rocket, so i sent it closer, and, died somehow...probably the kraken. but then on Jeb 11, came the great crashining! the game crashed! no parts loaded! nothing was spared! the culprit? i think i was KAS or KIS, probably one of the ten mods i downloaded. before that i only had infernal robotics, i had a great idea of a landing leg from IR, but then i discovered the fact that the landing legs didn't rotate form the attachment point. so i left for a while.

    so the conclusion of this story i probably will be continuing is, if at first you don't succeed, its probably the fact that you haven't thought enough, or too much.

    just read the instructions! like the name of one of the SpaceX barges!

    Kylo Ren is Luke

    people kept saying this at school before the movie came out, apparently their only leg to stand on was a youtube and Luke's robotic hand :huh:

    about the robotic hand, apparently (i know this from the prequels) Anakin had a robotic hand and so forth "if luke has a robotic hand...der...then he will end up the same as Darth Vader...der..." robotic hands aren't psychological

    Mod Request/idea: Gravity assist helper

    in KSP1 Mods Discussions

    Posted · Edited by StupidAndy

    as the title says, it would be really nice if we could have a helper with gravity assists, like KER (is that going to be updated for 1.2? if ever?) but for gravity assists, so you could do gravity assists and missions like voyager, so you didn't have to have that much Delta-V on your rocket, so you can have more for the mission and moving around to adjust your orbit so you could make a mission like Cassini, resulting in more science, and more places you said you went to
