Burn for where? By the way, great story!

These chapters keep getting better!

I think so. 2.2j, the URL, and the style will probably be the big differences.

I get it when the game isn't in the computer's focus at the end of loading. I sometimes alt+tab out of KSP while it's loading, and sometimes this occurs.

I forgot to take the pics. uploading now. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0eMT8zRijNmS3dUNVlZalZzN0k

I would like to enter Fighter 2 into the challenge! https://kerbalx.com/53miner53/Fighter-2 https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0eMT8zRijNmS3dUNVlZalZzN0k If the pictures aren't up yet, wait a few minutes. I forgot to grab some before exiting KSP.

Jebhat Kerman. He's my test pilot! Don't think he's a BadS though...

Build a space shuttle, and crash it during reentry. Or landing. Or launch... Find a bug.

I use RCS because I find it easy to dock with RCS. If I don't have a full set of RCS, I bring the docking ports to touching, and hope that the magnets are strong enough. They barely are. I do the same thing when I have a full set of RCS though.

I don't have any pics, but I was testing a launch system for Columbia LR. It had 4 of the shuttle's usual boosters, with all their thrust going through the heaviest external tank I had used so far. I went for a test launch, but 52 seconds into the launch, it underwent extremely rapid unplanned disassembly. Parts were flying in every direction at significant fractions of Kerbin's orbital velocity. I reverted to the VAB, where I had some minor glitches while building, though I can't remember what the glitches were, beyond the VAB just not liking the craft. I then flew several more test flights, where I either had the exact same result despite having more struts installed, or needed to abort before the 52 second mark and had all physics except the momentum of the parts just quit. I took that as a sign to just go with the alternate plan of Saturn Shuttle.

I also remember seeing a Lunex style challenge earlier this year.

I think that we could add a large centrifuge module to the ISS to help with microgravity. Or launch one for a Mars mission. Or strap a reusable spaceplane to the top of one for crew transfers.

If we add a detachable heat shield to the drone, then we don't need to unfurl the wings during reentry. Though it would be larger, we could try to send it to the ISS in pieces and assemble it there, though I don't know if that's feasible.

On the debate for RSS/RO: I feel that having multiple versions of it would work best. We could have a stock one that would be this one under new management, one in full RO, and a few more in various steps between, with lower than 1/2 scale RSS being Kerbol system rescales, and greater than being RSS rescales, mostly because I want to launch on some of the harder difficulties, but can't get to orbit in RSS.

EFT-1, maybe with an overbuilt Delta VI. I do have room for 5 Kerbals onboard thanks to command seats. EM-1, with 4 cubesats, though one was lost, likely due to premature deployment. I also flew directly from the atmosphere to the Mun, in one long burn.

You're right. That was the best chapter so far!

I know I was on there somewhere. I guess I have a lot more waiting to do.

Wrong. 7059th poster in the thread. The user below me plays modded KSP.

I use a multistage rocket pack to find @Overfloater and take my cookie back. I hide it in one of the other safes. my cookie.

I'm still here with my well hidden cookie, which wasn't in a well. I also take @Joseph Kerman's full inventory of cookies and hide them with my cookie. my cookie

I destroy IKS spaceships with orbital bombardment platforms launched by my many space shuttles, which land at the hill, heavily armed. My hill.

Destroyed by rubber mallet.

Not them. @Joseph Kerman

Maybe we could have 2 active stations in LKO, other than the parking station? TBH I'd rather not get rid of the old station, no matter what happens. I would likely start the new station, as I'm the next person signed up. Sorry!

Floor 1851: there are one of every rocket design ever built launching at the same time around the world. Too bad this floor has no windows, or TVs, or internet access.
