I think it might need MOAR RCS!!

Milgard Kerman: died 5-16-2018. Attempted flyby (foolishly approved by mission control, who thought that the crew would find the action amusing) of the lander after jumping off Anomaly Number 1. Subsequently proved why she was a scientist and not a pilot. At least she proved that the Mun’s surface is as unforgiving as we thought in the process. Was found in the astronaut complex by the time the rest of the crew returned.

I think I made it suborbital in one of the demo versions. And probably crashed. You might start noticing a pattern here...

@Artienia, would you like to take a turn?

1. Use spaceplanes whenever possible. Most of the time space shuttles 2. Actually complete the missions. I have a bad habit of not following this one. 3. Don’t kill Kerbals. This one sadly is broken on my latest save, which had a kerbal who was fooling around on the Mun with a jet pack lithobrake rapidly. Appropriately, she was not a pilot. 4. All Kerbals shall avoid Eve and Jool’s atmospheres. Only unmanned probes are allowed there

Go ahead!

There are some keyboards that have keys that do that! I don’t think there’s any that do the whole keyboard though. That would definitely be awesome

Ok then, nevermind

Is that a yes?

Would you like to take a turn?

It’s updated to 1.4.1. When either of you are ready, go ahead and take your turn. I definatly need to check in here more often.

Oh, l’ll remove them then. I honestly hadn’t noticed, thanks for pointing that out!

We’re ready, so let’s go faster/further! “Jeb, why are you on the Mun?” “I had extra fuel!” “And now you’re stuck there?” “Yep!” *Gene facepalms*

I would like to enter 2 planes, if this isn't dead. P-5a "Flash": https://kerbalx.com/53miner53/P-5a-Flash Fighter 3 Mk4 "Delta": https://kerbalx.com/53miner53/Fighter-3-Mk4

Then you can go take a turn if you would like to!

Express to front page!

Aw come on, I just finished! Oh well, guess I don't get a medal, but here's the mission anyway. I think some might like it.

Floor 3035: the hall of fame for the previous floors race, and a glass floor for spectators of the annual 6hr365day race. You watch for a while before moving on.

Pokémon energy cards. Hey you! Zombie! I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!

Didn’t they change history on one of the previous flights, with Jeb changing the staging so that the parachute didn’t activate with the main engine?

I think he shot one of them in the arm or the leg. They wouldn’t be dead, only injured, and the Kerbals could put the kerbulus in the medical facility and bring them to the side of the Kerbals

I rebuilt P-5 for 1.4 and BDA 1.2. The a variant is still being worked on though, and despite PWings not being updated for 1.4, the 1.3 version still works well.

I started with orbit, then I went for landings on the Mun and Minmus, and then went and got the full game and messed around with space shuttles a lot. With those I figured out what an efficient gravity turn is like, docking came surprisingly easily, and I think I know almost by feel if a plane will be stable or not. Things that used to barely make orbit can now take 150+ tons to LKO or can take a rokomax 64 to escape velocity before using up the EFT. Still trying to get around to a minimum Δv mission by design instead of one mission that just happened to end up that way.

It depends, sometimes I’ll mess with iTunes in the background, sometimes I won’t bother with it, sometimes I’ll start iTunes while I’m playing.

Launched Kerbals on untested spaceplanes and subjected them to reentry several times until they find a way to survive. Sent a kerbal on a planned multi flyby mission that failed to acquire the chain of events required and is stuck on a path intersecting Munar orbit with 17m/s of Δv. Left Jeb, Bill, Bob, and Val on Duna for a while.
