Mr. Peabody

Every time I attempt to decouple/undock the rover + lander assembly, the craft begins a slow vibration which increases until it is destroyed. (Left screenshot) I have tried a lot of different modifications but ultimately have failed to correct the problem. There is no problem uncoupling from the bottom section of the craft, only the top. (Where the rover + lander are attached.) Does anyone know how to help me? KSP version 1.4.5.

What does it matter? Seriously though, you serious users take many seriously unimportant aspects of this game far too seriously. Say that 10x fast. I dare you.

You might try using an open-ended fairing to create a good looking barrel that is smaller than 1.25m.

Everything is in order. Congratulations on completing Topaz! You may claim your badge. I don't think I've ever seen a similar manned Minmus rocket design. It is very unique.

Thanks! I certainly will. Nope. I just didn't want to disappoint any would be newbie backyard astronomer.

I'm not too happy about it, but nothing can be done. Limiting submissions to pre-1.6.x would kill the challenge. Now that it's there, however, we can undoubtedly do some great new stuff with it.

Astronomy Events - 2019 Partial Solar Eclipse - January 6, 2019 Venus at greatest western elongation - January 6, 2019 2019 opens with a partial solar eclipse visible in Siberia and western Russia, and the reindeer won't be the only ones staring in wonderment at the heavens. The rest of us will be pointing our telescopes at our sister planet, Venus. The namesake planet of the god of love will reach its maximum western elongation on January 6th, providing an excellent viewing opportunity. Total Lunar Eclipse - January 21, 2019 The Babylonian empire ended back in 539 B.C., so the ancient lottery won't be selecting anyone for the job of "one-day king." Even so, a total lunar eclipse is a spectacular natural event well worth your attention. Totality will last just over 60 minutes. The eclipse will be visible in north & south America, north Africa, and western Europe. Conjunction of Jupiter & Venus - January 22, 2019 AND November 24, 2019 With no less than two conjunctions of Jupiter and Venus in the same year, astrologers and astronomers alike will be having a field day. So regardless of whether you are looking for signs in the sky or an easy opportunity to sight elusive Venus, you won't want to miss the greatest planetary event of 2019. Jupiter at Opposition - June 10, 2019 The largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, is never hard to spot. It will be especially conspicuous when it reaches opposition on the 10th of June. Look for the moons Ganymede, Callisto, Europa, and Io which will appear as bright points of light around the gas giant. Total Solar Eclipse - July 2, 2019 These never get old. The eclipse of July 2nd, 2019 will trace a path all the way from Tahiti to Argentina. If you are lucky enough to be in the area, you won't want to miss one of nature's greatest natural spectacles. Saturn at Opposition -July 9, 2019 When Galileo first pointed his telescope at Saturn, he spotted what he later thought to be two massive "handles" on either side. Today we recognize them as Saturn's rings, and there will be no better time to observe them then when the planet reaches opposition on July 9th. The planet will be inclined 24 degrees toward Earth, giving us a great look at those beautiful "handles." Although Saturn will be nearing its closest approach, the rings will not be visible to the naked eye. Perseids - August 13-14, 2019 Perseids, Queen of Meteors - The zenith hourly rate of meteors is expected to reach nearly 80 per hour as the Earth swings through litter left on the highway by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Unfortunately the moon will be in a very inconvenient phase (waxing gibbous) limiting the amount of visible shooting stars. Transit of Mercury - November 11, 2019 A transit of Mercury will occur on November 11th as the planet passes between the Earth and the sun. In the United States, those of us in the eastern standard time zone will be able to observe this phenomenon starting just after 7:30 EST, when many of us will be stuck in rush hour traffic. The transit will be visible in the Americas, western Europe, and Africa. Never look directly at the sun without protective equipment. Geminids - December 13-14, 2019 Geminids, King of Meteors - The zenith hourly rate will reach close to 100 meteors per hour as the shower peaks on December the 13th-14th. This meteor shower is my personal favorite and watching it while drinking hot chocolate and listening to beautiful holiday music has become a small tradition of mine. That spoil sport of a moon will once again be at an inconvenient phase (waning gibbous this time) limiting the amount of visible meteors. Note: This list is a compilation of all significant astronomy events in 2019. Several unimportant/common or inaccessible events (oppositions/elongations of Mercury) have been omitted.

Yep. Submissions from 1.6 will be just fine. (I had forgotten to update the OP.)

Lymes is bad, bad stuff. I've got family members who took the recommended antibiotics for the required period, but failed to kill the lymes bacteria. (Tested positive again after completing antibiotics.) They all developed chronic pain and other adverse symptoms. You can't be too careful. Lymes can also trigger many other secondary infections. Those with lymes in my family found that supplementing antibiotics with herbal/natural supplements and specific diet was the most effective.

It looks good, but some areas are a little rough on the aesthetics. With a little polishing that will be a gem.

One of these days you guys should host a stock + bdarmory tournament.

This is a good one. I may just have to try it.

Oh là là! Au revoir @Darth Badie.

*Squints* Looks familiar somehow.

They were better than base game engines. In any case I'm glad to see them nerfed. Keep up the good work!

Joyeux Noël!

I found it sitting on the tarmac outside an airport in Emanuel County, Georgia (United States.) Here is a photo taken by a local newspaper showing the squadron markings. Article archive is here. Turns out I was mistaken. It is being used as a gate-guard at the southeast Georgia regional airport.

Some ramp shooting I did a while back: Front end of a derelict old Vaught F-8 Crusader. Since this photo was taken it has been transferred to a museum for static display. The rest of the beast. No idea where it picked up that paint scheme.

That is groot, ya?

I've got a brand new aircraft to show you guys. I'm actually quite excited about how it turned out. Manueverability is superb, it has a high lift-to-drag ratio, and it looks great! My real-life-influence was Aurora Flight Science's Odysseus. I followed the same basic design, but dropped the solar cells and substituted turbo-jets for electric propellers.

K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid

I like 90% of the skin re-vamps. The 10% that I don't care for is absolutely horrible art. In any case, majority wins, right? You can't have your cake and eat it too. There is just one more thing: the C7 Aerospace Division’s Small Nose Cone looks like it has had *ahem* "encounters" with the local birds around the KSC. You can't blame them though. There aren't any windshields about.

Finally! I can scrap KER.

Excellent work!
