The "Invincible Eagle"

What on earth happened to the sticky? This was an excellent thread to have at the top. It's been there as long as I've been on the forum.

Landing is possible, but Tylo will be a killer. In answer to your question, I'm actually not sure. I haven't ever gotten T6 tech from a greenolith. Is the tech node you receive random or does it depend on the body you found the greenolith on?

As stated earlier, it's forgivable due to my blunder in not spotting it earlier and because of the sheer difficulty of diamond level. In future avoid using KER or similar mods at all.

Excellent run! I am honored to award you the the diamond level Caveman badge. Unga Bunga! Side note: I only now noticed that you had KER installed. That's forgivable this time because I didn't notice it sooner and I'm not a cruel monster. Next time though it is not an allowed mod. One more thing, I can't update the leader board at the moment due to a forum glitch. I will do so as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

That's funny.

Every time I attempt to edit one of my posts a message pops up requiring me to verify that I am not a robot. I do, but it erases my edit and when I go to save the edit again the same thing happens.

Most impressive!

Today I deployed a replica of the Herschel space observatory using my Faucon shuttle. Deploying telescope following orbital assembly. Beauty shot on the way home. Approach. (Yes, I overshot and had to perform a go-around.) And landing. Mission successful.

STS-3 "I can see you" On the pad. Due to the resemblance of the launching system to a falcon rocket I've decided to name this shuttle the Faucon. (french for falcon) Jebediah is aboard to put some life into the mission. Gravity turn. Asparagus booster separation Circularization Circularization Primary orbital booster separation Here we are raising the orbit and increasing inclination Secondary orbital booster separation (following final orbital adjustment burns) final orbital inclination: 26.9 Edemy attaching the flare shield/solar array using the manned maneuvering unit Assembly complete! After completing assembly Edemy re-docks the MMU and the excess docking port is decoupled from the flare shield Herschel space observatory is off! I love this screenshot. Reducing inclination and orbital altitude. Fuel margins were tight, but the ever reliable poodle engine saved the day. Beauty shot. Re-entry Approach the the KSC. Jebediah overshot the runway, forcing us to perform a turn-around before landing. Fortunately the orbiter had just enough glide left to reach the runway. Down and safe Final telescope apoapsis: 6,013,447m. Final telescope periapsis: 5,970,811m. The telescope is inclined at 26.9 degrees.

What is the powerplant on that aircraft?

Built a fairly realistic stock replica of the Herschel space telescope. KSP IRL

Are 2 MMUs required? Or can I use one MMU to assemble the telescope? I understand how 2 MMUs would make sense for a sterio-typical hubble style telescope with twin solar arrays but it doesn't make much sense for the telescope that I have built. As you can see, the telescope uses a single solar array mounted on the detachable flare shield. During assembly, only one MMU would be needed to attach the flare shield/solar array to the telescope. In case you are wondering the IRL telescope that this one closely resembles is the Herschel space telescope.

Most impressive! You're well on your way to becoming the first Caveman to complete diamond as their first attempt at the challenge. You are also the first Caveman to land on and return from Duna. I'll be looking forward to seeing the results of your Eve mission. For your successful Duna land and return mission, I am honored to award you the "Order of the Trilobite." You may claim your badge.

Great read! When we left Kerbin, it changed our world.

Don't forget to add the dreaded...

Yes. Upwards facing ion engines usually do the trick. Without them just driving will put you sub-orbital.

Now I'm curious as to what the 3 other races were and where they lived. Excellent chapter.

Great work! I have greatly enjoyed your stories. They always combine great looking screenshots with excellent plot making for a very enjoyable read. I'll be looking forward to reading more of this one. Keep up the good writing and photo-shopping.

Perfect! The gun was real and both murderers got captured.

That's fine. I can add the flag myself. Is is on kerbalx?

STS-2A "I can hear" This is what I've been up to in my spare time today. On the pad Liftoff & gravity turn Booster separation Circularization Circularization Primary booster separation Raising orbit Deploying comsats Comsat constellation (following insertion in geostationary orbit) Same as above Secondary booster separation Satellite info More satellite info Same as above (more satellite info) Re-entry Approach to the KSC Landed on the runway. This is perhaps the most nerve-wrecking yet enjoyable time in the mission.

'That so?

Ah, but @Vanamonde is a global moderator.
