Mr. Peabody

Take the bus tour.

Prolonged exposure to social media without reactions may affect the brain and is known to cause side-affects such as: An inexplicable desire to receive a notification. A tendency to wonder what in hell is taking the technicians so long. If you experience any of these symptoms or side-affects contact your forum's IT support immediately.

There's an idea...

Where do I find these? For those who thought that sounded familiar, it's to the tune of Roddy McCorley with catchy lyrics.

Me likewise @Poodmund...

Splendid! Politics aside would you care to learn about the other side? See, it even rhymes. I hope this is OK with the mods. I'm don't want to offend anyone. If there's a problem just contact me and I'll fix things right away.

Before we have anyone else post images please note this: If your image is not absolutely stunning and as good as the current loading screen images don't post it. You'll only be disappointed. This thread isn't about sharing good-looking screenshots. There is already a thread for that. The poor squad staff shouldn't have to look through pages of mediocre images to find the true gems. Thank you very much.

I've never really had a single mission failure. You see, I test fly all my spacecraft 4-5 times before the "real" mission. It takes many failures to make a success.

KSP action figures! Who do you think we are? A bunch of star-struck kids? Yep. You're actually spot on. #kidsatheart

More appropriate today than it ever was in 1781. - "The World Turned Upside Down"

I've been mucking about with alien style Minmus landers. This one looks like it's part dalek.

Here we go again. Good luck to you!

Real spacemen speak French.

@ManeTI, my profile banner is now zoomed in too far. I suspect it is a result of this afternoon's forum update. What hast thou done?

@ManEatingApe, I'm not entirely sure how to award badges for this challenge attempt. Is it an actual Caveman run, (ie. all necessary parts have to be researched and funds collected before the Jool mission) or is it a Jool 5 with Caveman tech?

I have observed two major groups of players during my tenure on the forum: True space enthusiasts who would like KSP to become a more realistic space "simulation." Players who don't really care whether KSP is realistic and just want to have fun with a great game. The differences between these two camps is irreconcilable. It is literally impossible to please both. Therefore, KSP devs have attempted to walk a thin line, making the game just realistic enough to pacify the enthusiasts while still making it easy enough for regular players and those who may not have enough time for a realistic simulation. I must admit that I am of the second group. I just don't have the time to build and fly realistic spacecraft/aircraft. I read somewhere that only 25% of KSP players have landed on the Mun. That may or may not be an accurate indication of the skill level of most KSP players. If the majority of players want a simulation, then it is only fair that the devs take the game in that direction. If the opposite is true, than it should certainly remain as it now is. I can understand where the space "nerds" are coming from. You guys eat, sleep, and breathe space. But it's like a movie adaptation of your favorite book. There are some zealots who really want the movie script to mirror the book, but what is interesting as a book may not be enough to capture an audience's attention in a movie format. Therefore, in order to appeal to the "masses," the producers add scenes to the movie that are not included in the original book. This drives the "zealots" nuts, but it makes the movie more interesting for the majority of those concerned. It's like that with KSP too. The diversity of the player-base is one of the factors that makes KSP a great game. It is my hope that the devs can come to a solution that is agreeable to everyone.

If the hair makes the man, the badge makes the challenge. I'd love to try a fuel mission, but I'm afraid it would be beyond my current time constraints.

Second amendment sir. You're within your rights. Just watch out if you live in LA or New York...

I'll take the liberty of posting something somewhat off topic: Who says cavemen don't play ball? (Jake Cave, wearing his "caveman" jersey for player's weekend.) https://twitter.com/Twins/status/11650766

This announcement will get me through my day. It's incredible that there is very little celebratory music for this announcement. Let's fix that:

@Just Jim, you sneaky fellow. You knew all along... Have you been working on KSP2?

This hit me like a truck going 80 mph down the highway. I never had the faintest inkling...

Makes me want to hijack it and then bail out with a parachute.

Your aircraft, @SuicidalInsanity, is my favorite. I've no doubt that it won't take top honors, but the unique shape of the craft deserves a medal of its own. As far as I'm concerned, no other craft will come close to touching it in terms of aesthetics.
