  1. This year, I resolve to do the Jool 5.
  2. Nice to see ksp is historically significant.
  3. I was able to pull of a 45km periapsis with this ship:
  4. Today, I launched the second Duna expedition. The mission has ran into serious trouble, because the mechjeb module malfunctioned and nearly 2000m/s of delta V were wasted. After some thought, I decided to continue the mission as planned with landings on Duna and Ike. Due to fuel problem, it was decided that the lander would transfer to Ike without the mothership. This turned out to be a mistake as the lander ran out of fuel ascending from Ike. Fortunately, the RCS had enough delta V to make orbit. The current plan is to bring the mothership to the lander and preform a minimum delta V transfer back to Kerbin. The way things are going however, I might have to send a rescue mission to Duna.
  5. I've been meaning to go to Duna for a while now. I made a custom flag and sent several probes, but never got around to sending any kerbals. But the other day I was watching some Statzenblitz videos and thought to myself, 'Screw it, I'm going to Duna." After about 5 minutes of work, I had a Duna ship. There was some krakening with the launcher, but after a revision and turning on autostrut, everything was just fine. I originally kept the booster leftovers on the ship for extra delta owV, but when I switched back to the ship, they krakened out, so I ejected them. After waiting in orbit for a year and a half, the ship leaves for Duna. The ship on the edge of Duna's SOI. After a braking burn and some circularization, the ship was left in a 160km orbit, and the lander was detached from the ship. It was here that I realized the heat shield obstructed the lander's engine. It was promptly dumped. I remembered the parachutes! They slowed the lander down to 20m/s. The landing went smoothly. Success! Also, I forgot Jeb. The kerbals ascend. The lander returns to the transfer ship. Here, leftover liquid fuel was transferred to the transfer ship. The lander was then abandoned. The ship leaves Duna for Kerbin Burning to slow down. The re-entry periapsis was 35 km. Later, the Kerbal Space Program would face lawsuits for improper disposal of nuclear material. I remembered the parachutes again! Mandatory after-flight shot. Total mission time was about 3 years. Destiny fulfilled.
  6. I created a base on minmus, so the surrounding flats were littered with descent stages, boosters, and RTGs.
  7. Currently, I name my craft after stock planets/moons. Moho- suborbital rockets Eve- orbital rockets Gilly- space planes Duna- probes Ike- Manned landers None listed planets are undetermined.
  8. I've always been of the opinion that a zombie apocalypse could be managed through use of nuclear ordnance.
  9. I use the debug menu whenever it's the only way to prevent a kerbal's death.
  10. I don't know about the high resolution part, but if you go into the administration building there's some images of the support staff.
  11. The first thing I tried to do was built a rocket. After that failed, I worked through some tutorials to get a hang of the game. I then played through the half-life series over the next few months, and came back to ksp after that.
  12. It's beginning to look a lot like Kristmas.
  13. The Kristmas tree has landed After some experimentation, I developed a non-explosive version of the tree. I then sent the tree to the minmus base. The initial landing was 2km away from the base, with a few hundred m/s delta v left. After a series of hops, and sliding around on the ground, I got the tree right up to the base.
  14. I rarely encounter the kraken, but my recent Kristmas tree doubled as a kraken summoner. After some expirimentation, I found that radially attaching I-beams to other I-beams was causing the kraken.
  15. I built a kristmas tree! Huh. I never realized how dangerous kristmas trees could be.
