Granted. It immediately explodes as soon as you turn the power on. I wish I was a Kerbal.

Granted. It brings on the destruction of ultimate destruction. I wish to be a hyper-intelligent shade of blue.

Banned because Star Wars IS space opera, and you failed to do the research to determine that is plain fact.

Granted, but not wanting to understand and actually understanding aren't mutually exclusive. So while you want him to not understand, he still does. I wish I was Schroedinger's cat.

This sometimes happens to me when I switch from KSP to Paint for screen capturing. The only solution I've found is to exit KSP and restart. If you find a better solution, let us know.

It's not! Proof!

Ah. I don't play in sandbox other than to test rocket designs, so I have no experience with MJ there. For my issue, it was in career mode. But it was the same issue you experienced, which is why I responded. Might have to go to GitHub and report this as a bug...and then hope the developer is still around and fixing things.

Banned for not realizing that Star Wars is space opera, which is a distinct sub genre of science fiction.

Again, as I stated, the addition/removal of a letter does not need to make the new word an actual word.

Banned for banning multiple people multiple times in one post.

You are still modifying the word in a way that goes against the game rules. Add, Change, or Remove 1 letter. Not rewrite the entire word, or create a word that sounds the same. 1 letter. The new word doesn't have to be a real word, or even make sense. But 1 letter only. Original Word: Testimony Change: Testimoany

Wrong! @Dunatuna

The speed you are traveling is at the top of the navball, as I've highlighted in the below screen shot. Traveling too fast will, as you've seen, result in the chute being destroyed. My suggestion is to build the following craft and test this. It's close to what the trainer wants you to do, but tweaked a bit to make it a bit easier to drive. from the top down: Mk16 Parachute. Leave the default of .04, but change the height to 5000 (maximum) Mk1 Command Pod After placing it, click it to pick it up and hit E once; this will orient the exit of the craft towards the water Right click on it and remove all of the Monopropellant. This will reduce both weight and cost Flea Solid Rocket Booster If you want, you can right-click on this and reduce the thrust 4 x Basic Fin The craft will look like the first shot below in the VAB. Launch, and as soon as you hit the space bar to stage the SRB, hit and hold S; this will have you flying over the water at a decent angle. Your Ap might get up around 8km or so. Just be sure that you don't hold the S key too long or you may end up speeding right at the ground. Keep an eye on your speed relative to your height; when it starts to really slow down, you'll know that you are approaching your Ap. As soon as you start to descend, stage the chute. I hope this helps. If you find that this isn't helping, or that things are still whackoid, post a few images of the craft you built. In the VAB, in flight, speeding towards certain doom so we can see what is happening

When you stage the chute, what is your speed? The chute may actually stage but never deploy due to speed, so check how fast you are going when you stage. Also, pay attention and see if you are getting a message in the middle of the screen that says the chute was destroyed due to heat and force; thats another big indicator you are going too fast. I'm assuming you are aiming straight up as you mention hitting 18km. Change the altitude on the chute to 5km. Turn east during launch, towards the water, trying to keep your Ap under 8km. Deploy just as you start to descend.

Today, in my Moderate career, I learned that setting a Pe of 1000m above the surface of the Mun can and will mean that you are going to crash into the side of a crater. Apparently, this is not high enough. Poor Jeb; we knew ye well.

We shall be watching your career with great interest.

You chose...poorly. @Souptime

Yep, you are missing textures. I'm assuming you use CKAN, so I suggest making sure all your mods are up to snuff.

Banned for not realizing I've never posted in the Don't Click thread.

Granted. The mods come in and ban you. I wish for content farms to come back.
