  1. Yeah!!! Even though I haven't been on this forum for long, it's an honor to be mentioned still! -Dunked
  2. A nuclear armageddon? Ah... I do believe we have a NERVA coming in hot at 6 o'clock. That should give you a nice nuclear explosion. I would like a nice big scoop of Minmus, please!
  3. and over 16000 dV in Low Eve Orbit! (Don't listen to him, please! I've been playing for close to a year, and I'm nowhere near good enough for Laythe, much less Tylo or Eve!)
  4. well dang... these put my lil' Hammer-powered "plane" to shame! (No, I don't have pictures yet)
  5. hmm... yeah. Does anyone else think they'll release 1.7 with the Enhanced Edition update now?
  6. wut? 78? 76? (+) @Aperture Science both posts were clearly edited after @The_Cat_In_Space called them out
  7. Chapter 2- “Fired UP”: K.R.A.S.H.E.D. Launchpad 1A - Hammer Test 1, 1 Moho 40 (T-45 Days to Arc 3, -46 Days to Arc 4, and -47 Days to Arc 5, ~80-150 Days to Bluestone 1) Well, it appears that the news has leaked about the crews for the next Arc missions, and Keryan about hit the Mün when he found out he was going on one of the “first five” missions, but that was only the beginning. The next leak was far greater in order of magnitude! Remember that EX-L1 Swivel engine Bill was talking about? Turns out they’ve also prepared a radially-attached decoupler (similar to the horizontal one we’re using for the Hammer Hops due to the higher altitude) to attach either a Flea or a Hammer to it and make it go even higher. If that works… well, I’m already eating my helmet if it does start working before my flight. They’ve set a tentative date, D140, but more likely than not it will end up being about D120 at the earliest or D190 at the latest. Anyway, the plan is for that mission to go suborbital, just barely poking out of Kerbin’s atmosphere. There are currently plans for 3 of these missions before we hit the Merkury phase; moar boosters, moar struts, moar thrust, and (maybe) moar Kerbals per flight, but that isn’t too likely with the cost of developing a new capsule, although if that is the case, then I want to fly with Valentina. Hopefully she doesn’t catch wind of this, but I think she’s really cute, not to mention she’s smart, pretty funny, and isn’t afraid of taking risks. But I’m talking about things beyond my control, and right now is the first Hammer test, about 300m away. It should burn for about 25 seconds, and we should be able to feel it. *10, 9, 8, 7, 6…* Oh man… *5, 4, 3, 2, 1… IGNI--*violent roar begins emitting from testing stand* WOAH!!!! I CAN FEEL THE GROUND SHAKING!!!! *Shutdown in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… and successful booster shutdown. I repeat, test was a success!* Wow. That was something else right there! I think I’m still shak- *eep* *quieter* Oh man… there she is. Val… but who am I kidding, she’s probably already dating and what would she want with a guy who hasn’t flown yet? But, perhaps there’s a chance… no. The chances of her dating me? None. She’d laugh at me. For now, I’m keeping it to myself. Besides, she’s not shaking and if she saw me trying to talk to her in my current condition, I’d become a laughing stock. I’m not fooling anyone like this… heck, even if Bob or Bill catches wind of this I’m never going to hear the end of it! Ah well, I’ll just have to satisfy myself with by heading back to the dorm. I guess that’s all I really have to say today. I’ll try to write some more in a few days… I’ve got a lot on my mind, heaps of orbital mechanics with Wernher Von Kerman. This is Jebediah Kerman, Log Entry (J10-Alpha-3), signing off. Author’s Note: I’m still disappointed in all of our readers, none of whom have figured out the references! (No, @Salmon, you don’t count!) Surely someone will be able to find it soon! Editor’s Note(s): Visit Encyclopedia Astronautica if you run out of ideas for craft building. No, I did not create it either. I'm not that awesome. Second Author's Note: @Salmon is that awesome! Third (and final) Author's Note: I leave for New Zealand forI two weeks, and I will essentially be off the grid. @Barzon Kerman, @The_Cat_In_Space, and @Lo Var Lachland please don't @ me. I lied. I have one more thing: SALMON AND I WROTE THIS CHAPTER IN UNDER A DAY HOW BOUT DAT??
  8. hmm... yeah I'll give you that. Like rn I'm getting ready to upload Chapter 2 for my Journal (thanks, @adsii1970 for the idea!) but I leave for New Zealand early tomorrow morning.
  9. i am so confused... 10/10 (I still don't know what I'm doing in life...)
