    Thank you, I really appreciate it! I'm having tons of fun making this, so I don't plan to stop anytime soon. There's a lot more I have planned that I'm really excited to show ya'll!

    I sent Jeb and Bill into orbit on the first flight of the Leo spacecraft, along with some tasty corned beef sandwiches

    I think it would be an amazing idea - even if nobody reads it (which is quite unlikely), you'll at least have a place where you have documented your own designs and thought process, like a snapshot in time for you to look back on. I think a really in-depth and detailed report would be very interesting to read, especially how you designed your rockets based off of historical rocket designs. Personally, I think there's a lack of (in-depth) mission reports, so this would be great. If you end up posting it, I'll be looking forward to reading it.

    My bad, it's not actually an option with KSP, since I don't it has apple silicon support - it's native intel, so it only runs with rosetta and you don't have the option to change that. Try opening KSP using the launcher, I remember getting startup issues with KSP the first time I downloaded. I ran it through the launcher, and then KSP magically worked - you just need to open it with the launcher once, and you should be able to just open the app regularly.

    I'm playing KSP on the M1 chip, and it runs perfectly. Just make sure to go to the 'Get Info' menu (or press Command+I with the app selected) and tick the checkbox 'open with Rosetta".

    What are warning points exactly, and what do they do?
  8. Misguided Kerbal
    I've been using it in my current save fine, with no issues.
  9. Misguided Kerbal
    I wouldn't know haha - when I was playing my previous stock save, I never really frequented Minmus, I just skipped over it after going there once or twice. I just prefer the Mun better.
  10. Misguided Kerbal
    Looking back at what I did, I think I forgot to account for the Minmus transfer windows. I was launching at odd times, that's probably what screwed the transfers and astrogator up. Yeah, Pioneer-2 did get to Minmus, but it was about 100 m/s short of the braking burn. With the SRBs stuck on, I got the boost I needed for Pioneer-3. That's probably a smart idea, I'll keep that in mind for the future. Never heard of it before, I'll go check it out! Although the mod list isn't up to date, I've been adding mods. I should probably get around to updating it actually.
  11. Misguided Kerbal
    I know of a few mods that could help, but it might be a bit of a stretch. Tarsier Space Technologies has a great ChemCam: As far as I know of, there are only two mods that have airbags/floats/anything like that. USI survivability pack has some nice floats and airbags - albeit, they are a bit dated, but they all work fine. It's now packaged in USI Exploration pack, but you can remove the other parts easily enough. Comfortable landing is mostly for capsules and the likes, but it has a standalone airbag part that might be useful. Happy Roving!

    No promises, but if I can work out the kinks, then I'll definitely be using it.
  13. Misguided Kerbal
    I sent a tiny little probe around the Mun: And another one to Minmus too, on the augmented version of the same launcher: Also, I did a thing: It actually flew surprisingly well (with SAS on, at least.) I'll definitely use this in the future.
  14. Misguided Kerbal
    Green cheese! I didn't think of that, because I'm dumb The Pioneer satellites are pretty much engineering testbeds, so there's not much (I literally just stuck a magnetometer and a thermometer on it, and only because it looked cool). In the future, I'll send dedicated satellites (I have SCANSAT installed), but for now I just stuck them into equatorial orbits because they looked cool. They might be useful as relays for future missions. BARIS is a cruel mistress. Luckily, I did check back up on the Astronaut Corps and they're all okay.

    Getting back into the rhythm of things! Chapter 7 "Shoot for the Moon - even if you miss it, you will land among the stars." - Unknown
  16. Misguided Kerbal
    Wait, how'd you fit 3 kerbals into the Mk1 lander can?
  17. Misguided Kerbal
    I would guess that you would probably have a few chemically powered dedicated OMS engines, or perhaps small space tugs to maneuver the Orion for precise maneuvers.

    Since I finally got KVV working (albeit with a few bugs), I decided to make a nice little graphic about the evolution of one of my rocket families just for fun. Of course, that led me down a long rabbit hole of working with GIMP and reading tutorials and... designing an (intentional) missile. I spent way long than I thought I would, but I thought it looked quite nice: Unfortunately, I forgot to save it so I never had the chance to actually fly the missile. But I'm sure I'll 'accidentally' simulate it with one of my regular launches someday

    Sorry for the long wait - I had everything ready but I just didn't have time to write this, since I was getting into a few other commitments. Chapter 6 "I see Earth! It is so beautiful!" - Yuri Gagarin

    All my attempts to fly SSTOs end up in crashes, so I think I count. @Maria Sirona?
  21. Misguided Kerbal
    Great to see you back on the forums!
  22. Misguided Kerbal
    Instead of turning up, I think he took a wrong turn @Autochrome?
  23. Misguided Kerbal
    Definitely! I do have a bad habit of designing a singular launcher (at least, one for each size class). I switch them out if they get old, but there's not much variety. I'll try my best to mix it up this save. I'll try my best, though I did mostly do some extra storytelling for this one since it's an important mission. I do enjoy writing storytelling parts, but it does get a bit exhausting (and repetitive, I feel. You can only have the same launch sequence so many times.) I do think it adds a lot of neat perspective for sure, so I'll try my best to incorporate some more.
  24. Misguided Kerbal
    Continuing my JNSQ playthrough, I've finally launched the first Kerbal into orbit. Since it's an important mission, that means... Cue the dramatic angle screenshot spam! (for sanity's sake, I'll stuff it into a spoiler.)

    This one is a short one, and for once I don't actually have that much commentary. Here we go! Chapter 5 "Zero G and I feel fine!" - John Glenn
