It's the little things in KSP that put a smile on my face

Ancient Daydreams; a history of Kerbal-kinds past, present, and future - By Samford Kerman When I was a young Kerbal I remember a story about how my grandmother had once jumped from a tall tree in her youth trying to reach The Mun, she didn't make it obviously but that hadn't stopped my father from trying the stunt himself, surely he would jump higher and he would be the first one to walk on The Mun. He did jump higher than his mother but to his annoyance all he got was a harder fall. I would also attempt this feat the very next day, I climbed the highest possible branch on a monster tree and jumped, I was lucky the tree had so many long branches or I may not be writing this now. I thought to myself; If I couldn't jump to The Mun then how could anyone?" Two years later I watched on live TV as the first Kerbal flopped onto our Moon's surface. Kerbal-kind has accomplished many impressive feats as of late, many may find it hard to keep up with the rapid progression of our technology, in particular our space and aviation programs, as well as our ability to keep participants alive. I'm Samford Kerman and in this piece I will be taking a journey though history to see how Kerbals evolved and grew to where we are in the modern day, from the dirt to the stars, this is the history of the Kerbals; Evolution and Biology; History and Discovery's; (NOTE: This is a heavy WIP with lots of possible mistakes. More is to come but work is slow)

Have we seen Jeb in any of the KSP 2 footage?
Minmus Taster replied to Ryaja's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
He's been mentioned a lot and I'm pretty sure we've already seen some of the other "big 5" scattered about footage, so He's in there for sure (and it would be heresy if he wasn't). -
Thought this was clickbait at first lmao, now get Everyday Astronaut up there

What is the most HORRIBLE way one of your kerbals died
Minmus Taster replied to 322997am's topic in KSP1 Discussion
I once went through a long and nasty Minmus mission to get a minimal (get it) amount of science because I didn't want to go to Duna or Gilly yet, I reverted to saves at several points and after over an hour I was finally on my way home, that was when I realized my capsule was coming down a little too fast. So I got Valentina out, got her to take the science which I had spent an hour collecting, and jumped. and then I realized to I hadn't given her a parachute at launch. The capsule was fine by the way, never been so angry at myself in KSP before, pretty sure that was the end of that save XD -
First confirmed interstellar meteor!
Minmus Taster replied to Minmus Taster's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I think the plan is to run over the ocean in a pattern like using a sonar for shipwrecks expect it's something that can see small fragments magnetic signatures. -

This rocket man, I'm not even gonna try holding it back. I hate that flying coffin so much. -
It's Official! CNEOS 2014-01-08 is the first known interstellar meteor! What's more is that the Galileo Project is funding a mission to try and raise fragments of the meteor.

The Upcoming Movies (and Movie Trailers) MegaThread!
Minmus Taster replied to StrandedonEarth's topic in The Lounge
Posted about this film in the right thread for In terms of visuals it looks really pretty, not quite sure about the plot though, can't be much more flat than the first one in that respect since you really can't get that generic, but with all the lousy CGI currently circulating this should be a welcome change. -
So a sandwich from Subway is literally just a hamburger, but longer, I don't know why this messes with me so much but it does.

Interstellar shield or aerobraking shield?
Minmus Taster replied to GoldForest's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
That would make sense, except if you look at it from a different angle its clearly a massive heatshield: Could be to protect the craft from dust but it does seem a little small to do that and then there's the issue of turning the thing around for a slowdown burn, but it could be to just protect the spaceplanes since they'd need to remain in perfect shape to enter an atmosphere, spaceplane heatshields weren't really a thing in the first game but some of the parts for such vehicles were seen to have more of a black and tiled look in the images shown: *NOTE: not all the airplane parts are shown to have heatshields but they might just not be as spaceworthy as the larger cockpits *NOTE 2: Ok so some other stuff shows the larger pods without shields but this could still just be the painting covering it up -
Do the clouds in KSP2 look anything like this
Minmus Taster replied to Anth's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
It's literally a mod, probably an unplayable one to all things considered, KSP2 isn't even out yet, play it for a bit when it's out and then see how you feel. -
Bad science in fiction Hall of Shame
Minmus Taster replied to peadar1987's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I'm sure there are many snacks onboard, also burning at 8G's from Earth to Jupiter in a week or two is pretty Kerbal to me. -
Fireflies
Minmus Taster replied to Kerbalsaurus's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Suggestions & Development Discussion
Come on dude it's a good reference, it lit up my world as I fell asleep It could be a cool idea for alien life on Laythe or Lapat, that's what I'd like to make myself believe. -
It was on the discussion page for Feature video 4, nate confirmed not all the planets were in Debdeb, but I can't find the page for some reason It's probable there are more in Debdeb that they have shown (Like Rask & Rusk which certainly give a Debdeb vibe) but not all, I'd assume many are in that system since they're using that one much more in marketing material.

Kerbal Space Program 2 Release into Early Access Feb 24th
Minmus Taster replied to Intercept Games's topic in 2022
I'd assume there would be at least one more system down the line, two is awesome but it feels like the full potential of expanding the universe of the game could be higher. -
It's a pretend planet that I made up the other day, do you like my photoshop?
