One Minmus Mint in waffle cone with L2H sauce, here it is. Can I have some xenonite cookies?

very WIP IXV Hail Mary extending its tether centrifuge for some reason the most detailed part of the model (currently) is the tether ropes, it's got modeled strands and stuff

I think I downloaded a unity asset decompiler* from somewhere and looked around the .asset files in <ksp root dir>/KSP_x64_Data, looking for texture files mentioned here: https://github.com/GER-Space/Kerbal-Konstructs/wiki/Builtin-Textures-for-KSP-1.8. in the sharedassetsn.assets files (n being any number) Was very tedious as I recall, but that was over a year ago. do note that most textures in the bundle cannot be used by Kerbal Konstructs, only the ones in the list. be sure to export the model as .mu with placeholder textures, then redirect to the internal textures using https://github.com/GER-Space/Kerbal-Konstructs/wiki/StaticModule:-AdvancedTextures. *https://github.com/SeriousCache/UABE for example

it's in Extras/SystemHeatFissionReactors/NearFutureElectrical on the SystemHeat repo, was last touched 3 years ago according to github but seems to work

Munyad, 32 Erbol 1971 - Completed full duration static fire of Belle-A to confirm readiness for future missions. Estimated reliability now 84%. Minmyad, 33 Erbol 1971 - Approved driving trip for Astronaut Group 1 graduates, also vibration testing some space equipment at the same time (Jeb Kerman is a god-awful driver). Felix the cat allowed onboard for his first time outdoors in weeks since he went to near-space. Came out surprisingly calm. (non-diegetic image)

Evyad, 29 Erbol 1971, all times UTC attempted launch of Space Geographer 1 (CAI name: SPY GLASS Mark 1 Flight Alpha, just a straight-up irl KH-1 Corona because I lack imagination). Launch "scrubbed due to loss of pressure in combustion chamber resulting in flameout", according to the Central Agency for Intelligence. Rolled back to VAB, investigation pending. 09:56 - SPY GLASS 1 rolled out to pad. Resuming countdown. 11:27:35 - RL79 ignition 11:27:44 - Contained failure of turbopump, small explosion on flameout. Rolling back for replacement and inspection of engine section. Publicly released imagery of the vehicle on the pad, from a WDR some days ago

quick Wiki read says the booster used was a Peacekeeper ICBM first stage, looks like it has a shell around it to be the same diameter as the ESM fairings

here's a Mars bar, you can step on it if you like. One ice cream

Right now this one has "acceptable" performance and no game-breaking incompatibilities, so this will probably be the only one I play for the foreseeable future. Timeline so far <placeholder for earlier launches I didn't document>

probably going to shelve this for the foreseeable future, my jnsq install is currently the better running one and there are myriad unknown incompatibilities in this install resulting is some stuff just not loading

I was working on a 1:100 Artemis 1 Orion, and just finished the Command Module when I had an idea I put the thing in a painted plastic tube and lit it with a flashlight. With a lot of post effects: will do the ESM tomorrow

'expedionary'

How fast was the plane going, and how fast was the shell? Might need a bigger vehicle though, or maybe a StuG-style casemate, tge recoil from firing sideways rocked this vehicle pretty bad

Vaguely related: On 4 Kraken 2004, the Space Program executed the first Integrated Hop Test of the second generation 4BC Ferry Launcher upper stage. It went... poorly. Liftoff was nominal, but it immediately began veering towards its nadir direction. the IFCC guidance system tried to bring it down safely, though this failed due to uncorrected imbalances in CoM during design, and unpredicted latency in the control system. The vehicle was uncrewed, no lives were lost and no injuries on the pad were recorded.

Started testing APHE-T shot from a recon vehicle I quite like how the vehicle itself turned out, might turn this into an armored launchpad rescue vehicle Round keeps ricocheting At least the fireworks are nice Cannon is the Starshot-8 firing with maxed out everything on the shell options, bloom explosion type, muzzle velocity boosted to 1500 m/s through KAL weirdness

Here's your CORN I want a cheese cream donut.

What's GEA?

<ksp root folder>/GameData all your mods (including stock parts/flags) should be in there

scatterer?

Did some basic konstructing around Orange Sands / Dessert Aerospace Flight Complex https://i.imgur.com/f47vtnd.png

Granted, but it affects you instead and the corruption destroys all trace of your existence I wish for a grilled cheese sandwich

Definitely looking forward to this
