  1. KSP2 will make my PS4 explode better than an ICBM
  2. Fun fact: There is a Bulgarian song up there, and I'm Bulgarian! Here it is:
  3. :hailprobe: :hailprobe: once again
  4. The Voyager 2 should have not a single song, but a playlist of several songs! (That's because it has a disc on it playing songs)
  5. Round 36: Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234 4 mit 7,5 cm panzerabwehrkanonen wagen > Sindirkriftfihrziig 234 4 mit 7,5 cm pinziribwihrkininin wiginraptor LXIX
  6. Do not Vostok (Russian: Восток, translated as "East") was a family of rockets derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka ICBM and was designed for the human spaceflight programme. This family of rockets launched the first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1) and the first crewed spacecraft (Vostok) in human history. It was a subset of the R-7 family of rockets. Vostok rocket family Vostok 8K72K rocket on display in Moscow at the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy Has use Carrier rocket Manufacturer RKK Energia Country of origin Soviet Union Size Mass 280,000–290,000 kg (620,000–640,000 lb) Stages 3 Capacity Payload to LEO Mass 4,725 kilograms (10,417 lb) Associated rockets Family R-7 Comparable Atlas Titan Launch history Status Retired Launch sites Baikonur: LC-1/5, 31/6 Plesetsk: LC-41/1, 43/3, 43/4 Total launches Vostok-L: 4 Vostok-K: 13 Vostok-2: 45 Vostok-2M: 94 Soyuz/Vostok: 2 Success(es) Vostok-L: 3 Vostok-K: 11 Vostok-2: 40 Vostok-2M: 92 Soyuz/Vostok: 2 Failure(s) Vostok-L: 1 Vostok-K: 2 Vostok-2: 5 Vostok-2M: 2 First flight 15 May 1960 (Vostok-L) Last flight 29 August 1991 (Vostok-2M) People or cargo transported Vostok Zenit Meteor First stage (Block B, V, G, D) Powered by 1 RD-107-8D74-1959 Maximum thrust 970.86 kN Burn time 118 seconds Propellant Kerosene/LOX Second stage (Block A) Powered by 1 RD-108-8D75-1959 Maximum thrust 912 kN Burn time 301 seconds Propellant RP-1/LOX Third stage (Block E) Powered by 1 RD-0109 Maximum thrust 54.5 kN Burn time 365 seconds Propellant Kerosene/LOX [edit on Wikidata] On March 18, 1980 a Vostok-2M rocket exploded on its launch pad at Plesetsk during a fueling operation, killing 48 people. An investigation into a similar – but avoided – accident revealed that the substitution of lead-based for tin-based solder in hydrogen peroxide filters allowed the breakdown of the H2O2, thus causing the resultant explosion.
  7. I have talked about the control bug a lot (down becomes up and up is still up and in other cases left is left and right is left) and it really annoys me. Could've saved 30 minutes from the yesterday Duna suffering... So, it has to do something with RCS and any atmosphere. Any ideas on how to fix it? Pls Blitworks, pls fix it
  8. Its not so efficient, but its a two staged so it sounds cool! Does the whole rocket have to be made of swivels or just the lander? And should there be just one swivel per stage, meaning the diameter doesn't matter?
  9. After a lot of pain, mental suffering and sweat, I MADE IT TO DUNA AND BACK!!!!!!!!!!111!1! A control bugged during the landing. Left command became left and... Right became left... Anyways, Jeb picked up some blueberries (Bob tasted them and realized they were just rocks...) Ascent didn't go so smooth... With the control bug I had to do some weird maneuvers to get the inclination. I didn't reach orbit before fuel ran out. So I used my RCS thrusters instead. Docking was smooth. The blueberries were moved to the command module so scientists on Kerbin could analise them. I used a direct Kerbin encounter without really waiting for another transfer window. Re-entry was a little too... HOT HOT AAH HOT HOT HOT. 6000m/s. Bill stated that the electronics almost melted. So, as I slowed down parachutes deployed successfully. TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!11!1!1!1 Oh, and just to mention I docked a science module to my station. Might undock it because it has too many parts that create lag...
  10. Do you have the science experiments storage thingy unlocked?
  11. I suppose it could be made, jus without the sharing mission thing.
  12. Back to reviving a... 9 year old thread?!? I start the gravity turn slowly, almost directly after liftoff. When the apoapsis reaches the target altitude, I turn equatorial and sometimes below 0°, until the first stage runs out of fuel. Then I burn prograde (without even using a maneuver node!) until I reach a circular orbit.
