The Positive Forum Movement! Do it and you're cool! As well as a really awesome and kind person.

Want a cool badge showing all the places you've gone and what you did there, like this?

Go to kerbaltek.com/ribbons to show off your accomplishments! Not a sponsorship. I just think it's cool.

You may see that the only place kerbals have died at my hands (the black stripe) is Kerbin. To be fair, I have killed lots of kerbals, but never without reverting the flight. The few exceptions to this are when A. Jeb and Val died in my first career save before I knew you could revert flights, and B. when Jeb burned up on reentry in a save I was challenging myself in by not using quicksaves or flight reverts.

Mission Reports:

It's The Wrong Red Moon! (TOTM January 2024)

What if Earth's history happened in the KSP universe? How America beat the USSR to the Mun- but not to Minmus!

Journey of the Avocado: A Jool 5

My Jool 5 (visiting all 5 of Jool's moons in a single mission) detailed here! Experience my uncertainty as I tackled even going to Jool itself for the very first time! (Plus, Interstellar references and avocado-theme named spacecraft)

The Dres Billboard: A Dres Appreciation Mission

My first interplanetary mission, as well as a mission to show some love for Dres, my favorite planet! (Minmus is my favorite moon)

The Brain Freeze: A Minmus Ice Cream Shop

A combination of The Brain Freeze, a Minmus surface base, and the voyage of VICCTER, an Elcano rover currently in progress of its circumnavigation of the minty moon.

Recreate the Psyche Mission

A challenge to recreate the Psyche mission, which will explore the largest known metallic asteroid, 16 Psyche. It is currently on its way to a gravity assist from Mars. You should try it! I made my own badges for it in Paint 3D. Someday, I will do this mission myself. Someday.

On here I have ships from Wrong Red Moon (WoRM) and anything else I see fit for the general public.

Coming Soon, to a Forum Thread near you:

Disclaimer: Anything advertised here is indefinitely on hold. I moved recently, so my PC that can run KSP is in storage.

CERES II (Mission Report)

After installing a *few* mods, I figured I could rebuild the original CERES better than ever before. CERES is a long-term spacecraft designed to visit Dres.

Kopper Squadron (A KSP Story)

Test pilot Andrew Kerman is the best VTOL pilot in the world... and far too humble to admit it. But when a top-secret aircraft-building company recruits him to fly an experimental new jet, his life changes forever. 

"Founded by an 18th-century pirate, [REDACTED], the [REDACTED] Corporation built top-of-the-line warships until the Great Depression. Our ships, purchased chiefly by pirates, were the fastest. The strongest. The first ironclads, the first steamers. Over time, though, we turned from operating underground to working with the government. During World War I, we built Q-ships, ships that appeared as junky cargo freighters to lure U-boats into attacking. The difference between everyone else's Q-ships and ours was that ours were not simply a converted junky cargo freighter. They were a battleship. A battleship with the skin of a piece of junk. No one was allowed to know about our Q-ships. The Q-ships you hear about were a cover for ours. The money we made from sinking U-boats in secret kept the company afloat through the Great Depression. During that time, we turned to making planes. We had two decades to perfect our planes before World War II. We were ready. More ready than Germany, even. After that point, our place in the industry was secured. During the Cold War we built the fastest jets, the highest flying jets, the most maneuverable jets. You've heard of Lockheed's Special Projects Division, Skunk Works? They were a branch of the company that worked with us. We helped them design cutting-edge planes for the US Military. We still do. The best planes have roots in our technology or design philosophy. But nothing beats our planes."

Me playing KSP everyday and wondering why it keeps crashing:

Error 404 Reputation Not Found

My profile picture is now a more compact version of my logo and fits better in a square. It's not a png this time due to the constraints of my image editing software. I wish I could combine this with the full logo.

Me after every mission realizing I forgot something crucial:

Lol  

Currently working on a low-complexity Jool 5 for my science save.

Not low-mass, Bradley Whistance style.

Not low-cost, also Bradly Whistance style.

Not overkill, Stratenblitz style.

Not a crazy big SSTO, Matt Lowne style.

Just- simple. The lander is simple, the mothership doesn't have kraken-bait gravity rings, a basic nuclear tug...

It's still gonna be hard, but I have a goal to get a Jool 5 done by the end of the year and I now have less than a month.

Whee! My profile picture is at long last a logo for my company!

Here's my newest mission on WoRM:

It's that little "surprise" from the Americans I mentioned... 

Good thing I've started early, though I have yet to figure out what the "argument of periapsis" means. I don't think it's urgent, for "get into x orbit" contracts, matching inclination and then a Hohmann transfer works great. See the original comic here.

Special thanks to Randall Munroe for first telling me of KSP, he has started on a wonderful path of joy, satisfaction, and frustration. Thanks to Matt Lowne as well, for actually showing me what the game is and getting me excited for it.

I noticed in your signature that you pointed out how your username has 3 Ls in it and that this is an unfortunate mistake. Were you aware there is a name change thread?

Hope this helps.
