Wyrm

It is when your finger gets tired from pressing pitch up as high as the number of Kerbals sent to their doom. Tired of that. Joystick.

I had a cockpit separation system for my first flight, but nothing as cool as this. Needed it, too. I didn\'t land my first plane until a few tries. (And just today I landed a spaceplane after launch abort, and the plane survived.) I decided to bite the bullet and get me a joystick. Controlling a plane with a keyboard is for the birds.

Oh, no. The rockets worked okay, because I was reballancing pretty much everything (the rockets were the only thing I needed MATH for, see). I ended up creating this mock Soyuz booster that, after liberal amounts of struts and giving the finger to the ASAS I installed and flying by the seat of my pants for the launch phase, finally started working right. It\'s just... well... I just sort of shrugged my shoulders and went back to vanilla stock after doing all that work after that. Most of my issues with rockets is steering the darn things.

Cool beans! And yes, I did notice that dead weight ain\'t so dead. A few times launching spacecraft, I got a mysterious tumble that had no apparent source. I think it may be connected with debris tumbling, because every time it happened, I noticed that sometime earlier in the flight, a part broke but never actually separated from the spacecraft. This might be reporting bias, though.

...I think this includes our intrepid Kerbonauts. ;DAnyway, the only place I used maths in connection to KSP was to reballance the thrusts/fuel consumtion on the rockets for more realistic specific impulse. Then I threw out that set and went back to stock. =P

Apollo used a type of orbit called a trans lunar injection. It\'s not really a Hohmann, but almost one in terms of how you set it up, and the reason why it takes only three days is because the moon snatches it out of its ellipse a sizable angle before its apogee. This is where such an orbit would normally spend much of its time but for the moon. I\'m not at all surprised that it lopped off 6-7 days from the trip — the capsule would spend much of that time almost loitering.

Your problem is that the \'name\' field contains an underscore. That ain\'t allowed. Eliminate it, and it\'ll probably work.

Awesome! Makes the ASAS look a little bit snazzier. Still a piece of Kerbal junk, though.

Just a note here: The DDL\'s that each plug-in comes with seem to work on KSP on MacOS X (Intel), even if it was compiled in Windows. (So far.) So fellow mac-heads need not feel left out of the plug-in stuff. Go nuts!
