In my copy of KSP, the VAB screen goes beyond the borders of my television set on all four sides, (have not checked any other screens yet) because of this, i am not able to see the various tabs to use them. is there any way to Re-Size my screen? (adjust the borders) Any and all help will be much appreciated, thank you very much in advance for any assistance.

Jupiter Two, this is Alpha Control, you are GO for Orbit!

no picture=no D/L!

This is a great idea! these will be perfect for Jeb's Klockheed K-104 Starfighter! (dude, think about it, an aircraft that is just a gigantic jet engine with just enough wings/control surfaces to keep it (barely) controllable? that has jeb written all over it!

found this, it tells exactly what mach number is and how to calculate it along with the required maths. it might help, if anyone feels like double checking their figures for an entry for this contest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

Arrowstar: just had an idea, use it or tell me to get lost, your choice. idea: what about making, or talking to someone who knows how to make, an instructional "how to" video covering the features of this tool? Coughscotmanleycough?

Dude! you just built a Focke-Wulf Treibflugel! Way to Go! info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Triebfl%C3%BCgel the second one reminds me of an SU-47 Berkut info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-47 stick some radial intakes on it and you and you might get some more speed out of it.

Have you considered creating a set of steerable ducted fans (like the goodyear blimps have) steerable through the fore and aft axis from pointing full forward to pointing vertical to pointing full reverse, so that the rockets can be saved for suborbital hops or launching into orbit? just a thought for saving fuel.

in RL, there are three types of airships: nonrigid airships (aka blimps): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blimp semirigid airships: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-rigid_airship and rigid airships (aka zeppelins): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_airship just some info for the interested.

has anybody tried building the most famous flying saucer of all time? linky to awesome vid:

request you take some pix in daylight pls, I can't see a thing.

would anyone be interested in trying their hand at making THIS: of course, if you did make it, Jeb would probably go catatonic with awe/joy/astonishment, and then never leave the cockpit for the rest of his life.

Train Kimulator 2014: drive hypersonic, rocket powered space trains all over, making pickups and deliveries ala galaxy express anime. Kortal 1/2: escape from the clutches of an insane mechjeb unit with your only assistance being...wait for it...ANOTHER INSANE MECHJEB UNIT!

Check this one out: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/77471-SR-71-White-Bird?highlight=white+bird not only is it an sr-71, but it is also an ssto spaceplane with cargo bay and docking port! KEWL!

Just a thought, but it MAY be possible that with deadly reentry and/or FAR you might get excessive heating on the tip of that nosecone during reentry. generally, you want a blunt nose for hypersonic speeds to spread out the aerodynamic and heat loads. other than that, TOTALLY KEWL SSTO,DUDE!

IIRC, "KSP Interstellar" mod has a plasma-electric engine somewhere in the tech tree that is similar to the VASIMIR engine. Direct quote from ksp interstellar thread "[ultra-High Energy Physics] Plasma Thruster: Magnetoplasdynamic ----> Quantum Vacuum Plasma Thruster"

Jeb; "Computer, this is Captain Jebediah N. Kerman, Commanding Officer: Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A." Bill:"Computer, this is Chief Engineer William F. Kerman: Destruct sequence 2, code 1-1 A-2B." Bob:"Computer, this is Science Officer Robert J. Kerman: Destruct sequence 3, code 1 B-2B-3." Computer:""Destruct sequence completed and engaged. Awaiting final code for one-minute countdown." Jeb: "Computer, this is Captain Jebediah N. Kerman, Commanding Officer:"Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero." Posted this just for laughs, this thread brings back memories of star trek TOS marathons; great show for the era, too bad it was cancelled. O.K. end of post, time to get back on subject.

.5 or maybe .25 g would probably be enough, remember, you don't need the full force of gravity, all you need is enough g-force to keep bone and muscle decay from becoming a health issue.

sure, no prob.

Hodo, where did you get the rolls royce pegasus engine (harrier jump jet engine)?
