Wow, I'm surprised that the lander isn't sliding down the hill. Very nice design.

In primary school, when we used the computers we were all assigned random 4-digit passwords. The first one I received was szpw, and I began using that as my username for many things. I liked the sound of it, and the fact that it was never taken. When it is though, I use szpw7.

That looks awesome, I'll probably get it sometime in the next few days. I noticed that it has some rather negative reviews, but I still plan to purchase it anyways. Looks fun.

Hello, My next destination for a interplanetary mission is Gilly, but I noticed the terrain there is rather hilly and I don't want to land on a steep cliff. I don't want to go through the trouble of finding a landing site that is flat and being precise, so I'm looking for a way to adapt my lander so that it can roll down a hill to a flatter area if it were to land on a hill (Something like the airbags on one of the real-life Mars missions.) How have the people here coped with landing on hilly terrain?

I voted Jeb because he seems to be the most iconic figure in the game-many would look up to him because of his lack of fear and his unwavering confidence in the face of certain death.

Here are a few things I do on my missions to make them more interesting. -Write a log of the flight with detailed information on what is happening and what I do. -Mine for Kethane or Zoxygene. -Search for easter eggs -Map the Object using ISA MapSat -If I see something and I have leftover fuel, I sometimes fly to things I see if they are close.

I build the lander\orbiter or whatever the main thing is, then attach this massive launcher to the bottom. I use the same launcher for everything. It's 4 large tanks tall, and has 3 4 tank stacks radially attached.

Good to see you back!

It's a great engine for interplanetary transfers because of it's low fuel consumption. It does take a while though, and my interplanetary spacecraft use normal liquid fuel engines. It has proven capable of both Duna and Eve, but I still want to implement a nuclear engine in my Jool mission.

I'd say something really dramatic like "Today mankind has made a giant leap into the future"

This is a neat idea, and there isn't a lot of sites like that on the Internet. I'm definitly interested in this.

Nice to see more people doing Orbiter! Very fun simulator once you learn it.

Don't worry, you'll get it soon. Tauge had a pretty good guide on how to do it, but I find the hardest part is building the right craft for the job. It took me almost a month to get into a lunar orbit. Most engines can perform the lunar transfer, but I'd specifically recommend the smaller engines (not the lander ones, but the original 2 engines.) For landing a usual capsule-small tank-lander engine with 4 landing struts normally works fine with me.

Very neat, I plan to give this a try tommorow

I usually use random names for my test rockets, but for tested, working designs that have reached their final version I use something like Legacy, New Frontiers (my personal favourite) or some other dramatic names. After that I normally save variations of the rocket as New Frontiers I, II, II etc.
