  1. Thank you! I'll try to send it to Laythe someday - plenty of time to enjoy the view! Heheh, well at least that's true to the Kerbal spirit.
  2. Yeah, new Sim City is an abomination. Stick with the older ones. This made me think of Agent Smith's virus speech.
  3. Not yet. The darn things always spin out of control when I go high enough.
  4. I built an interplanetary spaceship that uhm... may or may not actually work.
  5. An interplanetary spaceship intended to carry Kerbals to Jool. I'm not sure how well it works, as I have sacrificed performance for aesthetics, but I guess I'll have to find out. Oh, and yes: it's very wobbly.
  6. I first went to Duna and then to Laythe. They were both one-way trips, but the Kerbal on Duna was eventually rescued.
  7. Algol, Aldebaran, Sirius, Alpha Centaurii, Pollux, VY Canis Majoris, Antares, and Polaris.
  8. A spoon. If there is no cutlery around at all, it's either dinosaur mode or starvation.
  9. Introduction: So you thought you’d have to assemble a spaceship capable of taking Kerbals to Jool and land them on Tylo in order to be cool? Sure, that is cool and the same goes for other common achievements such as circumnavigating Kerbin or building a Kerbal ISS, but I'll tell you about something else that's cool: flying a robotic aircraft to the airbase island - with ion engines! That's right! Even a seemingly trivial achievement can be super-cool. All it takes is that you waste enough time reaching your destination! Anyway, let's cut the small talk and get to business, shall we? Allow me to introduce you to the slowest aircraft ever flown, the Trollaris! Also known as the snail, the cash shredder, and the flying pitch drop. Takeoff: Beautiful, isn't she? On this picture, you can see her taking off after long wait for decent weather. That's much easier said than done, however, as the Trollaris suffers from a crippling inability to navigate any airspace windier than the average cave. Transit: After a successful takeoff, the Trollaris slowly climbs towards its final cruising altitude of 600 meters, where the slightly lower air resistance will allow it to travel at speeds up to 20 meters per second. Final approach: After a long, boring journey, the Trollaris has finally reached its destination and is now descending towards the runway. However, as dull as the flight was for mission control to watch, it was by no means uneventful. In fact, the flight almost had to be ended when it was discovered that the control tower was cheaply built and had to be replaced. Landing: At last, the Trollaris has landed safe and sound on the runway of Runway Island! Money well spent. Lives well sacrificed. The plane was perfectly lined up during the final approach, but I lost a ton of style points when I forgot to turn off the engine, causing the plane to skip over half of the runway before stopping instead of rolling smoothly along it. Thus, I got no cool landing pictures, but it was a very cool flight indeed!
  10. I love that semi-arid planet. I hope to see something like it when/if interstellar travel is implemented.
  11. I have yet to encounter him in-game, but I've heard of an interesting one named Enemy Kerman. I'm not sure if I'd let him inside my super-advanced spaceships, however.
  12. That the Ctrl+Z command is so unreliable in the VAB.
  13. If this is indeed the case, then it is the duty of Kerbalkind to do everything in its power to prevent it from hatching. Fortunately, though, scientists at the KSC have prepared a specialized probe capable of landing on Minmus, where it will perform the procedure necessary to keep Kerthulhu asleep.
  14. 10/10 Definitely familiar.
  15. "I see that you brought quite a lot of monopropellant for this mission. That's nice, because I'm starting to feel thirsty!"
  16. Saturn, definitely. It's so beautiful with its rings and the shadows they cast upon it. It has so many strange moons, as well!
  17. All I remember is that the crew was stranded in an eccentric orbit around Kerbin after leaving the Mun.
  18. Yes, it works just fine Though, I doubt that it could reach orbit as it seemed to have a hard time going anywhere higher than 600 meters. I suppose I could do some more testing on that, however.
  19. A picture of a solar powered airplane I made. Hauled its slow rear all the way to the second runway!
