Every moon save Minmus, Bop, and Gilly is like that.

Why aren't we using nuclear thermal rockets?
yoyo478 replied to Temstar's topic in Science & Spaceflight
You understand what nuclear engines actually produce, right? Even if it produced the energy, our atmosphere + our magnetic field prevent the radiation from doing any damage. And he knows they've been invented, he's asking why we aren't using them right now, even if we have them. -
My first stab at some writing. I suppose one might ask how my life turned around. One day, a measly store clerk. But then I heard of the KSP. The wonders rockets, bases on places further away than anyone could imagine. I had to join, right? This is my tale, the story of Fredwick Kerman. After months of vigorous training, my supervisors began to watch me. I didn’t see it at first, but slowly my assignments and workouts got tougher and tougher, and more and more quit. By the end of it, only nine were left. We were assigned different tasks; I was to be part of B group, and fly a cargo ship to Minmus Base Alpha. I was happy to get an assignment, and everyone B group was too. Dangel and Kerwich, they called themselves. It turned out our hope was to be lost. In the forty years since the dawn of the KSP, getting to Minmus had become routine. It was still exciting, and we were all happy. Our real job was unloading and staying at the base as EVA officials. Minmus Base Alpha turned out to be a relaxing place. EVAs in the low gravity were easy and fun, so we all were happy. After three months, we got the message to go to Space Station Omega, and report for a new mission. Details were scarce. We didn’t know it, but this would be the beginning of our greatest journey yet. I plan to update this, as my real plan is nowhere near what this is

I kept making designs, got lazy, then began my sundiving campaign. And Bill made it back with a little trust, but Jeb and Bob are still stranded.

That would be pretty amazing.

There can only be one location for the offworld Munolith

What I want to know is if there is a gigantic mountain on Laythe, or at least an unusual one. -

You're confusing Io with Europa. The Chinese went to Europa. THERE IS LIFE ON EUROPA. I REPEAT. THERE IS LIFE ON EUROPA. -

I'm now going to launch a space program to sat map Laythe, and anyone who pulls it off should post it. -
Post a screenshot of your ship on the launchpad. Otherwise we'll all think you don't know what ya doing.

However, the Monolith only appeared after Europa thawed. Vall does have some weird stuff, however. -

It's a risk all Kerbals must make. -

Lucifer is a mini sun, and Europa orbits pretty far away. -
When you get to about ten thousand meters, turn 90 degrees, and watch your apoapsis. When it gets to about 100000, coast to it. When you arrive, fire your engines until the you have a realitivly circular orbit. now, wait until the Mun rises over the horizon, and fire your engines. Watch your map until you enter the Mun's gravity. Enter the gravity and coast to the periapsis. Then, perform a retroburn and create an orbit. Keep burning until you are on a course to collide. Good luck!

Anyone ever read 2061: Odyssey Three? If not, spoilers, I guess. After Jupiter is transformed into the mini-sun Lucifer, Europa, the frozen world, changes. Instead of ice, it becomes water with spots of land, like islands. The Europans begin to reach towards intelligence, and a Monolith is placed there to help them. Now, think. Atmosphere. Water. Islands. Plot courses for Laythe!
-
2000m is nothing, can you post a screenshot of the ship? (The Mun is 11 MILLION meters away)
-
Holy crap. That is awesome. Do you know if there are more arches?
-
I have Bill stationed there with Bob and Jeb back at the ship. The rover is located under the arch, with Bill chilling out on top.
-
So, as I orbited the Mun I saw a weird looking crater. I only noticed after my ship was set to land on it. As I landed, I noticed a weird little thing. I had found a Mun Arch! Unfortunately, my ship crash-landed, but my rover pod was unharmed. So after a little work, I got the pod on the road. Attached are a few pics. (I'm beginning a program to set up a base there, and rescue my stranded comrades.)

If I remember correctly, Squad said they wanted analogs of the planets in our Solar System, then create modding tools to let others make their own planets. How they will do this is up for grabs, but it seems they are following a definite pattern.
-
Eve sorta reaches Venus, but it was a bit jarring to have the most deadly planet save the gas giants be purple. And Triton is similar to Pluto, but Miranda would be hilarious. (Astronomy Fun Fact: For those who don't know, Miranda is a moon that has been repeatedly destroyed and pulled back together. Because of this, it has several distinct and unique features. Mimas appears to have almost been destroyed in this way due to a gigantic crater on it's surface.)
-
Gliese would mean intersteller travel. Christ, Sedna. 11,440 years for an orbit.
-
What planets would you like to see in future updates? My personal one that I'd like is a Pluto analogue that is EXTREMELY far out that would require the best kerbal scientists to get out there. And maybe a Saturn one, cause it would look pwetty.
-
Just saying, from the distance between Kerbin and Jool, that conversation would take 30 mins between sentences.
-
My challenge? Use the gravity from one planet to get to another. Post pictures or videos, but pictures need: 1. Showing the orbit entering the planet 2. Showing the orbit leaving the planet. 3. Show the new planet.

Jeb does not approve.
