Great, now my Kerbal V is redundant.

I find it humoprous that the LV-1 Engine has become known as the Ant Engine because of the description.

It does use 8 clustered engines at the bottom, but I'll be darned if it was easy to build.

You know you were sad when they cancelled funds for the space program before Kerballo 18. But what could you do? You still have three Kerbal Vs and several Kerbal IBs left! We have the solution! build a space station, launched by a Kerbal V! I'd love some feedback. Kerlington Model Rocket Catalog Entry (Kerbal IB): The Kerbal IB rocket is an ancestor of the Kerbal V rocket. Used for LKO Crew-Transport Kerlington Model Rocket Catalog Entry (Spacelab): The Kerbal V rocket is one of the largest rockets in the catalog. However, once project Kerballo was cancelled, KSP had a new idea to use one of the unused Kerbal V Launch Vehicles for. They would replace the third stage with a huge space-station, and lift it into orbit using the Kerballo 19 Launcher. Several Kerbal IB Launches would permit crewed habitation of the station. DOWNLOAD (Spaceport) I know what you're going to say. "The Spacelab is too small compared to the CSM" Well, I know. BUT. It is internally consistent. The original Kerbal V's third stage was a single 2.5 m stack, so it is in scale relative to the Kerbal V. Besides, what are you going to do with 10 Crewtanks and 1 Crew Module. Also Available: Kerbal V Kerballo-Style Mun Rocket. unfortunately the staging of the kerbal IB is not nearly as accurate as the Kerbal V is. I'd love some feedback. Updated OP, new version of download and new version of IMGUR album. Added pics of Spacelab Launch

I'm working on the Kerbal V Skylab now.

You Yaw, not Pitch. It's easy. You could even roll.

that's pretty cool.

Uhm, yes. But it is not considered space by the general public, or pretty much anyone who's not an astrophysicist, and really, is anyone ever that literal? Well? I guess so, but seriously.

Someof these were really good pics. I'd say you should integrate them in to your other post, as they do fill some storytelling niches, and they are examples pretty good photagraphy.

Almost all recent space missions are actually Earth missions. If a Moon-Mapping Satellite is a Moon Mission, the GPS Sats and plenty of other satellites revolve around Earth, literally and figuratively. Perhaps one exception to this is the Moon-Mapper LRO and the ISS which mostly is devoted to experiments revolving around zero-weight and long-distance space travel. ...And of course there is Curiosity rover, which is a recent mission to Mars, and all of the satellites and landers deployed there in the past 15 years. (there aren't that many truthfully) Even some missions that don't literally revolve around the Earth still do figuratively. The B612 Foundation's Sentinel Spacecraft may be in a heliocentric orbit looking for asteroids, but this is done to protect life on Earth. Then there's stuff WAY out there, like Cassini-Huygens, Voyager I and Voyager II, and the most recent New Horizons. (Well, Voyagers are not really recent) One could argue that even the Moon Missions are Earth missions because the Moon Orbits around the Earth, is made of the Earth, and the missions were done for politics on Earth more so than for science on the Moon (well, aside from Apollo 15-17). Then there's the fact that the LEO is barely even space, it's certainly not deep-space, that would be out past the Moon. (Even so I hear it is utterly amazing to EVA using a jetpack around Earth because when you let go there is nothing at all between you and the Earth, and you just don't get that feeling in Kerbal Space Program. Maybe you would if the skybox were black, I'll have to try that with UniverseReplacer mod.) What do you think of that? Yes, this is my point. (this also includes earth technologies built for space, not just Earth-based "space" missions)

Uploading a new improved, less wobbly version now! uploaded wobble-less version. Much easier to pilot, although you may not laugh out loud while piloting this like wayfare did. P.S. I'd like to see some of your other pics wayfare. I tweaked the staging a bit.

I'm suprised you managed to flip over the second stage but not the first. the second stage is much less wobbly and easier to fly.

The way it's supposed to work is you take the second stage to as high and shallow as you can, about 120 or so km. I had some problems with fuel running out at lower altidtudes. I'm asuprised you got it to work at 70 km. Also, I desgined it to use MechJeb, I never hand-piloted it during the launch sequence .

great! be sure to take some pics!

0/10 never seen you :/

Granted, but because ou grant the wish then de-shut it down, your brain gets corrupted and must reboot, causing memory loss of how to do KSP.

Darn, sorry it's the RCS on the lander. I'll fix it. should be fixed in 5-15 mins. Fixed! try it now.

Why re-do Gemini if you don't even have Mercury pod yet?

KSP Mod for orbiter? .Craft file to an orbiter ship? Or maybe a UI mod that adds map screen and for user-friendly interface?

Just wait until after I've updated it, it'll take about 30 mins to get everything done, and I could use your pics, I haven't the time to run a full Mun mission. I don't use orange tanks because 1) They cause Engine Overheating 2) The Kerbal X doesn't use orange tanks. 3) The Saturn had white tanks, not orange, so the silver tanks look more accurate. 4) I will use orange tanks if I ever do a Space Shuttle or Ares. (Although I'm not sure what to name the Ares rockets, the Ares V would have to change to Kerbal V and I already have that) Spacelab is now available! I also updated the payload. I'd love some feedback

Vigor is WAY too powerful, the original concept was for the Service Propulsion System rocket motor, which had 190 thrust. My idea was 240 Thrust, about equal to the poodle.

I'm glad to see I got the credit for the Vigor. I'll DL it right away.

Granted, but the way you do this is by money being created on the spot, ruining the economy for everyone including you.

5/10 I think I saw you once or tiwce.

NOW AVAILABLE: SPACELAB! I pride myself in not having Vegetable-based fuel lines. I prefer Cereal and Pancakes to disgusting asparagus. I think of it as a rival to the Munshine V, built in the same style as the Kerbal X and Kerbal 2 as far as rocket design goes. Not a single orange tank was used, and the Lander is just the stock two-stage lander with a few modifications. It was really fun to design, I tried to get it as accurate as possible, although you may have to do some early decoupling to get rid of a sliver of fuel in the second stage before circularization. The third stage only was used in circularization, and should not be used in ascent to orbital height. The third stage is designed to be piloted on a collision course with the Mun after MEM and CSM Separation, although it is slow to turn. I'd love to have some feedback. KERBALLO PROGRAM Kerbal V Kerlington Model Rocket Catalog entry: The Kerbal V rocket is one of the largest rockets in the catalog. Unlike it's predescesors, the Kerbal V rocket is in fact capable of reaching the surface of the Mun, and coming back to Kerbin. The way it accomplishes this, requires you to dock two spacecraft together in Mun orbit, as it operates on the Mun Shuttle and Mun Lander idea. You will fly a spacecraft to the Mun, undock it into two spacecraft, then fly one down to the Munar surface. Once there, you can do all sorts of sciency things. Then you will separate the lander section, and fly the ascent module back into a rendezvous orbit to the Command Module. The Command/Service Module will then bring the astronauts back to Kerbin. Download (Spaceport) UPDATED PAYLOAD Fixed RLA Stockalike Dependency. The RCS On the lander is now Linear RCS Ports from stock, the C7-style ones instead of the 45-Degree offset RCS from RLA. Less wobble! unfortunately it lags just slightly more until 1st stage jettison.
