  1. If you can stand his annoying particle physicist voice...
  2. Like most people my age, I\'m 20.
  3. This is the one thing we didn\'t want to happen Fixed
  4. This is the one thing we didn\'t want to happen
  5. I find your lack of testosterone disturbing
  6. Look at you two, hailing a false prophet. :hailprobe:
  7. Expect a visit from this RSPCA Investigator She doesn\'t look very pleased.
  8. I see no denial here...I say to icefire:
  9. 45,008.3 m/s Obtained by lowering the periapsis of my heliocentric orbit to 1 Gm.
  10. The Triangle series of heavy lifter rockets stem from the first rocket I made in 0.12x1 (with the intention of getting as close to the sun as possible). They have since been my only rockets flown in the x1 experimental. The Triangle series is centred around a common lower stage. The 6 LFEs and 3 LFE-Gs will burn for the first 3 and a half minutes (the larger LFEs extinguish about 20 seconds beforehand). Following that, the SRBs will inject the payload into a holding orbit (some designs require a small auxiliary burn for this). After that, the payload is free to go pretty much anywhere. The Triangle I is the simplest of the bunch and was my first model. It was flown within 2 Gm of the sun but was not capable of return to Kerbin. The Triangle II-ix is tailored towards Mun landing missions, with a small upper stage (awaiting stock landing legs - please add your legs of choice in the meantime). The Triangle III-ix was tailored towards the mission of escaping the Sun\'s gravity, a task it excelled at.
  11. So, my entry: I managed to get into an orbit around the sun, and waited until periapsis for my escape burn [image1]. This took 131 days, which even at x10k is a long wait. At the 1 (Kerbin) year mark, all three intrepid Kerbalnauts were in good spirits. For my burn I had available 4.4 LFTs and the non-vectoring LFE. With 0.6 tanks remaining, my AP marker had disappeared and I took that to mean I was hyperbolic[image 2]. I used the remaining fuel to retro burn into my final solar orbit image 3]. So I think I am allowed to award myself a level 2 result. Attached also is my entirely stock ship (which flies very well I have to admit - from experience with previous incarnations it doesn\'t even need any SAS).
  12. I\'m afraid I don\'t have a pic of the orbital map, but allow me to show you my periapsis: The apoapsis of this orbit was approx 3000m.
  13. Now listen up Kerbalnaughts! The plan is to launch a rocket into a solar escape trajectory. Now, I will need 3 volunteers: yes, I knew you\'d have the guts to step forward Jeb, and you even dragged Bill and Bob along by the ear too. Now understand this, you will never come back. So long and god-speed! So yeah, this is a challenge to escape the pull of Kerbol\'s gravity and drift amongst the stars. There are the following end states listed in order of least to most acceptable: 1) In a solar escape hyperbolic orbit. 2) returned from 1 into a heliocentric orbit. 3) returned from 2 into a Kerbin orbit. 4) returned from 3 to the surface of Kerbin.
  14. This explains it: Bill has already experienced a high speed crash and naturally is fearful of a repeat performance. Bob is very insistent that everything gets done properly and thus is the polar opposite of Jeb. Jeb turned to rockets to get over his mid-life crisis.
  15. You can\'t post after me, not with my cheese helmet!
  16. When 0.12 comes, do you plan to add gimballing to your radial thrusters?
  17. I suspect the rebels started the war with only the ubiquitous AKMs and FALs and old Carcanos and stuff - the dregs of previous wars in Africa. Most of their other weaponry has been looted from Govt. warehouses.
  18. I do have to admit that I like DoctorEvo\'s:

    Jokes

    2 Englishmen, 2 Scotsmen, 2 Welshmen, 2 Irishmen, 2 Germans and 2 Belgians are stranded on a desert island. After a year: The Welshmen have formed a choir The Irishmen are still on the beach fighting The Scotsmen have started a scotch distillery The Belgians have not agreed on a single thing The Germans are slowly constructing a millimetre perfect raft The Englishmen are still waiting to be formally introduced to each other
  20. I suspect that while the language of Kerbin favours the consonant letter 'K', it also favours other \'hard\' sounding letters such as 'T', 'Z', 'V', 'D', and 'G'. Maybe it even has something similar to the Welsh letter 'Ll'.
  21. (e? - ?)/(-?/5 + 1/5[??k=0{1/k!}]? = 5
  22. You probably thought this was a real link
  23. Now that isn\'t very descriptive. Is it a fur kilt, a fur skirt, a fur dress, fur plus-fours, fur shorts, fur suspenders?
  24. I hope you wear something over your legs. No one likes to see underwear with frilly hearts on them.
