Does anyone else have a problem with using the fuel tanks and rocket engines from this mod where they both wobble apart from each other, causing the rocket to fall to bits on the launchpad? it's seriously putting me off using the pieces right now.

As you might be aware, Planetary Resources (http://www.planetaryresources.com/) Plan on building a series of probes with the aim to go into the Asteroid Belt to mine resources, with the aim to get humanity back into space, doing what Science Fiction in the 1950's and 1960's thought that we'd be doing by now. With that in mind, i'm annoucing an unofficial design challege. More info about Planetary Resources: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/33389-Planetary-Resources-Bringing-the-stars-to-you What is required? This part: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/33713-20-Asteroids-!!!! What are the categories? 1: Unmanned Orbiter 2: Sample Return Mission 3: Crewed Lander 4: Asteroid Return Mission Any restrictions? One entry per category. Good luck

Hello there. I'm one of a group of 400 people chosen to raise awareness of Planetary Resources goals, which in the long term are to mine asteroids for materials to provide resources for the human exploration of space. In the short term however, they are seeking $1,000,000 on Kickstarter in order to launch a space telescope that you can use to explore the universe, or donate your telescope time to MIT, or even your local school.

Occasionally, an idea strikes, and sometimes...things get built. I've never gotten to the mun, or the mars like planet, but if anyone has any kind of orbital contstruction stuff around there, it might do well there, it's a work in progress.

Lone Kerbal! My one nemesis, you have returned!

Added the .craft file to the main post.

I have a rocket with a payload that i want it to launch when i get into orbit. if i move the clamp into the first stage section, it still releases the payload when i activate my engines, what do i do?

Step right up folks, meet the aircraft which humbled the mighty Jeb*, are you brave enough to try it?** It currently holds the world record for the fastest commute from New Kerbal City to our facilities, don't be scared, try it today! *Jeb refuses to fly this thing, mainly because it doesn't fly too well, he was later found in a padded cell. **Waivers must be signed and stamped in triplicate before boarding. Craft file available, have fun. (I almost forgot, uses the crew pods mod)

Well, it seems i can't use them as an aircraft tail, even with rotating them correctly they don't want to attach.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but when i use tail connectors, they don't seem to want to work for me as a tail, they do work very well as long nose cones though, what's up with that?

Ah, thanks a lot. How do i prevent the cargo's engines from igniting at the same time as all the other engines?

Are there any mods out there that add the cockpits as parts i can put on my creations? I want to create something like the X-15 which was dropped from a bomber.

How do put things inside of it? i want to use a decoupler to drop things out of it, but the cargobay wont allow me to attach things to the decoupler.

Thanks for this, it will be a lot of help to my rockets.

It wasn't my day to land on the Mun today:

You know, i think the space kraken nests in my space centre.

Is part of my problem that i'm using the mechjeb pods in place of cockpits?

Yup, it's me again. When placing wings on an aircraft, for example delta wings, do i put one on each side, or can i make longer wings to add more lift? Because no matter how i design my aircraft, they always pitch forwards in flight.

Nice find, if i'm ever able to break free of Kerbin orbit, i shall try to land there.

Funny you should mention that, there's large titanium deposits up there.

I also think China will be next, ESA could potentially go, at least in probe form via Arianne.

Ahhh. thanks alot.

It happens on all my aircraft, no matter how i build them.

If i press the launch button to activate my engines, the payload, which is a seperate stage falls off my aircraft, and if i move the payload to the same stage as the main aircraft, it doesn't release.

Well, yeah i would in a way. Because otherwise the entire reason for my aircraft even being an aicraft makes the runway into an adventure playground. * *note to self...
