Well then post it so we can all give it a go.

But can you build the same thing under the TMI stage I posted with Nova\'s lander on top?

Nova and I have used Silisko Edition and Probodobodyne thus far. If you can\'t launch this sucker into orbit with one stage (I\'m not sure I can), just build the orbit-assist stage and leave the launch stage to someone else.

No, he\'s saying his lander has an engine to land with, but if (when) the engine breaks off, he has a return stage that\'s pure RCS.

Wow. Take the bottom decoupler off that thing and it\'ll actually take off! It\'s unwieldy as hell, but it flies. Now if only someone would design a couple stages to boost this baby into Kerbin orbit, we can test the munar lander.

American. Born in Hawaii, grew up in Washington, now live in Colorado.

That lander looks return-capable, so the next stage would be the TMI stage, yes? Easy peasy; I\'ll take it. Plenty of fuel to push the craft out to Munar distance and decelerate into Munar orbit. As a bonus, the central fuel tank will also act as an orbital communications relay once the lander detaches for descent.

Wow. I think I\'ve only launched like, three rockets since I got SWtOR. It\'s that good. I mean yes, it\'s just SW-flavored WoW, but IT\'S SW-FLAVORED! And the voice-acting, which I thought was just a cheesy ploy to be different, really is different. It engages you in the storyline so every little side quest matters. This thing totally rocks. I know the shiny will wear off in a few weeks, though, and I\'ll be back here.

I can\'t get drop tanks to work. Looks like none of the liquid fuel tanks are enabled for side-mounting in this pack.

The more I look at this pic, the more I just want some structural packs that will allow me to cluster 20 regular LFEs and 8 verniers in a similar arrangement. THE POWER!

Silly me. I assumed that was another link to the website.

I could be proven wrong though. Here\'s an animation on the concept. http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-12/video-spacexs-future-rocket-system-will-guide-itself-home-land-gently-launchpad Discuss

That thing\'s beautiful. Mind posting the .craft so I can fly it?

OMG, I so need to find a new parts pack so I can build this.

Satellites are supposed to orbit for eternity, not come back down. What do they need parachutes for?

Ah, what the heck. This is as close as STO can get to what I look like. I never realized before how much I resemble a white Mario van Peebles.

All the equations you\'ll ever need, right here. http://www.thespaceshop.com/itonroscash.html I have it on a coffee mug here at my desk, too.

So edit the main engines to remove the gimballing.

Sure you can. HarvesteR told us how before the mun was even an experimental release. 1. Get into orbit headed toward point 90, switch to orbital camera. Set timewarp and wait for a bit. 2. As soon as you see the mun appear over the horizon, drop out of warp and thrust prograde until your apokee matches the mun\'s orbit. First loop, every time.

Early access to SW:tOR has started, but there\'s a new experimental release of KSP! Which do I play???

He should put a big Seahawks logo on the side! <- rabid \'Hawk fan (for those who don\'t know, Allen owns both the Seahawks and the Seattle Sounders)

Hard scifi? Gotta read Kim Stanley Robinson\'s Mars Trilogy. It\'s all about terraformation, so it starts with Red Mars, then they get Green Mars and finally Blue Mars as the atmosphere thickens. Got some interesting ideas on global economics, too.

My son LOVES Epic Rap Battles of History. I never have to seek them out because every time there\'s a new one he makes me watch it.

Don\'t bother. I mean, it\'s a fun game and all, but it needs multiplayer to really shine, because the AI is too easy to kill.

Happy Yule to all the pagans and heathens on the forums!
