That's because, he love space as much as he like planets and moons.

5 out of 5 stars to you.

What if you make a wrong course, but you made it to the destination eventually?

I get the idea from NASA's Moonbase Alpha. Here's the information: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/23910 And that's why we can't always have nice space missions. Like how when I tried to launch my own Merkury-Atlas to orbit, the retrorocket exploded while I try to bring the debris back to Kerbin. That must be scary for Jeb. (Sorry, Jeb.) (But yes, Jeb survived.) So... I challenge you to build a moonbase on a moon that orbits Kerbin, and simulate how the game works: Use the debris to damage the moonbase, and let the kerbalnauts to fix the moonbase in 25 minutes! (Yes, 25 minutes.) You will need: 1.Any debris that will crash to Moonbase Alpha(You have to make it to there) 2.A moonbase 3.A moon rover 4.A team of kerbalnauts 5.Solar Generators 6.Life Support Modules Choose the challenge: Easy: MBA_1_2: 1.1-2 Kerbalnauts 2.2 solar panels damaged 3.All circuits damaged 4.1 rover 5.Timed - 25 minutes Medium: MBA_3_4: 1.1-4 Kerbalnauts 2.3 solar panels damaged 3.All circuits damaged 4.1 rover damaged 5.2 rovers 6.Timed - 25 minutes Hard: 1) MBA_5_6: 1.1-6 Kerbalnauts 2.3 solar panels damaged and 1 destroyed 3.All circuits damaged 4.2 rovers damaged 5.4 rovers 6.Timed - 25 minutes 2)MBA_MADNESS: 1.2 team of 3 Kerbalnauts 2.Untimed games 3.2 solar panels from each team damaged (There's 4 total) 4.All circuits damaged from each team 5.1 rover damaged from each team (There's 2 total) 6.1 rover (There's 2 total) Expert: MBA_SANDBOX: 1.1-6 Kerbalnauts 2.Nothing - You have to build it yourself. 3.All circuits incomplete - tends for more maintnance 4.Timed - 25 minutes 5.2 rovers incomplete - tends for more maintnance 6.4 rovers Note that they are all games in competetive mode. Unlike others, Moonbase Alpha - Madness is untimed. Here's the story: That's why you always need to take a doctor, or a first-aid kit in every mission. But you need help to get rid of space dementia. You have to send a distress signal, so the rescue team would come to you and cure everyone! Can you do it? (Remember, the game is untimed, so you don't have to hurry.) If you blow it, sorry you score will not be recorded, but if you win, your score will be recorded. Best post a video, but if you want, you can send a picture, but you must send completion time. If you fail, store a quicksave and try again! If you susceed on MBA_MADNESS, you have to also send completion time, it can be more than 25 minutes, but once finish building, you must survive the night. Good luck! And don't forget that you have to reply to this thread to choose the challenge! You can choose any challenge, just set up. (Repair mission is not ready yet.) Leaderboard: 1)Easy Completion Time: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2)Medium Completion Time: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 3)Hard Completion Time: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 4)Expert Completion Time: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 5)MBA_MADNESS Completion Time: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6)Total Game Won: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Ahem! Post the pictures that proves you did it to prove you did it! And you don't have to do it in one day. I did not require you to do it.

Greeting Kerbalnauts, I challenge you to go to every planet and moon in the Kerbol System! The challenge has no rule except: 1.Do not use CapaciX addon: unlimited fuels feels cheating. 2.Go to every planet and moon in just a mission. 3.Do not have a rescue mission! 4.Do it yourself! To prove you did it by yourself, post what you have done. Everything that is proof. If you have already went to every planet in Kerbol System, post it so I could upload your score to the Leaderboard. If you have enough to return to Kerbin (Must be in Kerbol Orbit, or a planet other than Kerbin), try to return. There are 3 leaderboards: 1)Go to every planet and moon in a single flight: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2)Go to every place and back in a single flight: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 3)Total mission completed (Forward mission count as 1, return mission count as 1): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Good luck, Kerbalnauts, and don't blow it!

Actually, MechJeb is on Kerbal Net. I checked it today. Can I edit the part config? Just asking.

Apparently there was a video, but it got pulled. In any case, the pictures tell the story pretty clearly. Yes, by Von Braun\'s standards, Bossart was clinically insane in more ways than one. He was, after all, one of the first proponents of LH2 propellants as well... Inertial/command. A interferometric radar ground station would track the rocket during launch and send updates to the rocket to make corrections. The military pushed for an independent fully-inertial system which was implemented in Atlas E and onwards, but the technology developed for the Azusa system saw continued usage in the spaceflight industry, with related ground-based tracking and command systems being the favored system right up to the Shuttle era, and even today to some extent (complimented by GPS and TDRS). They used an RD-180, not a 170. And performance is performance; adding extra weight that doesn\'t otherwise help performance is a performance penalty no matter what engine you have underneath. As for the logistics, I think transportation and assembly are by far the more difficult aspect of handling balloon tanks than fueling is. For fueling, the fuel hoses are pressurized by pumps anyways, and I\'m sure pressure CAN be reduced on an Atlas even during on-pad fueling (maybe not down to the 5 PSI that they were stored at, but somewhere significantly less than the 25-30 PSI they launched with) if need be. Atlas already had all the systems for regulating pressure internally after fueling, so I can\'t see all that much extra external infrastructure being required to maintain pressure during fueling, aside from a pressure fitting on the nozzle-end of the fueling hoses. During transportation or assembly, on the other hand, the rocket\'s own pressure regulation systems are disabled and the rocket must be kept pressurized to 5+ PSI with nitrogen at all times. Now it\'s not terribly difficult to keep a steel balloon from leaking, but care must be taken not to open the wrong valve at the wrong time, and the pressure should probably be monitored during transportation. Oddly enough, the Falcon 1\'s second stage is not considered pressure-supported at all. Of course, being a pressure-fed stage rated for more than 135 PSI, the fuel tank itself is built heavily enough to completely eliminate any need for dedicated structural members at all anyways - pressurized or not. I sometimes wonder if this may be the answer - to simply increase the pressure rating of your fuel tanks so they can handle all assembly and pad loads unpressurized, and then re-assess your engine choice to see if the weight of the turbomachinery is really worth the ISP increase. (I mean, heck, the Kestrel, with a mere 135 PSI chamber pressure, achieves a vacuum ISP even better than Merlin does with its turbopump and 1000 PSI combustion pressure, just due to turbopump and nozzle losses!) Few days ago I checked about the Falcon 9 rocket engines. The Falcon 9 first stage engines (Which are 9 Merlin 1C's) also works on vacumms, but no better than Merlin 1C Vacumm, which is the engine for Falcon 9 second stage. (So technically, you are right --- partialy.)

Schedule have changed, everything have delayed by 25-30 minutes. EDIT: All schedule have delayed shown on the first post.

Flight Director: Columbia, you are go for launch. Jeb: Roger, Flight.

Counting down at T- 15:00 and counting.

September 27, 2012, at 15:20 PST, T- 1:00:30:00 Jeb's Training is complete. Verify to resume countdown. Flight Director: Shuttle orbiter? Ground Crew 1: Go. Flight Director: ET? Engineer 1: We are go. Flight Director: Crawler? Engineer 2: Go. Flight Director: Solid booster? Engineer 1: We are go. Flight Director: Move vehicle to Launchpad 39A. Later at T- 1:00:10:00 Flight Director: Fuel Feed to ET? Ground Crew 1: Cable is up. Flight Director: Shuttle Computer? Ground Crew 2: They are powered up. Flight Director: Jeb, pre-programmed ascent system? Jebediah Kerman, Pilot of STS-1: Go. Flight Director: Are you sure? Jeb: Yes. You programmed it, Gene. Flight Director Gene Kerman: Oh. Sorry. Anyway, CAPCOM? CAPCOM Bill Kerman: Go. Flight Director Gene: GUIDO? GUIDO James "Johnson" Kerman: We are go. Flight Director Gene: FTS? FTS Crew Fred "Haise" Kerman (I even got some Apollo astronauts in as well. But yes, Fred Haise did complete ALT, a pre-space shuttle mission, and Apollo 13): Go. Flight Director Gene: Okay. Cryo Tank? Ground Crew 3: Go. Flight Director Gene: John, anything about weather? Meteorologist John Kerman: 70% go. We are go. Flight Director Gene: Okay. Still I need another 22 hours to check it out. Countdown resumes at T- 0:02:00:00. Confirmed launch date and launch time for STS-1: September 28, 2012, at 15:50 PST.

The Destroyer, you mean the October 13th thing. Choose any of them. It must be like or similar to these: [ATTACH=CONFIG]33682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]33683[/ATTACH] The upper one is Atlas-V and the lower one is Titan-IVB. Press Attachment 33682 for Atlas-V picture and Attachment 33683 for Titan-IVB picture. They could be pictures.

Sure. (I am talking to you, The Destroyer) Now you can help me by test and/or test a mission by the launch date and make crafts, so I can use it for my mission. Special thanks to The Destroyer to make me make this post. (I'm talking to everybody at the last two sentences.) EDIT:I changed "I'm talking to everybody at the last sentence." to "I'm talking to everybody at the last two sentense."

News flash: New schedule has been added. EDIT: Schedule has cancelled due to the development of Atlas-V and Titan-IVB, and the schedules that uses those launchers have been delayed.

Sure, I'll use it for STS-2 and STS-3

He he he he... I am posting schedule for my launch missions. Any ideas? By the way: I'm using KSP 0.17. KSP Mission Schedule: (I am not ready for interplanetary mission, but you can give me ideas. Schedules varies) 1.STS-1: Spacecraft: Space Shuttle Columbia; Payload: ASAS Module; Launch Date: September 28, 2012; Launch Time: 16:40 PST (Firday we test X-25.) (50 minutes late); Landing: 18:22 PST, planned landing: 16:10 PST, delay: 2 hours and 12 minutes. 2.STS-2: Spacecraft: Space Shuttle Columbia; Payload: Kethane Satellite; Launch Date: September 28, 2012; Launch Time: 16:20 PST, confirmed launch time: 20:00 PST (3 hours, 40 minutes late) 3.X-25 Test: Spacecraft: X-25; Launch Date: September 28, 2012, confirmed launch date: September 29, 2012; Launch Time: 16:40 PST, confirmed launch time: 16:50 PST (1 day, 10 minutes late) 4.STS-3: Spacecraft: Space Shuttle Columbia; Payload: ISA Mapsat Satellite; Launch Date: September 29, 2012; Launch Time: 13:42 PST 5.STS-4: Spacecraft: Space Shuttle Columbia; Payload: Nemo Satellite; Launch Date: September 29, 2012; Launch Time: 15:00 PST 6.Astronaut Training Day: Aircraft: X-25; Launch Date: September 30, 2012; Launch Time: 13:03 PST (This day is the day we test Atlas-V and Titan-IVB, if works well, the condition will be reviewed.) 7.STS-5: Spacecraft: Space Shuttle Columbia; Payload: STS-76C Satellite and a payload; Launch Date: September 30, 2012; Launch Time: 13:10 PST 8.Atlas-V Test: Launcher: Atlas-V; Launch Date: September 30, 2012; Launch Time: 13:55 PST (This will stay until a suscessful flight) 9.Titan-IVB Test: Launcher: Titan-IVB; Launch Date: September 30, 2012; Launch Time: 14:10 PST (This will stay until a suscess flight.) 10.Radiatoscope Satellite: Launcher: Atlas-V; Launch Date: October 13, 2012; Launch Time: 13:22 PST 11.ICEsat: Launcher: Atlas-V; Launch Date: October 13, 2012; Launch Time; 13:34 PST 12.ST-25 Communication Satellite: Launcher: Titan-IVB; Launch Date: October 13, 2012; Launch Time: 14:00 PST STS-2 plans are set, now which payload should be deployed during STS-5? (Note that STS-5 must be launch by September 30.) You can help me by testing and complete some missions and post craft by launch date so I could use it for the mission. Also that you can't bring a crate of muffins to space, they floats and may destroy a spacecraft. Anyone want to join for a test in September 30? Sorry for the problem on Friday when we have a super delay to the game. All time has delayed to next hour. Again, the time have delayed to 20:00 to 22:00 PST. Note: 1.PST = Pacific Standard Time, which is -8:00, or 8 hours from Prime Meridian, which marks 0:00. 2.All spacecraft is made using TiberDyne Plugins, and maybe some stock parts, and others addons like MechJeb. 3.All times based on real time, not using simulation time in KSP. 4.Nobody's perfect: The actually launch time could be late.

Un.... It is okay to reach a lower orbit, then boost up to higher orbit?

I don't get it at all.

Hello? I said post to this thread to join this challenge, and submit change, (I think I made up the first sentense one. Just read the first post.) and have fun! Moderator Comment: No matter how much KSP excites you, Designer225, please try and keep the writing as normally sized as possible. And try to avoid all caps as well. - Ted .... and thank you, Ted.

I guess I will use a one-manned capsule and use stock parts. Also MechJeb.

I agree with UNSC on this one. But you die when you are too close.

Actually... I saw your thread yesterday and it says km. Anyway, I'm in.

Seriously, did you forget something? That some people broke VincentLaw's record. Find it in this thread!

And keep in mind that I won't do the challenge unless you prove you are not joking.
