Thanks for all the comments, I learned alot! though the plane I need only has to lift about 1ton into LKO. After that the probe itself can get to almost anywhere. The plane I used is alot smaller and barely makes it to orbit.

I've almost completed the tech tree other than the final tier, My reason for this plane is to lower launch costs. I've also heard that smaller wing areas make for a more maneuverable craft. With a bigger wingspan I am afraid of my plane spinning out of control when trying to re enter.

I can build planes, I can build a lightweight probe that can go to three planets in one trip. What I can't do is to merge the two together. can anybody show me a design or explain to me what makes a spaceplane work?

A probe taking off of Gilly

So I've been happily playing KSP Career mode and have gotten quite far. Then I realised that I didn't actually recover 100% science from each area. Now a half of me wants to go back and get collect the last scrapes of science points while the other half of me is too lazy to do so. What about you guys? and what do you think I should do? Get 100% science or just forget about the small percentage left over?

First time attempting to land a rover on Duna. Had fun doing it

I've tried building a ship to do a return mission, but I just can't seem to get there. Main problem is it takes so much fuel to establish an orbit around Duna. anybody has any suggestions?

I tried going into the local files to run it manually via KSP_x64 and Launcher but they both crashed and couldn't start? is there a way to just make steam automatically select the 64 bit one?

added part 2 onto the thread.

Nope, none at all.

Pics, or it didn't happen

Well, I'm currently stuck at a certain level.lol, haven't completed it yet.

The video below should more or less show what the game has to offer and the message it is trying to convey. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlvkh95ehgA&feature=youtu.be Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkXNd_Zha5g

My first Munar rover. Stick to the end to watch it do a headspin.

Unless its just the command pod, you will need a powered descent.

so, space kraken destroys our interplanetary ships but save our kerbals on kerbin? Looks like its trying to tell us not to venture into space...

I've gotten to all the planets except moho without mechjeb. I tried it out yesterday and I decided to only use mechjeb for getting into orbit and landing

I'd wanna stay on Vall. Ofcourse assuming that that are supplies of food,water and air. if not, laythe would be my next choice. off topic: what is the correct pronounciation of laythe?

I just want it to orbit jool. since landing is not an option. has about 1280L of fuel left

While trying to send a second ship to orbit jool, i accidentally landed myself into a synchronous orbit. so should keep myself in sync or not?

I've never touched a mac before so I don't know...

why is your orbital trajectory purple? wait no, why are there 3 of em. the blue line, the yellow line and a purple one. is this a mod?

ty, I got it done. But somehow shadows can bring my fps of 120 to 40+... so i disabled them again

Shadows are missing... so I would like to know how to get them back.

I wouldn't really want a gas giant since we can't land anyway. However, if there is gonna be another gas giant, neptune or saturn would be good.
