  1. Nope, it did not. Actually I'm still pulling at Proxima Centauri with the same force as it pulls on me! The user below me prefers summer to winter.
  2. The final Seer probe: Seer 7 The final probe of the Seer program has completed it's mission. The booster worked just fine - as always. After a rather boring cruise to the Mun, the Logi stage decelerated the probe enough to let it land on it's own. The probe touched down in the munar Highlands. Another milestone in our nations journey to the Mun! @Frozen_Heart No, you don't need to use the embed album feature. You just copy the string that identifies your album from you browser bar (In your case it's imgur.com/a/tR0xd) and paste it between the imgur-forum command like this: [*imgur]tR0xd[/imgur] (remove the *) By the way - that is a nice Apollo 4 recreation. But I miss the reentry and splashdown part :/ Still, you have a really cool looking booster

  4. Does not compute. The user below me never swam in the sea.
  5. The first, unmanned test flight of the Sleipnir V launch vehicle: Odin IV Shortly after sunrise the mighty engines of the Sleipnir V fired for the first time at the KSC. It was the maiden flight of the S-IC first stage and S-II second stage. The huge first stage fired for 1 minute and 20 seconds and lifted the rocket through the thickest part of the atmosphere. After first stage separation, the new S-II stage took over, lighting up it's five skipper engines. The S-II stages fired for another minute, easily lifting the craft into the vacuum of space. The allready tested S-IVB stage was then used to lift the apoapsis to incredible 11,000 km. This way the capsule can reenter at trans-munar speeds. To further approximate a reentry from the mun, the CSM's engine was activated near the apoapsis to lift the periapsis to 30 km. This happened about one day after launch. Another day later the craft was again close to Kerbin. The service module was shed and the capsule entered the atmosphere. Thanks to the heat shield and parachutes the capsule splashed down safely, two days and one hour after launch. The test was a complete success - every system and subsytem of the booster and the Odin spacecraft worked just at intended.

  7. True. However, I have never tried iOS. The user below me has colored hair.
  8. Nope. But I have been thinking about it. The user below me is a girl/woman.
  9. Im indifferent. To be honest, I think bacon is overrated. The user below me sleeps in pyjamas.
  10. No, they have a bad reputation over here in Germany. The user below has flown in a helicopter.
  11. Nope, never been to russian. The user below me knows spain's heat.
  12. Nah, they sit in the trees and scream whem I'm trying to go to bed..... The user below me likes classical music.
  13. No, I think I called it strange in the one-word-avatar thread. Sorry. The user below me took part in at least one challenge in the challenges-forum.
  14. Today the penultimate Seer probe landed on the Mun: Seer VI After a rather eventless journey to the Mun, the Logi stage decelleratet the probe one day and four hours after launch, so that it would decend to the surface. It touched down in the designated target area in the munar Midlands.

  16. Does not compute. The user below me can name a real astronaut that is not Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin.
  17. The Seer program continues - Seer V touches down in the Southwest Crater. The Naglfar-Logi booster once again put the probe on a direct trajectory to the Mun. After a one day cruise, the Logi stage decellerated the probe close to the Munar surface before it was dropped. Using it's own enines, the Seer V then decended to the munar surface. This was the first probe to land on the Mun's southers hemisphere.

  19. While the Odin program is still in crisis, the search for landing sites continues: Seer IV has just landed on the Mun! This is the fourth time a Naglfar-Logi booster has carried one of the Seer probes to the Mun. A minor malfunction during engine seperation was the only problem during launch. One day later the probe landed on the Mun. It touched down in a region called the "Northern Basin", right in middle of a impressive crater that can be seen in the transmitted images.
