  1. What Deadweasel said - I use Imgur it's free, easy to use and you don't even have to register
  2. I played a littlebit with droptank-designs: This thing can get into LKO and perform a powered landing afterwars (by MechJeb, not by hand)
  3. Well, built a new Rover and delivered it to Eve:
  4. I allways thought it more of a aesthetic choice. However I build a rather small probe once, it's main body was a FL-R25 RCS Fuel Tank and it landed on Duna with one Chute and several linear RCS thrusters on its bottom side...
  5. Ich built a unmanned Probe to send to eve, I just love this planet....maybe I'll send a rover next time....
  6. I went for Eve - I knew it was a kind of venus, so landing would be very easy with such a thick atmosphere
  7. Well, advantage of GSO: -You allways see the same spot of earth Disadvantage: -you never see anything else of earth -also - quite far out, so is need a lot more fuel and heavier rockets than LEO So, it's usefull for Communication or TV, because the Satelite is allways "on the same spot" in the night sky. Is also used for weathersurveilance (Meteosat are all in GSO)
  8. I made myself a new flag - and made for the Mün to test ist
  9. Today I landed a manned Rover on the Mün, that is actually able to achieve beareable cruising speeds
  10. Build my second SSTO (out of a skipper engine and two tanks) and experimented a bit with fairings from stock 1x1 panes
  11. To dock with the station ahead - you have to burn away from it.
  12. haha, nice - Jeb Kerman - the best Pilot alive
  13. While I think, that it's an awesome Series - I'd hardly call Dune hard scifi.
  14. I read Asimov - The Gods Themselves a few weeks ago - directly after reading Heinlein's The Moon is a harsh Mistress. Both are quite cool, but I'd say, that Asimov is definitely "harder" - even if is middle-part might a little bit strange.
  15. Well you obviously got Arthur C. Clarke covered I realy enjoyed The Forever War by Haldeman - it's not as hard as Clarke but still far away from Star Trek and good read.
  16. That's because Kerbal itself is smaler, actually the whole Kerbol-system is much smaller than our starsystem. PS: It's thrust-to-weight ratio and it has no dimension....so it's just 18 or 150 - no g needed
  17. Ah, well....let's just say, that my Space Mirror Memorial looks more like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
  18. First time in orbit? After a few hours I'd gues - surely on the first day I played KSP. However, this was VERY crude, I would fly straight up, until my apoapsis would be ~150km and then I would wait until I reach it and would burn sideways. But after a week or so I could perform a crude gravity turn...
  19. Send a one or more Kerbals to ze Mün and back - if possible in a goofy way/vehicle.
  20. You all start with the lander allready attached to the top of your ship? I usually have is stored behind the CSM (apollo style) and have to dock it to the top of my rocket before I can use the CSM-engine.
  21. Today I installed ISA Mapsat and made a map of Mün and Minmus. So I can start a mission to a few annomalies in the near future..
  22. This didn't work out a I planned :/
