    I’ve found this is the quickest, and by far most efficient way to rendezvous, vs MechJeb’s own rendezvous planner. Once you’ve a feel for things, launch a little ahead/higher or behind/lower from your target, then use Hohmann planner>Fine tune>Match Velocity. Much quicker than moving thru phasing orbits, and you’re less likely to come hurtling at your target at hundreds of meters per second.

    Having just gone through the same crap with my shower, that’s still not completely remedied, I feel your pain. And desire for Kerbal commiserating.

    I just re-stumbled across this little gem, which is now hopelessly stuck in my head... and its 7 minute long video-story thing. They just don’t make em like this anymore. Probably for a good reason. Oh, 80’s... never change.

    So, they’d finally get their quick-response space “shuttle” they wanted 40 years ago.

    Strong with the brain bleach, this one is. I thought the green line would make that obvious.
  6. CatastrophicFailure
    Yup, spy bird. I’ll be sure to give it my opinion when it passes over. But they already know what it is. But oh, cool, next Iridium flight out of Vandy will be the first west coast RTLS. Maybe even a used booster.

    ”few weeks away.” A second flight this year is starting to sound unlikely, we’re running out of year too fast.

    No, no, no! When you loose the primary buffer panel, you’re supposed to experience some slight turbulence and then explode, not explode and then experience some slight turbulence! You’ve got it backwards! sorry couldn’t pass that one up

    You merely adopted the rocket; they were born into it, molded by it!

    Year 7, Day 309... While our wayward quartet is busy ruminating over the data they continue to gather, back here the work continues. To bring them home. Eventually. And also, other stuff. But mostly to bring them home. Probably. Anyways, here's a new rocket: We'll figure something out. The engineering team seems to be brimming with new ideas already. We've got plenty of butter-filled socks on hand, just in case.

    Not that I'm aware of. Maybe it's a reference to a certain other brooding, distinctly disturbed, sand-hating fellow. Or maybe it's something else entirely. Rald's secrets have only begun to be revealed. And here I thought it was writing a space program.

    Hmm... According to this article, CRS 13 is slated to go up from Pad 40.
  13. CatastrophicFailure
    In that case, sure it wasn’t an error in the flight control software?
  14. CatastrophicFailure
    Ruh roh!

    Rapid response test for the USAF? Maybe their X-37 is broken and they gotta send the other to go fix it. Or maybe... they’re trying to sneak in that Falcon Heavy launch when no one is expecting it...

    Cool, thanks for the info. I’m planning... things. ಠ_ಠ And my frame rate is already suffering. If I understand the games mechanics correctly, docked vessels are a greater drain on the system than a single large vessel with equal parts. That being so, I’ll slap it together with KAS instead of docking ports and hopefully save a few FPS.
  17. CatastrophicFailure
    Question here for anyone internally familiar with Kerbal Attachment System. I’d rather not plug up that thread with a simple one. When a part is attached using KAS/KIS, as far as the game itself runs, is it considered a single vessel or two “docked” vessels?
  18. CatastrophicFailure
    Instantly made me think of this: Now go land ‘em on an asteroid and watch out for that space dimentia. fer flarp’s sake he did all that by hand, no Burn Together!
  19. CatastrophicFailure
    This... we do not speak of...
  20. CatastrophicFailure
    It’s a stand alone, basically a Greenish Mars. And squishy in places.
  21. CatastrophicFailure
    All Things Serve the Beam.
  22. CatastrophicFailure
    Interesting, if unlikely, idea. And they’d better go after the Hubble first.
  23. CatastrophicFailure
    Jets in the game don’t produce max power while sitting still, they need to be moving in most cases. Right click on the engine, it’ll display its current power output. If someone else round here could test your setup, that might be helpful too. Might just be the little Juno can’t lift that much at zero speed.
  24. CatastrophicFailure
    Also, jets need time (and speed) to come up to full thrust.

    See? See?? It’s only a matter of time before this guy makes a fully functioning android, complete with self-evolving analog artificial consciousness, and we all know where that leads.
