CatastrophicFailure

You have any idea how much that would cost? I say leave it there, so long as it's not a problem, save the money for developing other things. Maybe it'll even be useful at some point.

Yup. As I understand it, the whole eastern range is gonna be down for maintenance during that time. Its not quite the 60 days SpaceX will need, but I'm wondering if they'll use the downtime to get a head start on those FH modifications to the pad.

I was thinking something like WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE INOLUNTARY GUFFAWING, UNCONTROLLED OCULAR REVOLUTIONS, GRATUITOUS HAND-TO-FACE CONTACT, AND SPONTANEOUS NASAL EXPULSION OF BEVERAGES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT CONSUME COFFEE, SODA, MILK, OR OTHER POTENTIALLY IRRITATING LIQUDS WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT. IN CASE OF PARALYZING CONFUSION, CONSULT AUTHOR'S WORKS, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY JUST A BAD JOKE ANYWAY. SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.

I should probably add a warning label eventually.

Nah, pretty boring actually. I was doing a quick test to figure out the greenhouse & NF Nuke reactors, dat time warp, doe!

The Extended Cut would have been epic... if Kerbalism failures hadn't kept popping up.

I sat and watched the ballet of orbital mechanics for a while.

Also, BulgariaSat booster returns. Dig the big pink bandaid.

Year 6, Day 51... It's been a long time since we've had a day like this. This... will be a day long remembered! It has seen the end of the Republic, it will soon-- Oops, wrong script. Ahem... Today is a glorious testament to the modern age! The culmination of achievement since an unknown alchemist a millennium ago first mixed charcoal, brimstone, and bat poop, and said to himself, "Man, I'ma light this crap on fire!" Presumably he had an assistant to carry on his work. And let us not forget the mighty armies of Ivan I, Ivan the Great, who used the concoction to forge together a shattered land into a mighty Empire! Whether it wanted to or not. And from that nascent Empire sprouted the seeds of our modern, prosperous and glorious Union, and the immortal words that carry on unto this day that This, We Do Not Speak Of! Except we haven't heard so much as a mouse fart from that Union in over six years now, and here I am speaking of it with no boogeykerb jumping from the shadows. Hmm. Anyways, we built a really big rocket that didn't explode despite being far too expensive to test properly ahead of time. Comrades other people, I give you... ...the Big Dummy! In other news, I'm getting a bit concerned about Lodvin. Eccentric is ok, Kerm knows we've got no shortage of that running around here, but he's gone from muttering about sand to mumbling about "going into the light," or not going into the light, or something like that. I may have to take drastic measures if he gets worse.

"Number 1037 is aliiive!" doesn't rhyme very well, does it?

Be sure you don't accidentally flag down any Trimaxion Drone Ships. ...and in a great irony they're saying North Korea just launched their own rocket.

No disassemble Falcon Niiiiiiiine!

Literally, apparently. Que wah wah wah waaaaaaah. why, no, I'm not bitter, why do you ask? Week. even missed the abort. It seems I have nothing to add but snide commentary.

Yeah this forum hates mobile, too. Formatting linked things like Twitter won't work at all, and even images are testy.

I'm on mobile and can't link tweets right, but launch is on for tonite and 7:37 EDT/23:37(I think)UTC Aaaaaand ninja'd.

Dang, that thing looks extra-crispy this time around.

Have you guys never had the pleasure of a Moho capture burn so long you have to start it before hitting Moho's SOI?

@kerbiloid yeah, well, he really liquided me off, so I showed him!

Next window is tomorrow, one minute earlier. How's the weather look for tomorrow @Just Jim?

Officially scrubbed. Poop.

And aborted.

Sat's too heavy. Was supposed to go up on FH originally. I think there's a few expendables planned yet because of the delay with FH. Dat sunlight thru the clouds doe!

Year 6, Day 31... So we're calling this Phase 1-A. After rebuilding from the last experiment upgrading the Research Center and incorporating a slew of new probe parts (one might even call them Probe Plus parts), we need a test of the new experimental probe buss. It's light enough that we had some excess capacity on the Mallard, so the engineering team thought it worthwhile to validate the delta-V calculations for an Iota return, by, well, returning from Iota. But just with a probe. ...and promptly begins to sink. Someone go wake up Vlad and get him some flippers. I don't care if he already smells like fish!
