One thing to keep in mind as we progress through the rest of this story of Beagle Flight. All events from this point on take place before the theatrical release of the movie Gravity. (Honest! ) i plan to get the next chapter up tonight. I have some wrapping up to do. But rest assured the crew of Beagle Flight have several missions to go. thank you for staying with me.

Whew! Had to do some catching up. You amaze me KSK. So much depth.

Not to downplay what you are suggesting, but that could lead up to having several types of these crafts lying around. Just off hand... Apollo 1 Cosmonauts deaths (unconfirmed I might add) Columbia disaster KSP isn't just for the American space program. I remember clearly the Challenger disaster. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I was in shock for a few days after that. All the shuttle crews were my heroes. They were doing something I could never hope to do.

Screaming? Lots of gasps and some moans but no screaming. as for your last statement... I didn't get that at all. But you'll get out of it what you want I guess. I wanted entertainment. I got that in spades. Could I pick it apart? Of course, but I don't go to the movies to do that.

Odin, this movie deserves your viewing in the big screen. Well worth my money. My only regret is that we didn't have time to go to the IMAX to see it in 3D. I will be getting this in blu ray when it comes out.

Be sure to wear your sunscreen.

Not a problem. I suspect you'll need your strength... And so will we.

I usually take the opportunity to start all over again. i have 3 different versions installed right now. I'll probably clean that up once I finish my current Beagle Flight story.

Sunscreen, dude. probably best for a bit. I fear for future generations. We are going to be a species of very pale people. No matter what race you happen to be. That is until we get plugged in and put in a support tube and start powering the matrix.

Yes. Doing any challenge using anything that the challenge forbids would be unfair and would only gain you a disqualification. However, if it is only just your world and your play. Why not play however you like? Overpowered engines? Go for it. MechJeb? Go for it. Isn't the whole point in the sandbox game to have fun?

are you a griefer? A person with that type of mentality? If not, why are you angry? There are several mature young people out there. You know the type of person he was talking about. It isn't limited to a young age. seriously, I know several adults that are griefers. That is all they play games for is to tick others off. I have better things to do Than to waste my time with them anymore.

I'm not going to bother with this game anymore. I've found my game that will keep me entertained for years. Plus, no screaming kids, trolls, team mates that screw around, map packs, season pass...I'm just done with it. that combat in space? No, just no. One burst with a automatic weapon and you are tumbling wildly or hanging on to a structure, firing one handed and missing. Tracers shouldn't work in space so you won't be able to even correct your aim visually. You'd have a much better chance with a storm and board method. All combat inside, no need to fire a shot. Capture and space your enemies. The station is yours. Any enemy still outside? Secure the hatch from the inside. They will eventually run out of air.

Chuck Norris. they won't even see it coming.

If you are going to just drop off your station parts then deorbit your rocket, then make sure your station parts have some form of control pod on them. Otherwise you may find that you cannot control them. Personally, I use the final stage of my rocket to dock the station parts then uncouple from the station part then deorbit.

Don't understand the unfair thing. Who are you being unfair to? Sandbox game, it's just you, man.

Snort! Bored? Go outside. Get away from the electronics for a bit.

You bother wearing pajamas?

I couldn't think of a better release code for a nuke. Can you?

Trouser press!?!?! where do I sign up? awesome stuff as always Cupcake!

Note: I suck at flying planes.

Some where over the western ocean. A jet flies over the ocean on a routine patrol. The radio comes alive with a signal that overrides normal radio traffic. "Capricorn One, this is Olympus. " The pilot cocks his head to the side and changes his transmitter to a encrypted signal using equipment not installed on normal aircraft. "Olympus, this is Capricorn One. Over." "Capricorn, what is your weapon status? Over." Olympus sends. The pilot checks his panel quickly and then responds. "2000 rounds cannon ammo." The pilot pauses, "1 Mk 1 low yield Tactical Nuke." "Capricorn One. I am sending you target coordinates. Patch them into your targeting computer. Over." The pilot pulls out a card from his flight packet and breaks the seal, "Olympus, Authenticate Zebra, Alpha, Zero, Zero!" "Capricorn," Olympus responds immediately, "Romeo, Foxtrot, Echo, Niner, Niner, Alpha, One, Alpha." The pilot checks his code card and responds. "Affirmative Olympus. Targeting coordinates inserted." "Capricorn, Weapon release authentication - Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, One, Four, Niner. Delta, Charlie, Zero, One, Fiver, Zero, Zero, Zero." The pilot checks his release code on the card. "Roger Olympus. Release is confirmed. Stand-by" "Kodspeed, son. Olympus out." The pilot makes a course correction over the mountains and heads north. "Olympus, on final. Activating stealth cloak." "Roger Capricorn One. Be advised, target has access to anti-stealth tech." Olympus responds. "Understood, Olympus. Target in site. Coming up on release point.... Weapon away!" "Olympus, target destroyed." Suddenly a wail fills the cockpit. "Olympus, missile launch! I will try to evade. Counter measures launched." The pilot jerks his plane into a hard right turn, desperately trying to avoid the missile." "Capricorn One, Confirm target destroyed message. Get out of there son." "Almost, almo- Ahh!" "Olym <psstark!> ayday, mayday. I<pssaarrk!> down. eject sys<saaaanrk> failed. I'm riding this <psstark> down." "Roger Capricorn. Rescue team launched." Olympus responds. "<Pstark!>pus, don't bother. Flat spin, un<ssst!>coverable. Give my regards to the <psstark!>tor." "Yes, i will Capricorn. Kodspeed." Beagle Flight continues.

Mr k and Mr K scare me too. LOL. More to come later tonight. I'm off to see Gravity. -much later. Excellent movie! Entertaining? Yes! 100% realistic? -snort!- No! Still I loved it. Stand by - next chapter coming. Now.

Undisclosed Location Nikto awakes in a small room. Scrambling to his feet he looks around in fear. "Kod!" he moans, "they found me out!" There is a table, two chairs, a mirror and some rather disturbing stains on the table and walls. He shivers. The heavy door across the opens. A Kerb in black walks in. "Good afternoon," The Kerb says. "My name is Mr k. I have some questions for you." Nikto snorts. "You I'm not telling anything to without a lawyer. I know my rights!" Mr k flicks a bit of lint from his sleeve. "I'm afraid you won't be calling a lawyer, my friend. Allow me to introduce you to my associate." Mr k stands still as the massive door opens again. Nikto's eyes bulge out (more so than normal) as the biggest Kerbal he has ever seen walked through the massive doorway. "This is Mr K." Mr. k said. "He will be assisting me today." Nikto swallowed as Mr K moved across the room toward him. Mr K grabbed the chain and spun it around to face Mr k. He then walked around Nikto. Nikto backed away, not realizing that Mr K was maneuvering him toward the chair. Suddenly Mr K reached out and poked Nikto in the chest causing him to fall backwards into the chair. "Sit!" Mr K said in a deep voice. Mr k stepped forward, "Now my friend, let us talk about what you've been up to these last few weeks." Nikto glups. "I ain't saying anything!" Mr k sighs, "Mr K, if you will." Mr K doesn't say a word as he reaches out and grabs a hold of Nikto's arm. Nikto gasps as a pop is heard coming from his arm. Then the pain hits. Nikto starts screaming. "Shouldn't take long Mr k." Mr K says. Vanguard Enterprises Later, as Klatu is walking down the hallway headed for the conference room for this weekly staff meeting, he feels a buzz in his jacket inner pocket. He only carries one device in that pocket. He ducks into a storage room and locks the door after making sure he is alone. He pulls the smart device from his pocket it presses an on screen button. A scanner lights up and scans his eyes. Then a cloak program runs and connects him to his caller. "Yes?" The Director answers. On screen the Director can see Mr k. He also hears some whimpering in the background. "Sir, " Mr k says, "I'm attaching the information you requested." A transcript appears on a separate window on his device. "Excellent! You did well." "Will there be anything else sir?" Mr k asks. "No, proceed as normal." The Director answers. "Mr K." Mr k says. Mr K reaches out and grabs Nikto's head. With a quick motion there is a snap and Nikto slumps to the floor. "Our task here is complete, Director" Mr k says. "Good. Payment terms as normal. Good bye." The screen goes dark and Klatu leaves the room and proceeds to his meeting. Looks like it is going to be a good day after all. Beagle Flight continues.

Excellent Cupcake!

Yeah and getting ticked off when clobbered by a cast iron skillet thrown from across the room. Even my step granny wasn't that tough/creepy. that body needs to be incinerated fast.
