I was planning to suggest pebblegarden as well. He doesn't post as much as some of the others, but his tutorial videos were spot on and really helped me to understand how to perform an orbital rendezvous.

Very nice. Please don't tease by saying "nothing can go wrong". That's very un-Kerbal.

You can also use Kerbal Engineer Redux if you're trying to select your station as a target. Just press RDV (rendezvous) then select your target type (station, celestial body, etc), then choose.

Funny, I just posted about my first Mun encounter yesterday in the "Show off your awesome KSP pictures!" thread. Basically, I got there, and was able to (eventually) establish a 25 km circular orbit, but it took multiple periapsis burns, and the orbit is retrograde. I plan to send a few more probes there, until I learn to establish better orbits, before sending any Kerbals.

I sent a probe to the Mun for the first time. Of course, due to poor planning, I ended up in a retrograde orbit around Mun. So, this Kerbinrise image is actually a Kerbinset. Still, it is very cool to be within 25 km of Mun. Until now, I've only been that close when watching Scott Manley's videos.

Tru dat. I also agree that the current music is well-suited to the game, and wouldn't mind a little more variety but in the same style.

I've tried those as well, with no luck. I was hoping that there was some magic way to do it that I had simply not yet encountered.

Can you turn off ASAS units individually? I have SAS on my station, but if I have any orbiters docked, which have ASAS, the station wobbles like a weeble. I would like to disable the ASAS on my docked ships without disabling the station's SAS.

I wanted to upgrade our modest LKO station to add more power: We built this unmanned vehicle to launch a new tower containing solar panels, batteries, a 6-way docking adapter, and clamp-o-trons on each end: Unfortunately, we got to orbit and realized that the launch vehicle did not have enough mono-propellant. So, we parked the upper stage maybe 20 km from the station, then undocked one of our orbiters and sent it over. The orbiter docked to the far end of the tower, then undocked the launch vehicle, so it could be deorbited. Unfortunately, it had also run out of power, so is stranded in orbit until a cleanup crew can get to it. The orbiter arrived back at the station, then spent over an hour unsuccessfully trying to dock the adapter with the station. Jeb eventually realized that the manufacture had somehow forgotten to attach clamp-o-trons to 5 of the 6 adapter ports, making it useless. So, the adapter was discarded and the remainder of the tower attached to the station (in the wrong orientation). The next day, Obrded Kerman used the orbiter to move the tower to an existing port on the station, coming close to the desired configuration. This image also gives a nice view of Mun, which the Kerbins aboard station hope to visit soon. An engineer eventually found the 5 missing clamp-o-trons in a cardboard box at KSP, along with the missing batteries.

Not as fancy as some of the other pictures in this thread, but it's my first station (slightly modified stock station core), with two Phoenix orbiters docked. There are currently 8 Kerbals aboard. The orbiters were originally in a different plane, docked together. We ran a simulated rescue mission by having one orbiter do the plane change and rendezvous burns with the second orbiter still docked. Once they got close to the station, they separated and docked with the station individually.

Well, that is interesting. I see this issue all the time, so I'll definitely have to sit down with that thread. I'm running on a single-core AMD Athlon64 3800+ that I bought in April 2005. I upgraded it to 2 GB RAM at some point, and recently bought a new GPU (GeForce 610) because my older card (GeForce 7600GT) went kaput. I knew my computer was not up to speed for KSP, but since the demo ran OK I bought in (and I'm glad I did). A new machine is on my shopping list, but finances don't permit that at the moment.

Yeah, I got here on March 9. I think I only lost my "Welcome Aboard" posts, and maybe an image of my first orbital docking.
