Putting this one HERE and that one THERE... Applying rubber mallet... Applying wrench... Passing the hydrospanner... Calculating collision course... Planning Fireworks display... Replacing broken switch with pen... Pressing "T" to correct RCS role... Ejecting from bedstead... Assuming direct control... Rebooting SAS... Applying forehead to control panel... Forgetting parachutes...

I usually explain Kerbal Space Program to new comers by telling them "Imagine the minions from Despicable Me are green and have a space program"

Still waiting on resource gathering. I know Squad is focusing more on career mode right now and getting that up and running, but I really want to set up a mining base on the Mun without mods.

I did the same thing in .19. I designed a rover that theoretically could land on any of Jool's muns and docked them to a mother ship in Kerbin orbit. The development process took weeks between classes. The monstrosity (with 6 of these rovers docked) slowed my computer to 6 fps, and I had quicksaved just before I discovered my retrograde orbit. I never started that game save again.

When your over abundance of fins and RCS can't compensate for the rotation induced by your first stage boosters despite them all being perfectly aligned and the only thing keeping your rocket from tearing itself apart is your over abundance of space tape.

I spent weeks in between classes putting together an unmanned rover mission to every mun around Jool. I designed a type of rover that was theoretically capable of landing in any gravitational and atmospheric environment. I would dock 6 to a mothership which would fly them all to Jool and release one to each moon, with one spare that I could chuck into Jool for the laughs. I discovered that the first version of the mothership didn't have the delta-V or even a way to refuel. So after an excessive amount of explosions; I managed to lob a second mothership into Kerbin orbit, rendezvous with the first mothership, transfer over the three rovers I had already launched to the first mothership, launch the other three and dock them, and refuel the entire monstrosity. By the time I left Kerbin orbit I was crawling at 4 fps, 6 if I was lucky. I finally got a Jool encounter; time warped to it; quick-saved; warped to periapsis; quick-saved; burned into an elliptical orbit that crossed all the muns' orbits; quicksaved; then I realized that I was orbiting retrograde. Commence with head-on-desk smashing.
