Minnmunmus

Weeping Angels from (TV's hit show) Dr. Who?

All, I've been following a campaign that is pretty much determined by my use of RT2. I've been able to launch crewed missions around the Kerbin SOI but my overriding goal was the acquisition of long range communications equipment and the construction of communications and mapping satellite constellations in polar and semi or stationary orbits (depending on the body). My manned missions could conceivably go anywhere but missions taking place in comms blackout is the exception rather than the rule. With the campaign's focus on thriftiness (I'm not spamming contracts) I plan on constructing a modular interplanetary vessel that can be easily upgraded as better parts come available.

I'm not sure, but it may be because a mod is inactive or unworkable with the current KSP build. I have on that needs to be updated (Firespitter) and I had that screen for the first time today. By far my favorite bit is the random Kerbal all up in the camera's face. Sadly this entire "faked mun landing" was itself just a fake. KSP mission directors had planned to use filmed footage because Jebediah's design stipulation for "MOAR BOOSTERS!" would have delayed the project indefinitely for lack of funds. Jebediah, ignoring KSP's official position that a kerballed launch would be suicide and doomed to failure absconded from the guarded film stage with his crew and went ahead with the real mission to the mun anyways. His piloting prowess unmatched, he landed the CSM nosefirst into the munar surface. Jebediah & Co's fate is currently unknown (prominent theories as to their whereabouts vary from "they settled down and took up root in a cave" to "planning an epic EVA return voyage to the Kerbal Space Station. George Klooney has been flown there just in case they run out of EVA propellant as they approach the station's large solar panel arrays.

Woohoo! An adventurous Kerbal managed to resurrect the two severely damaged probes on Minmus and saved the mission! He also managed to bring in 1012 science! Now I'm designing my mission plan for a huge trip to the Mun-anyone have any tips for using the KW Rocketry Petal Fairing-I'd really like the option to open it in the VAB before I build my lander.

Screwed up a second Minmus mission. Today started off with a manned repair trip to my mapping satellite, but I failed to learn from that lesson by first launching a Minmal comms network and well...two out of three probes managed to soft land before they lost comms. Time to send out a second manned mission to fix both of these (while grabbing its own science too...) So much for my planned quick science grab for long range remotetech dishes!

Blizzy, I'm not sure why, but for some reason the new version of toolbar is freezing my game up. I can't load a saved game (I can click on the load saved game button multiple times with no effect) and I can't start a new game (I can get through the creation menu but after I click create it will freeze up on the main menu screen). I've currently disabled the mod by moving it out of the GameData folder but I was wondering if there was something you or anyone else in the community could tell me that would help out.
