I still like those eclipses. It is definitely irrelevant how often they occur, as they are just beautiful to watch. My 5 cents.

What? "a Thursday" or "Thursdays" does not mean "this Thursday". Edit: I am just kidding around. Don't take me serious. Because I wouldn't take me serious.

I support Thursdays. Because that's the day of Thor. The god of thunder. And thundering is, what rockets do.

Because all of us have manners, are well-behaved and have a superb education. We are not giggly or silly, we would never add more boosters or struts until inevitable. THIS IS SERIOUS GAMING!!!1!!!!11!!!!one-eleven!

Lithobreaked. No Survivors.

Thank you for the support! I'll try a mission like this: Start from Kerbin, Swingby near Kerbol, deploy a kientific satellite, circularize the satellites orbit, and return the Kerbals to Kerbin to land'em safely. That's the plan.

Couldn't believe that this thing can be steered or even be landed until I just tried. On Gilly. Was a hell of a unstable ride...

Unfortunately, I have the feeling that's not very legal (it's not quite illegal, but who knows) and to many folks store to much data about just any binary traffic. I have no Intention to get friendly letters from an attorney.

And IT spoke (reverse, spanish, surely), there be Boosters. And there were Boosters. And IT spoke (even more reverse, spanish), there be Struts. And there were Struts. And then IT thought (reverse, spanish, the other way around), there be pilots. And there were Pilots. At least kind of. And IT divided heavens from explosions, the heavens above, the explosions at the ground and in between. And then IT gave the Pilots a completely ridiculous way of flying, and spoke: Fly (spanish, reverse, of course). And the Pilots did fly. And they called themselves Kerbals. And IT watched them fly and was happy with what he created (in spanish, reverse, as it is). NEMA!

Thanx to GEMA a..h.l.s: no lough for me.

OK. 4700 km are quite unreasonable (for me). I'll try a probe at something like 2 Kerbol radia. That would result in a 525 000 km x 525 000 km orbit. That should be well in the corona of Kerbol, if I take the sun and it's corona as base. Thanks.

Hi there. Somewhere was a post, how close one may approach Kerbol. But I can't find it, the search function leaves me alone. So here is my question: How close may a unmanned probe get to Kerbol before it is melting away? -Kia

I guess, in QA-Phase they do something like the good old 20:80 testing. Test 80% of the most common use cases with 20% of the testing effort. And the most of the technical stuff, like "does it compile", "may the game be started", I guess they do kind of regression tests, fly some predefined rockets (aka Stock-Crafts) and so on. The 80% of functional testing effort will be done in what they call "Experimental". I think, this is mostly unstructured, wild testing, where clever people try to get the game crashed by doing weird things.

One of my friends demanded to plant a bavarian flag with the bavarian anthem in background. He insisted in a non-return Eeloo-Mission, just to prove that one can do it. Because of reasons. And so I designed a Apollostyle one way craft, and there we fly. Mission accomplished. I may provide a Vid, if anyone is interessted.

I celebrate that Luitpold of Bavaria got kicked ass by the hungarian forces on 4th of July 907. And the way of celebrating is hungarian Salami with fresh bread and a bottle of Pálinka. Word. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Feel a little tracked and sarcastic right now, when it comes to USA.

Walmart sells GUNS??? I thought, Walmart is something like a supermarket. That's kind of weird.

I want to thank Squad for giving me the experience of a sunrise at Duna. Thanks.

Get Jeb out to push the ship down!

Du kannst das auch in die andere Richtung. Man muss eben manchmal ein wenig raten. No further non-english posts. Promised. ^^

The first sentence means: "The dream is compelling: build your own rocket and explore space with it." After that, the article states, that the game provides the tools for starting satellites, space stations, refuelling stations and to do missions to the moon and other planets in a fictive solar system. And at the right it has something about a pioneer spirit, that the game transports (?) and that one may learn about Newtonian physics and orbits and that a moon landing "is a leap for kerbalkind" or some thing like that. I do not speak dutch, but as a german I get the sense of the text quite well, I think.

Can somebody please show pictures again? Thx.

Dreaming the "reach for the stars dream"; set foot on other worlds, even if it is only virtual. A lot of the story is going on in imagination. The game is like Lego, it is like a novel, one may write one's own cartoonish, kerbalish and epic space faring history. I will never leave earth physically, as I am to old, not fit enough. But my mind can leave earth. And when I play KSP, my mind is on the Moon, on Mars, in orbit around Venus, in my imagination, I touch down on Europa and Titan, I watch the sparkle of the Sun from Charon. I dream of expanding borders of mankind. I dream of the rumbling thunder from thousands of kN under my seat. I dream of hoovering over Saturn's Rings, of weightless existence between the stars. That is my fun in KSP.

That one made my day. But I am looking forward to crew management. Big thing would be a ressource system, but that won't happen before 0.3, I guess.

Attempting a SSTO, I found out that it should read Single Stage To Ocean.

OK. That's way over my budget. ^^
