"Ill just leave the Keyboard for a second..." My Mun Lander I had worked on for hours then smashed into a crater on the mun. or my favorite "Should I be pitching to one side?" I was coming in for my second attempt at the mun and I hadn't learned how to burn retrograde, for landings I just burned straight up. killed my vertical velocity but not my horizontal...

Not sure where, but it seems like a really cool opportunity! I wonder if it will be available to high-schools?

I think the observatory would really tie together the whole career mode feel of discovery and science. Along with cameras for probes it would be a great addition!

These are my two favorites. Not sure when these are from though...

I perfected my Space Plane and am trying to dock it to my station, but my RCS translations won't work. I, K, H, and N all work but my side to side : J and L wont do anything. The thrusters don't even fire!

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER I was just thinking how fun it would be to have a "Gravity" themed scenario in KSP,. Every 15 minutes or so a wave of debris could come by and you have to get to the space station and then use sepratrons to get to the Chinese station and back to earth. This would be fun. I think even Jeb would be scared Your thoughts?

This is the design I eventually came up with. Works great. Not sure if it has enough fuel to rendezvous and dock with my station, but either way I just made my first SSTO!

That would be great.

Has anyone ever sent a probe ( or a manned capsule...) into the sun? I think i'm going to have to try that...

At first the music was a great improvement, but after hours listening to the SAME jazz tune in the VAB, I just play with music off.

Well, a friend recommended that I add flaps to the front of the capsule, but still make sure the CoL is behind the CoG. This worked great! Although I do have to keep the nose up manually around 20000m-40000m, its been working great! I wouldv'e used turbo but Im building this is career mode. And the RCS is to dock to my refueling station.

The I re-did the engines with angle snap... still drops at about 12000m. I didn't know how fuel flows, but know that I do I understand why the foremost tank was draining.

I tried moving the CoL back, but that caused it to start dropping even earlier.

I'm working on my first SSTO. I started and was able to get it int orbit, but wasn't left with any fuel. After making modifications, at 14000m or so, the nose starts to drop. I mash the S key, but it stays low and slowly starts dropping. At this point only my jet engines are going. I have enough air intakes to use the jets until about 20000m, so those are not the problem. The CoL is just barely behind the CoG and I haven't had any problems with stability. Also, I noticed, even when only the jets are going, my rocket fuel slowly depletes.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Also, it IS symmetrical.

I have recently been working on a space plane capable of taking me to orbit, and I have run into a little problem. Everytime I take off of the run way, it twists to the right immediately. If i do not have my ASAS on, then the whole thing flips out of control, sometimes even when ASAS is on. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I have recntly have been playing with a few mods, which I like, but they just add TOO MANY PARTS (cough cough KW Rocketry). I think I'm going to delete all the mods and start a new game. So I was wondering what you have to say on the subject. Do you play with mods? what are the pros and cons of playing with them?
