when using science in sandbox "I'm sorry PLAYER NAME, I'm afraid I can't do that."

the thing that I don't like about the dev's choice is that if I never build a plane, but I go everywhere in the solar system and collect a hell lot of science points, the first time I try to build a plane I will have the advanced parts even though I never built one before...

I have a probe landed on Eeloo..nothing too close to the sun, only two probes on Eve

think about planes, to get around kerbin inside the atmosphere (so no time warp!) you would need days

aaaaargh dihydrogen monoxide is dangerous! Somebody save the world please!

The channel is minutephysics, but that video was a special with Neil deGrasse Tyson as "guest", so you won't find the same narrator in the other videos of him, they're very enjoyable anyway

I found this video on the argument really interesting..thought I could share it here

landing a rover on Eeloo with a skycrane...

What the heck? when things randomly explode...

is that a Soyuz replica?

SOOO many times hahahaha

well let's analyze the other bodies... the Sun: what? Moho: tilted orbit, small SOI (smaller than Duna) no atmosphere, overheating Eve: not difficult to land on, impossible to take off, plus there are oceans that can screw up your landing Gilly: minuscule SOI, tilted orbit Dres: small SOI (smaller than Duna) no atmosphere to aerobrake Moons of Jool: require a lot of dV to get to, many have a small SOI and only one of them has an atmosphere, some of them are just a pain to land on, like Tylo Eeloo: easy to land on but requires a lot of dV to get to in conclusion Duna doesn't require a lot of dV to get to, has an atmosphere that can slow you down and help your landing a lot (I landed on Duna only with parachutes many times), has no oceans, has a quite low gravity and it's easy to take off

the first docking is the next step after the first Mun landing congrats

I once decided to ride a kid sized bike. Downhill. On gravel. When I fell off a nice little rock decided to take the inside of my elbow as an home.

thank you! love 'em!

ciao a tutti capita solo a me che a volte la tastiera passi da QWERTY a QWERTZ senza un'apparente motivazione logica? Quando succede devo andare nelle impostazioni a cambiare manualmente tutti i comandi... oh e.. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/44578-Rover-on-Eeloo%21-With-skycrane-Curiosity-style%21 la mia ultima missione (: se vi interessa date un occhiata

I personally enjoy the fact that we have only one Moon...THE Moon..if we had two I think Moon 1 would still be considered the most important...but it wouldn't be the same thing..it wouldn't be that grey circle in the sky that made us dream for centuries and millennia...it wouldn't have the same..taste and mystery..if there were more than one

So, this is my second interplanetary mission and I was fascinated by that far, frozen ball of rock which is Eeloo, so I decided to put a small unmanned rover on it, I had trouble thinking on how to make a light lander that had enough deltaV to land on Eeloo..so I took inspiration by the Curiosity rover and I used a skycrane! For those of you who don't know about Curiosity rover and it's skycrane...well, how's life under that rock? Anyway, basically the Curiosity rover on Mars was landed with engines above it and dropped with some cables on the ground, the skycrane was then flown away safely, I couldn't use cables in KSP but oh well... I know it's a pretty average mission, nothing special, but I'm not a pro at KSP and I was pretty proud of myself when I finished this, in particular for the skycrane part, so I decided to share it here here is the log! Ready for launch got an encounter, I guess I couldn't ask for a more efficient one! Oh god...will I have enough fuel to slow down? Yep, I had, hi Eeloo, slowing down for an orbit! Got a stable, equatorial, circular 30 km orbit Coming in for landing... Releasing the skycrane! (couldn't take a better photo cause the moment was so tense O_O) KABOOM! And here's my buggy, finally landed on Eeloo

I doubt that in this moment Neil Armstrong really cares of history books, being he dead, so I would prefer more time on the Moon. Of course this doesn't apply if you believe in Heaven or in some other sort of "life after death", which I don't

You'll find out that Minmus is way easier than Mun

be hired as a ksp developer/tester

I did my first complete mission to Duna and back with assemble in orbit and orbital module around Duna, then I made my first space station in a geostationary orbit
