Well I didn't have any particular favorites until last night, when I did my first intercontinental flight to locate, land at, and plant a flag on the second space center. My pilot was Orble Kerman. I would have preferred to send the Big Three, but apparently Jeb was hosting poker night at his place, so those three were out. I was wary, Orble being a new pilot, but he distinguished himself marvelously when, at about 18,000 meters above the Great Western Desert, my plane suffered some random unplanned disassembly. In short, I don't know what happened, but half of my starboard wing, with one of my engines still attached, broke away from the plane, and took one of the parachutes vital to my ejection system off with it. Naturally this put me in a lateral spin, and I go through the "Oh $%!^ we're gonna crash" checklist to try and get back under control, killing the engines, waggling my control surfaces, toggling SAS, praying to the Deep Space Kraken to be merciful. And Lo and behold I look down, and there's Orble, calm as a summer day in the cockpit. Eventually I was able to get some semblance of control, and the KAF-ICR 1(Kerbal Air Force Inter-Continental Recon) looked like it was going to be able to complete its mission, until I misjudged the landing and bounced of the ridge ringing the target, knocking all my remaining engines off, which then caused me to have to crash land. Fortunately Orble escaped unharmed and is currently acting as our ambassador to the Koviet Union while we draw up plans for a vehicle to go get him.

Heh. always good to see Jesse doing games I'm into. I've been following him (And TB and co.) since their WoWradio days (RIP). His tour of the Minecraft Middle Earth server was a huge event for that project, and helped bring a flood of new faces to the game, hopefully that'll do the same here.

Well I don't have any pics, because I didn't know how to take them back then (I do now). but my biggest fail was in making my Mun mining base, I had sent up a Mapsat and a Kethane Scanner satellite to pick a good landing site near a kethane pocket. my next mission was to send up a lander with a rover to scout the area. Ran out of fuel in the lander, so I crash landed, miraculously, the pod and the rover survived, but ended up almost 20km from my proposed landing site, So I said "Hey I can still do this," loaded Jeb into the rover, got it onto its wheels, and began scooting towards the site. Then it all went horribly wrong when I skipped off an errant bump, my rover flipped into the air, I managed to eject Jeb in time and soft land him thanks to his jet pack, but the rover was a complete loss. So now I have Jeb stuck in the middle of nowhere, and Bill and Bob are sitting in what's left of the lander, all awaiting me to build a rescue ship.

Pfft, Vankerver is so much better of a city This is a really cool mod, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

"Bow down ye mortals, before the might of the booster, though this one may be small, it only needeth many friends to turn the impossible, upside down." - Jebediah Kerman seriously though, I'm loving this challenge, the creativity being displayed is astounding and inspiring, I'm gonna have to take a whack at this one when I get my game back up and running (New computer, haven't gotten round to reinstalling everything.)

I dearly hope you plan on releasing this plugin for us plebes who cannot write our own code to use, voice commands on KSP would be so spectacularly novel, I could see myself trying to fly completely keyboardless (I'd call it the "Look Ma, no hands! Challenge")

Stompthompson and ThorLP both have some really good KSP vids, though neither has uploaded much in a while. Jonorig just listed off 2/3 of my subscription list :/

As has been said above, your only hope is to either redesign your ship, or use a combination MechJeb/Kerbal Alarm Clock. Other than that, I suppose you could always play in windowed mode and browse the internet while you wait, just don't forget to check in on your ship from time to time in case of spontaneous unplanned disassembly.

That was amazing, and hilarious to boot. Also, yay for my first post on the forums!
