Gargamel

Having not seen these parts packs before, I'm looking forward to the DLC. Being a Clevelander myself, I should really get out there for Yuri's night....

Completely OT, but that reminds me of a quote attributed to Daniel Boone: "I was never lost, but I was mighty confused for a few months".

Yes, easily with a Kraken drive, or unlimited fuel cheat enabled. I've done both, Kraken by accident, cheating not by accident. KSP doesn't model relativistic effects, so theoretically it's possible. Enough fuel and you can reach any speed you want. Practical, no.

Thank you sir! I missed that in the manual. I have no idea why that didn't occur to me... my bad.

Very good point! A hopper may your best bet. The only rovers I've used on minmus have been multi ton tanker trucks for ore, and they took a while to stop too.

Move the panels so you can mount a couple Octogonal struts to the top, inline with the COM, plop a tiny separator or docking to it, and then attach that to to bottom of your lander. Do something similar to then mount it to the transfer stage of your rocket. Adjust as needed. That way it will be suspended beneath the lander, and gently plop down upon release. Make sure the lander legs are tall enough to allow for the rover, you want to land on the legs, not the rover. Or take a look at the skycrane premade rover, and do something similar, and land it near your lander. And since it's minmus, you can lose the ladders, the kerbals can easily jump over the rover, and probably the lander too. Save on the part count and FPS.

What time is the TMI burn supposed to happen? (EST please)

The key to doing a gravity turn is to throw yourself at the ground, and miss. (Sorry, SpaceX and the HGTG onboard has me all goofy tonight!)

Boooooooo! But understandable. But I hope the cameras last long enough so that Earth is eventually too small to really make out, after that, Unless they get a close flyby of mars by accident, they won't show much but the car.

There might already be a mod for this, but if not, somebody needs to make a Tesla roadster, in that custom color, with a command seat in it, so we can recreate those beautiful images SpaceX is beaming back to us right now.

Yeah, but the dang thing is full of batteries right? If they can go 200 miles at high amp draw, they should be able to go quite a while with just some web cams drawing power....

OMG, they switched to the view of the engine bell.... That's the death star I said out loud! Oh that's an easy one... they'll just say it's CGI. I have a hard time believing it's not, the images are so surreal.

That's the tea boiling off.....

Some official word would be nice...

Dang you.... I kept hitting play.... That's why they included the towel!

Elon has seemed to make his loving turning normal convention on it's head. I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to mars just because the naysayers say he can't.

If we stretch the meaning of driven.... a lot..... then..... ^RE: Tesla

Yeah, but those other there didn't have air-con, or bluetooth. But I'm kinda sure they had some form of satnav. Maybe not....

Obvious ROI, no, but long term some of his ventures could turn out to be worth more than all the losing ones combined. He's just positioning himself to be in the right place at the right time. While Spacex has to turn a, non or minimal loss lets call it, it will lure many more investors to his other companies. There is more to be gained from going to mars than just immediate profit.

Any word on if they put a bench of sensors in the space suit? It'd be a great way to get feedback on it's effeciency.

He.... He.... He just launched a car to Mars........

Even newegg is concerned:

I'm wondering if they put a minimal amount of air in the tires, or did they just drill holes in them?

No it's not, it's a commitment problem.

Only wanted the gif... but oh well:
