  1. I guess it can be seen as offensive to French people, but in my opinion it seems like just a harmless joke.
  2. Just docked the second big fuel tank! And it escaped. But it left the docking port behind! Thanks, stupid fuel tank
  3. UPDATE: After attempting to launch the lander back in to Dres orbit to save myself the time of designing another lander, it went almost perfectly. Apart from the two stranded astronauts in orbit.. without a capsule.. I dumped the empty fuel tanks and re docked the 6 nuclear engines just to make things look a little neater and also to make things easier when my rescue ship arrives. Then I set to work on launching and assembling all different bits of my refueller. First launch went well (it didn't) Eventually I got the first of 5 full orange fuel tanks in to LKO. My plan is to attach a whole mesh of nuclear engines and fire it roughly at Dres, in the hopes I can rescue my brave astronauts. I also need to think about a small shuttle design to pick up Jeb and Bill who are currently aimlessly floating around Dres in bizarre orbits..
  4. It would have made a lot more sense to abort back to Kerbin, but unfortunately Jeb got cheese sauce stuck in the orbital map and there was no knowledge as to where Kerbin was, so we decided to carry on with the mission. Cleaning supplies will be brought with the rescue ship
  5. For the ship in Dres orbit, thats the plan! Its the two guys on the surface I'm worried about, my pinpoint landings are terrible. I've also never had to send a tanker out in to interplanetary space, so this is a new and daunting experience
  6. Rescue mission it is! This is going to be one hell of a mission..
  7. After the resounding success of Deimos I, who made a successful return trip to Duna and back, the KSA planned a trip to a planet generally forgotten by the Kerbal race - Dres. It has no moon, no anomalies and attraction of any sort, but that won't stop Phobos I from going there anyway! The brave crew of Deimos I pose for a picture after their return to Kerbin. Eager to start my next mission, I assembled the Phobos I in orbit. The only difference between this and the Deimos was the lander. It had no chutes and also carried a small rover. I messed up my ejection burn horribly and I ended up completely missing Dres first time round, having to change it on the way back round the Sun. This was the view of the sun at my Ap.... looks cold. When I finally do reach Dres, it is at this point I realise the delta v requirements are a little different to Duna. I massively under packed on fuel and during my orbital insertion burn I had to steal about 75% of the landers fuel to finish it off. My mind immediately thinks to a rescue mission. Orbit secured, Bill and Jeb strap themselves in to the lander (fully aware they won't be coming back of course) and set off for the surface. Meanwhile, Bob breaks the news to Geofmal, the youngest astronaut to board a spaceship. Down goes the lander. Boom! Touchdown on a steep hill - good thing Jeb was at the helm. Bill has an issue with the rover... *sigh* Not even Bill can fix this.. Thats it thanks for reading, just thought I would actually post one of my missions that I did for once, except this one went horribly wrong. It was fun to plan all this out even if I did completely mess up all of my calculations, but oh well
  8. That is absolutely spot on perfect. Thanks!
  9. Good luck! Might be a good idea to link the stream will certainly watch when I have the time
  10. Could somebody please make me this with a white 'cloth' back ground and the initials W.S.W? Be very grateful http://josa.ro/en/logo.gif EDIT: Link not embedded as the photo is far far too big
  11. This would definitely add weight to the 'Kerbal Buffet' theory
  12. Pretty much exactly what happened to me except I wasn't good enough to land it near the arch and in the end I completely lost it :/
  13. Well, can't argue with that.
  14. I have to admit, I haven't actually seen Breaking Bad, so that went right over my head..
  15. Including the core, 7 modules is spot on it was really fun to put together and mess around one, would definitely recommend building one.
  16. *insert Breaking Bad joke here*
  17. The reason Jeb is so goddamn happy is because he's the only Kerbal to ever be classed clinically insane. As the original Jeb was such an interest to the Kerbal scientists, they cloned him time and time again to study his insane ways. One too many Jebs later, they broke out the science lab and headed to the Space Centre, which explains the abundance of happy-go-lucky Jebediahs popping up to pilot your spacecraft. As for Bill and Bob, space wizard done it.
  18. Yep - except it wasn't the cloud mod where it added clouds to all planetary bodies, it was just a Kerbin HD Cloud pack, so only Kerbin looks this good. I'll see if I can find where I got it from. EDIT: Here ya go http://www./download/ysne40basz7boo5/Kerbin8k-clouds.rar
  19. I built this micro-station a while back. All docked in orbit, but the modules were such an easy launch.
  20. In that case, what the hell is Kerbin?!
