Insertion Burn with/without Ike Gravity Assist Aerobraking was often very dangerous, both to Proteus and Kadmos; once they enter the atmosphere the ship could fall apart for all we know. When they use fusion engines they at least have some safety measures that would terminate the burn; also, they have control over deltaV unlike in case of aerobraking. Additionally, Ike gravity assist can provide savings of several hundred m/s as well, reducing the length of the required burn and thus reducing a chance of potential malfunction.

Strangely enough, when I try to launch a rocket with KWRocketry installed it immediately crashes and I have no idea why. It doesn't freeze or anything beforehand.

I knew that hoping for things to go according to plan was too much. Great chapter!

Well, WHERE is it?

I wonder when Macey will make a public announcement about the new project.

I personally enjoy seeing things that happen off-screen. It gives some nice context as to why something is where it is, and of course gives us some more cool pictures to look at.

This is such an emotional rollercoaster. Despite it being a realistic story, I hope for a 'good' ending. Think Mass Effect style; you can't save exactly everything, but the losses won't overshadow the victory.

Are you saying that BERTY encountered a paradox that messed with his logical unit?

He did see this as wrong, and did say to Rozer that he was confused; the violation of First Law conflicted with his ethical circuitry and caused a system reboot.

That bastard......I hope he'll slowly die from asphyxiation on Duna. So BERTY was more or less innocent and orders were conflicting even with his ethical 'views.'

I see what you did there.

This anticipation is driving me crazy! Not saying it's not good, just that it's making me mad. I want to punch Mission Control, Rozer and every one of them in the face! WHY WON'T THEY TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON? MY HEAD FEELS WEIRD, I WANT ANS.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY-03vYYAjA

Wonder if Mission Control did put in safety killswitch in case the AI goes haywire...Just checking. Just in case.

Oh crap. ABORT, ABORT.

BERTY can't control the Kerbalnauts' suits in any way....Right?
