Well, my biggest facepalm moment came earlier today, as a matter of fact. I was moving in for a rendezvous between my Mk-I capsule (with none other than Jeb Kerman at the helm) and a docking probe I launched previously, and everybody knows how tricky unmodded dockings can be sometimes! I drifted too far past the docking port so I overcompensated a bit and decided I would completely fly around and try again, but as I was passing I saw that one of my control surfaces was going to nick the probe... so I pressed the completely wrong RCS thrust button and... slammed into the probe, sending it spinning out of control. But wait, there's more! In a panicked attempt to kill my capsule's rotation, I freaked out and tried pressing frenzied combinations of thrusters, which culminated with me accidentally PRESSING THE SPACEBAR. So... Jeb Kerman was stuck in orbit with nothing but two radial parachutes, a Clamp-o-Tron Jr., and a decoupler to keep him company with absolutely no abort/retrofire capabilities whatsoever.

Behold, my fellow Kerbonauts... the Aldrin Munar Lander! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=172245294 This is only my second successful Munar Lander (the first, the Armstrong Munar Lander, was very unfortunately destroyed as i tried to correct its landing position to get a better screenshot of it ), and I named it such to honor Apollo 11 and all the prior missions that made it possible. The Aldrin ML is actually a modified Armstrong ML with a very slightly increased fuel capacity, and I modified it because when the Armstrong landed, it had only ~10 units of liquid fuel out of 400 or such, so I added the upper two tanks to slightly dampen my extreme landing anxiety (it is REALLY scary to land the first few landers especially after most of them have crashed, right?) So, what do y'all think?

R.I.P. Apollo 1, crew of two of NASA's most game-changing astronauts Ed White, Gus Grissom, and rookie Roger Chaffee. Ed White completed america's very first spacewalk (there's some great footage of it) and Gus was NASA's most experienced astronaut up until that point, going in both the Mercury capsules and flying the Gemini pods as well.

Hello, hello, hello! My name is Torg9776. I love space. Everything about it, from the mind-bogglingly huge expanses to the smallest of space rocks that burn and give us pretty fireworks here on Earth. KSP is truly a masterpiece of a game, and I must say that it is my new favorite! I have been playing for a few weeks now at this point, and I can do pretty well for myself... but I do have just one question to start off with: How can I easily have a large reserve of fuel for maneuvering while in orbit? It seems that I can always have enough fuel to get into orbit and come back down again, but that's it. Thank you guys!
