Not sure if troll... I don\'t think that\'s quite how to get this type of thing done.

I find it hard to believe the Saturn tanks weren\'t insulated. Anyways, having two of each tank in different skins seems a bit redundant. Not to mention the system clogging.

I like the saturn designs too. Classic space.

Oh you. Skyrim isn\'t an excuse.

Right click + drag isn\'t working?

Is this significantly different from the test version I got? Worked great, btw.

hai d00d maek gud scienc plox. conga rats, Feragorn.

Wut.

Not sure whether that picture was taken during an Earth phase, or just in view of the terminator. I don\'t think Earth has phases.

KubLab is a space station.

Plus ASAS and RCS are all wonky, so you get underpowered RCS trying to hold an overpowered ASAS module stable. Which means you flip around and around in space.

Well, try looking for the packs that advertise lander parts. Less than a minute gives me at least three.

Allow me to direct you to where you will find them. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?action=search;params=eJwtzUEOwiAQheGrGDdu3qIDteppCIVJqqFMA1RjwuEF090_X_Iy1r9tdOzrpQ71XOfUS0MRCEpjBA2YQFfQiAfuuIEUSINaTG2QF_kYJ-sWuHCbdtrnF7tiJIbvIZJKq8SB_98OMv6ZGnvOrgvb5JZ2ryLxtNlU8g9fjTYt

It\'s doable on WASD as well.

You\'re not moving as far or as quickly as a rocket. And you\'ll still land on the coin because you\'re being moved at the same speed the coin is. While lateral force is imparted onto the rocket, as the rocket travels against the force (i.e. straight up), it can\'t overcome all of it. Which is why you don\'t see the KSC a quarter revolution away by the time you get to 20000 meters. You can only overcome so much force, and the rest still affects the rocket.

Actually retooling the design so the command pod is on the deployed spaceplane. It\'s a bit trickier.

Yep. On another forum like this one, the admins reset the entire system to run on time spent online. Cut down on spam quite a bit.

More weight to center of gravity, maybe?

Rotate rocket 90 degrees so its facing east, add ASAS. It leans due to momentum imparted on it by the rotating planet.

This was a small testing platform for the feasibility of different spaceplane deployment methods. It was designed with three main goals: 1. Demonstrate that an asymmetrical piggyback launch vehicle can lift and deploy a spaceplane at High Altitude/Low Orbit. 2. Demonstrate that the launch vehicle will not disintegrate on the pad, or during ascent. 3. Demonstrate successful return of deployed spaceplane (here defined as sustained period of gliding) and return of Kerbal Capsule. VAB View of Launch Vehicle: As you can see, there are two large RCS modules mounted to the sides of the main tank for stability. They can hold the rocket in place pretty well. They\'re absolutely required nearing the low orbit deployment phase of the mission. Just after launch. Ascent is proceeding well. No signs of structural failures. RCS modules holding rocket on course. Launch vehicle is turning to enter the deployment phase of the mission. Moment of deployment. Everything going smoothly. Main launch vehicle returning to Kerbin, deployed spaceplane visible in background, gliding down.

Anyone tried a Kerpollo 13 slingshot trajectory?

Like he said, the orbit\'s center is not on Kerbal\'s center. Doesn\'t mean it isn\'t circular.

Hm... This makes me want to start compiling my engineering into an aerospace company. Very good-looking designs. I quite like the Condor.

Ah. Makes sense.

For whatever reason the Ultralight 8 will have one wing break or snap near the back of the fuselage. Then it\'ll spiral out of control and shit. I nearly managed to land it on one wing though.
