I suspect that, at best, it'd cme out even, but skimming the ground and using a retroburn would likely be more efficient, I think. boosting parallel to gravity usually wastes a lot of fuel, in my experience.

I'm good at making things look freaking ugly, if that counts for anything.

Hey, here's an idea: Someone with an artistic streak should make a banner for our sigs that says something to the effect of "I donated to the whackfund" or something. Whackjob, your blessing on that idea would be ample payment, if you're dead set on giving back. I'd work on it, but the best I could do is stick figures

ah, that makes sense

Dude, you're lucky. WI is a far cry from CA. Wht is GDC, btw?

I usually disable it on both ships. Have I been doing it wrong all this time?

Guys, I've been waiting now for about a half hour for these two things to stop wobbling and actually dock. Ran out of RCS fuel, too, mind you. I suspect it will take another hour, considering the ship on the right is the small one at a measly 128 tons I couldn't get a shot that showed the whole station on the left without losing sight of the ship on the right due to how large it is and how much I'd need to zoom out. I hope 100 tons of EL Ore gets me plenty of rocket parts.

if you're going that route, sould get a tattoo. That'd be something I'd help fund also. Perhaps my point didn't come across: I will give to you because I want to help (as with the people on this thread, I suspect), not because I ever thought you could/would pay me back. Along that same vein, though, it sounds like you want to show your appreciation, and so I won't try and discourage you. Any bit I can do to help is worth it to help someone who is quintessentially Kerbal.

Rumors of his death have been somewhat exaggerated, for those who haven't already seen this

Dude, you can't earn a gift. What's the point of a community if we can't help each other out without expecting anything in return. That said, we can't stop you from completing your magnum opus in celebration of your new machine. As for me, I've got a pathological need to feel helpful, so expect some moolah from me shortly.

I suspect self-sacrifice is a concept not reserved solely for Christians, my friend

This definitely sounds useful. I might have to try and do this too maybe if I melt my current computer, I'll have an excuse to build a better one

You have time to sleep?

Is it still base jumping if its from orbit?

No kidding, it's like a Christmas tree of boom

For real though, who's jimmies did you have to rustle to get in touch with freaking NASA?(that does sound bad) I'm only the millionth to say it, but the whole idea of this mission pack is really cool to me. No, I'm equally excited for both, so I'm kind of on your side. I do kind of want to cause an asteroid apocolypse, though.

No, would you like to be?

I don't think this is a bad thing On a side note, if you go way out away from the city at night and look up, eventually you'll notice quite a few satellites. And if you see a real big one that starts to get brighter and it freaks you out and makes all your family laugh at you, it might just be the ISS.

Michigan, eh. you must be getting a lot of KSP in with your car buried under two feet of snow

I'm going to say 700, because why not.

My buddy told me about it after a particularly pedantic space rant on my part.

I wonder how you'd go about mining resourses from another craft I guess it'd make for an interesting mechanic once multiplayer happens, if you can steal somebody elses fuel, that is.

I clearly don't dream big enough, as most of my designs stay below 200 parts. Although I also don't have a very solid computer, so I guess I've possibly just been conditioned to build smaller rather than bigger.

All I know is that your name is applicable

Purposefully strand kerbals all over the place. Chances are some part of you will want to leave them there, but hopefully enough of you will want to bring them back
