In addition to the obscene numbers of spam calls ive been getting, im getting spam texts one was funny. It said something along the lines of: “You have visited a harmful website that is charging you hidden fees.” And it went on with a url i need to click to stop these fees. Scam obviously. Funny thing is I visited 4 websites and 4 only in the last 24 hours. This one, google, imdb, and one for an upcoming renaissance fair im going to. So watch out for the kraken charging you also gotten 2 about some loan but they both opened so professionally: Youre impossible to reach. ROFL! At least im finding some humor in the insanity. 175802072025

57. 57 more spam calls taking the tally to 287!!!! This is just obscene. 287… 165402062025 288… guys whats with this obscene surge in spam calls? I have a suspicion…1-26-25 till now 288 spam calls… 170302062025170602062025 289… 173102062025 290… 173502062025 291… 174102062025 292… 174502062925 as of this edit 62 spam calls in 1 day is an obscene record. 292 since 1-26-2025… im hating this. I cant make this stop. I COULD change numbers but i wont for private and personal reasons. Im losing my mind. 292… 193902062025 i just recounted because i couldnt shake this feeling my count was off. It was. 284 not 292. Still bad. Still a lot. Too much. My count glitched, dunno where. official retally is: 284. 284… 220202062025

Show off your Debris Near Misses here!
AlamoVampire replied to AlamoVampire's topic in KSP1 Discussion
another exciting near miss during re-entry! initially passed by me at less than 100m. At these speeds, impact would hurt. a lot. 021802062025 come on guys, show off your near misses by debris! -
I know that HEB is "big" in texas and has run groceries out of the area, but, unless you are in texas or have passed through it, its surprising to see it mentioned. I mean unless you have watched NBA games with either the rockets, mavericks, and or spurs and seen the store advertised on the screens in the arenas. And no, the teams are not named in any order beyond hey, its KSP so rockets get named first for nerdy sake, but, beyond that, no special order lol. 021602062025 new page initiated

I just had a jaw dropping experience on a routine Mun mission. I was gathering science, and the mission was going smoothly for the most part. Had that odd and irritating glitch where the Off Set tool shows up randomly and refuses to go away. Only way I can find for right now, and even this has about a 45% success rate, to make this thing vanish is to open an inventory and move an item around. Hit or miss if it works. Still have not tried the change scene thing yet. But, thats NOT the jaw dropper. Not even close. This ship, as you see it, if fully fueled <and when I did my TKI or Trans-Kerbin Injection burn, at engine ignition had 1663 m/s of dV. Enough to do the job and then some. By time I managed to convince this thing that running into the mun on our return trip was NOT wanted <I swear it kept giving me encounters with the Mun as I did the node, and I didnt see it at first> and managed to make a positive trajectory with the atmosphere at 35km above the ground, I had, and I kid you not 163m/s dV left. I was soo shocked I failed to get a picture of it. These two things in that picture conspired together to make my jaw drop. I just know it! it was the most headscratchingly funny thing to happen in recent times. A great break of the saga of spam calls, which sadly is at 230 and climbing each day... 021302062025

The parade of spam continues sadly. 37 so far today. New tally is 226. 170302052025 227 171102052025 I just checked with the do not call registry and each of those 227 calls violated the law. My numbers been registered since 2009… not that matters apparently… 171702052025 228 172602052025 229 172902052025 230 175902052025

39. 39 more hit whilst I was asleep. Tally since 01-26-2025 now stands at 186. If the Do Not Call stops even a fraction i will be happy. Laws are dual state. Proactive for those who will obey and reactive for who wont. Same with the registry. But if im on the registry each of those calls can cost the caller between $1500 and $50k if i sue or file claims with the ftc. 163102042025 187 163302042025 188 165302042025 189 165902041025 170002042025 (fat fingered that edit from 188 into 189, didnt like not clarifying) 170902042025

It is early AM for me, and the sun is just coming up. I am soon to retire to sleep, but, a nagging thought wont let me alone. If I got north of 50 spam calls yesterday, what will today bring? Later in the day, sometime this afternoon I will be checking with the National Do Not Call registry here in the US to see if my number is registered and register it if it isnt. Will that help? Maybe? I hope it does. But, as I said earlier in this thread, I have my phone now set to silence calls from unknown callers, so my phone will not be skittering around like a demon possessed buzzing maraca at least. But, what will the number of spam calls be? I just hope the lull comes sooner rather than later... wish my poor cellphone luck guys. Wish my sanity luck too! 072102042025

did another minmus mission earlier, the same one that sparked the question in my thread stupid eva construction question, when this happened on my way to minmus shortly after seeing that eclipse, Bob did an EVA and found himself gawking at the KSC down below him! After gazing at the KSC for a moment, Bob grabbed the science he was outside getting before gawking at the KSC and returned inside to continue his trip to Minmus with Bill and Jeb. About half way to Minmus, the guys got a treat and rock paper scissored to go outside to gawk at a beautiful sight of the Mun and Minmus flanking Kerbol. The guys made it to Minmus, grabbed some peaceful samples, left some peaceful science experiments next to a giant Olivine formation, and Bob decided to once again be a goofball and do this: After doing a rather high and graceful flip, the gymnast scientist got back into Minmus 3 <third gen Minmus ship> and went back to Kerbin. 054102042025 new page! Ok, rather than make a new post, I will just add to this one. The mission you see above is part of what got me to what I was just doing which will be below lol. I unlocked the large 2.5m probe core and battery thanks to the above mission and some science farming on Station 1 along with multiple missions prior to the above. I was working for those 2 items to start rebuilding my Relay Network. I borrowed the design for the relay from my prime save and built it again in my science save. I also built a Delta IV Heavy inspired lifter that, lets be honest, is OVERKILL for this thing for a 500km orbit. I have 4 of this new relay up at about 500km doing 1 orbit every 1 hour 4 minutes and 10 seconds. If what I understand and have been re-informed of on why my geostationary relays keep wandering, that if I have them locked into the same period they should stay as I have them. 1-3 were simple enough to lift into their places, but number 4, because at 500km 3 are kinda hard for me at least to space right so they all see each other, so, I use 4, but that 4th was a bear to get slotted in. Took me several attempts to place it right. Its still not perfect, but, all 4 are in temporal lock step and can link a ring around Kerbin, so, Im saying thats good enough lol. Gen 4 Comm Net Satellite 1 <all 4 are identical> pictured here on the pad. Climbing to cruising err orbital altitude . This was the only one to get a full daylight ride to circularization. The rest spent time on the night side of the planet. I am frankly not sure which of the 4 this one is, and I JUST took this picture not 3 minutes ago ROFL. But, this is the 4th Generation Comm Net Relay satellite in its 1h4m10s orbit at 500km or there abouts. Gotta say, I am NOT looking forward to punting 3-4 of these into geostationary. Higher one goes, the rougher the time it seems on getting good spacing. Since I mentioned it, here is Station 1 with its modular science ship docked. Again, its not much of a station, but, hey, its getting the job done right? 071802042025

really stupid eva construction question
AlamoVampire replied to AlamoVampire's topic in KSP1 Discussion
@Bej Kerman ill try that if it happens again. A “work around” i found is just pulling at it until it goes “behind the camera” lol. Irritating nonetheless 053202042025
