Oh wow, is that an RCS-powered hovering ship? It would be awesome if we could make a probe like that, like the probe from the beginning of Star Wars Episode V.

Oh, well, thanks. I'm also going to make an album of putting the Habitation Module into orbit and docking it with the new Icarus, but I apparently have no idea how to make albums.

I'll just post images since it didn't work. Here is the Pegasus going into orbit. The Pegasus is controlled by a probe core with no need for pilots, but it needs to be powered by four 2-by-3 solar panels located around the craft. Here is Jeb using a jetpack to maneuver towards the command pod. Success! Jeb is safely inside the ship! The Pegasus preparing for a de-orbiting maneuver. The pod, now without it's fuel stage, parachutes down to the surface. And she lands just in time with the Kerbol sunrise. Jebediah was not injured, and the craft is being refitted to hold 3 Kerbals. The Icarus was scuttled, and a new copy is being placed into orbit (will be seen in a different post.)

Hello, ladies and gents! I had to de-orbit the Icarus to get another version into a lower Kerbin orbit. However, Jebediah was still inside the command module. I had to build a single-person rescue pod, nicknamed the Pegasus. Here is an album of the event. <iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="http://imgur.com/a/VPK43/embed"></iframe>

Oh, space. So beautiful. However, on this day, rookie captain Herrim Kerman was left in charge of the now out-of-date Perseus Space Station, waiting for the primary crew to return to the ship with an extra escape pod and a fuel tank to refuel the ship with for automatic de-orbiting. However, danger was on the horizon. The Perseus was on a collision course with the new Icarus Station, which was recently put into orbit. Herrim decided to do the only thing he could do. He used the old engines to de-orbit manually, even though he had no escape pod to go into. As the Perseus drifted along, with its periapsis slowly drifting into Kerbin's atmosphere, Herrim radioed Mission Control. He told them that he would be dead, but the 5 Kerbalnauts aboard the Icarus would be saved. As the engine ran out of fuel, he could only watch from the capsule as his ship lowered into the atmosphere. Oh Herrim. So brave, yet so stupid. The young explorer had always wanted to go into space, and to be a hero. To do both as his last actions was a dream come true. However, has Mission Control recorded his last EVA, they just thought he was showing off. Sure, it started off as a joke between him and Jebediah about who would be the first to survive atmospheric re-entry without being inside a ship, but he still wanted to make it happen. As the story spread across the world, people pointed their telescopes to the skies. This image, taken by Jebediah while back at Mission Control, shows the solar panels being ripped off from the ship during re-entry. As the ship decreased in speed, Herrim was torn off from the rest of the capsule. The very suit keeping him safe from depressurization was melting around him from the friction. The sun blinded him as he sped through the atmosphere like a living bullet. The only way this could be worse is if the Space Kraken himself was attacking him. He finally slowed down, and the friction stopped. The whistling of the wind flowing past his helmet was the only thing he could hear. The last words recorded from his helmet-mic were captured by Mission Control just before splashdown. Here am I falling in my tin can, last glimpse of the world. Planet Kerbin is blue, and there's nothing left to do.

Well, I mean not mods such as ones that change the graphics like water. Part mods like Kosmos and Mechjeb work just fine.

No, it wasn't a mod. Trust me, my computer can't handle mods at all.

The Icarus Space Station Habitation Module encountered some... problems while going into orbit to rendezvous with the Icarus Space Station Core, which had just been sent into orbit earlier that week. One of the four engines somehow ran out of fuel early, causing the ship to go out of control, screwing up the direction. Even Mechjeb couldn't save it. This image is of the Icarus Space Station Core in the middle of a circularizing burn, still attached to the main engines. The usage of Mechjeb caused a glitch to occur. It caused the stage to occur early, destroying the main engines and leaving the capsule on its own. Here are two pictures recorded from the wreckage. The first is of the sun setting over Kerbin from inside the cabin, and the second is the small fuselage that was unaffected by the main explosion, but torn off by the Mechjeb staging glitch. This shot is from the outside of the ship, after all the solar panels were ripped off from the main body during re-entry. This is the final image, found in a camera floating near the wreckage. Despite the speed of impact destroying most of the ship, the camera holding this image was somehow saved. The image is believed to have been taken by the late co-pilot of the ship, Kirlobb Kerman, at the exact moment of impact when the ship meets the water. None of the bodies of the two pilots or the four crewmembers in the habitation area were ever found. A new mission is being planned, but we must first find out why the one engine ran out of fuel before all the others.
