Do you know of any possible way to change the default music? A great add to this mod would be the ability to toggle sounds, and also change the default music (I.E. VAB/SPH music, orbit/space music, and title music)

Jebediah's Vall Adventure Hello everyone! This is an extremely picture heavy documentation of Jebediah's mission to Vall which originally started as an entry to this forum, but quickly grew into something more I think If the album below isn't loading, Here's a link: Vall adventure I hope you guys liked it! (if you actually read it :I)

I didn't even check my ships mass :I I kinda just shoved it full of as much fuel as I could within reason and had a small stage I thought I could land with. This was actually my first flight without any use of mechjeb or flight control there. I didn't even bother checking Delta-v (which is why I couldn't make it back in the same flight) I used mechjeb for my rescue mission time window and Delta-v though. Nothing more

It looks like a blackbird? xD I didn't think of that you're right! I'll put the link here when ready: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/58923-Jeb-s-Vall-Adventure%21-%28-VERY-pic-heavy%29?p=791389#post791389

*I moved this post down to the actual link*

Yeah I guess an atomic engine with 184-ish fuel left (a bit over the standard fuel container) won't be enough for a return mission. I'm guessing I'll need to send a new ship to dock and switch Jeb with.

Welp, I was hoping to finish this today but I guess not. I still need to return Jeb. All screenshots are done and science collected. Here's a shot for you guys of Jeb in preparation for Jool ejection back home:

MISSION CLOSURE SOON Jeb is on the ground rolling towards the anomally. It appears to be a very large assortment of pointy spikes... could be dangerous. (camera turned backwards for suspense )

He decided to hop on I think :I Its been a while since I launched that mission. I hope to be finishing it soon though! Oh and only room for one. So I guess you could say Jeb is the only Kerbin who would stay in his normal mind for a number of years alone in space.

Not in the challenge :/ If you are going to use parachutes its ok to lift off to slow down a bit, but I don't want you guys to be flying while entering.

I'm up for the challenge

It seems as though everyone is arguing that water on the surface would be frozen at 4 Celsius if it had a thick atmosphere or not or evaporated away if higher. NEWSFLASH: Water doesn't always freeze at bellow 0 Celsius! - Lakes and large bodies of water (I.E. Oceans and Laythe) have enough tidal heating and enough average temperature that the waters stay barely above freezing. Only if the entire surface is cooled enough does the water melt. I think that the surface would rapidly change temperature I'm with all you guys with Photosynthesis in the deep oceans putting out enough oxygen. Really though, In KSP Laythe has liquid water that is still on the planet, not frozen, and is 4 Celsius. How this is I have no clue other than for science! P.S. Don't credit any of that ^

Of course! just no ALT + F12

Wide wheels, and put the center of lift behind the center of mass. Make the wheels VERY stable :/ can't really explain. it depends on the car.

If they aren't rolling the entire time does it still count?

I can't enter because I sorta made this challenge but, Here's how fast I went without any engines (not on runway of course) 175 m/s (is says liftoff because I used seperatrons to blast off my lander can

No leaving the runway meaning you need to break on the runway sorry D:

Sweet! thats faster than my Kobra went. I'll take your word!

Disclaimer: I have heard there was another forum with a similar idea, but I want a new fresh forum and am hoping this suits you guys I have seen races and other awesome challenges, but I have a real world challenge for you guys! Fastest speed on groundHere's some inspiration I am holding a contest to see who can achieve the fastest speed over land on Kerbin! This means that your entry must not leave the ground from the point you begin your run - No picking up speed in air and landing. Here are the three lanes of entry! Fastest speed on runway (vehicle cannot leave the runway even for braking) 634 m/s (Rhomphaia) - - - Fastest speed (not on runway) 400.6 m/s (Bobnova) - - - Fastest speed without engines (No jet engines, mainsails, Xenon, RCS, or other means of movement other than wings and wheels - intakes ok as long as no engine!) 80.7 m/s (Sirine) - - - VEHICLES FOR ALL ENTRIES MUST HAVE: wheels At least 1 Kerbin (external seats are obviously allowed. Probe cores allowed for operation) Ability to stop (I want the cars to be somewhat feasible) NO PART CLIPPING VIA ALT+F12! Not many restrictions eh! FOR ENTRY You need: A picture of your vehicle in the SPH/VAB A picture of your vehicle at the start A picture of your vehicle at its max speed (or a pic of your flight report) NAME OF CATEGORY ENTERED! Good luck!

good point sir. I shall move it.

I have moved this to its PROPER place in Challenges :I. Thanks RocketTurtle

A Kraken was hiding out in its tower!

It's actually impossible to build a plane in KSP without any wings due to mechanics of drag vs. lift (only wings have "lift" everything else has drag to my understanding). This one has its wings INSIDE it. Soooooooooo technically its not a true "lifting body" aircraft but its as close as it can get! And its just about as close to the actual aircraft as I'm willing to try

luckily a stray SRB was able to break their fall

I could if you want All it'd need is to replace 2 tanks with space fuel, add a rocket engine, and internal airhog to the max... It'd probably be un-landable with all the weight though. Unless I added more lift... Well, its worth a try!
