Look at the mission timer. 1 min 41 seconds. Yeeaaaaaaaaah... And the engine broke off. I need to fix it a little bit... (I commented the CFG files to tell me the original values. That's good.)

3.5/10 Been seeing you more and more lately. Heyo!

Booyah! Your turn.

Actually, I made it go that fast. I was suddenly compelled to reach Lightspeed, so I *cough*editedsomeconfigs*cough* And that is the result of a 5 second burn when an engine has 100,000 thrust. EDIT: That is over 65 times the speed of light. Plaid, anyone?

AAAAAAAAGGH!!! Just so you know, the Kraken doesn't like things going that fast.

Oh, dear.

10/10 Eyup.

Nope to all of the above. Who wants a hint?

I got it home safe and sound. With no fuel left. Too close. Next time, perhaps a NERVA would be better.

YEAH!!! I told you I gotz this! Now for landing. Whoo. I've got the big landing legs on it, plus 8 'chutes. Should be fine.

Who says that the old way is not the best way? I just fiddled around with the maneuver nodes and POW! I think I have enough RCS to do it. EDIT: Revised the node, only 815 m/s EDIT2: Now only 630!

I don't got this.... This is following the Protractor mod. I'm short over 300 m/s. Crud. My problem? I was stuck either 3 days before or 3 days after the transfer window, because my orbit takes 6 days to complete. I'll try what the calculator said. Again, what do I have to lose?

Floor 746: You are now walking on the ceiling, which is rather disorienting.

A few times. 4 of 10.

Nevermind: Year 7, day 300-ish. I used the calculator and it showed me an ejection of around 520 m/s plus a plane change of 130 m/s I've got this. My motto. You should see my save, it's full of quicksaves.

And I'm in Year 6. So yeah.

I discovered that 10% thrust with an ANT engine is necessary at Gilly.

Heh. I'll wing it. I've got Protractor installed, and it's fairly accurate. Right now, the question is not how much Delta-V, but how much battery my laptop has. Should I go for it?

The rocket has ~800 m/s left, plus x m/s in RCS fuel, plus getting out and pushin'. And um... *sly laugh* I am known to kick just a little bit with "Infinite Fuel." I think I can get home. Remember, those measurements are from Low Eve Orbit, not Gilly orbit. At apoasis (Gilly apoapsis) I'll circularize and have a high Eve orbit. EDIT: Plus rescue missions. I do like those.

Righty-ho. Now I just need to get home.

Little bit of orbital tweaking (I was in a synchronous orbit... what are the odds???) and I've got it! Now the question is: can I get back?

Final orbit and remaining Delta V. I'll just timewarp until I get closer, because it looks like I can just do that to get to Gilly. I'm behind and in a smaller orbit.

So, it would take a total of 1750 (With generous FudgeRoomtm) to do this orbit. I'll "quicksave as" and try it.

On that criteria, banned for slightly cut-off text in your sig.

Granted. Mt. Everest is now in what was once your bedroom, with you underneath it. I wish for pie.
