From Mr. Musk's AMA on reddit:

Then you end up with fused sand...

For some time now it's been pointless... Sounds like something obsolete... Just make a guess! Slide Ruler?

Nice pic, but I'm not on Duna. I'll add that to my desktop wallpaper collection

Also, it's entirely possible to warp past your transfer window. And if life support ever becomes a thing....

Anyone watch "Black Sheep Squadron?"

10/10 wow, that is impressive. Look like it belongs in a movie, or that it could be built in the real world. Just... wow

Try something different. Have you put an E-class roid on a solar escape trajectory yet? Now there's a challenge. For 0.90 I decided to not use LV-N's, and rediscovered wobbly rockets (see link in my sig)

Jeez, when I think back to my first "modern" (Win95) pc. 32MB RAM. 1.3 GB HDD. My motto at the time was "I was sad that I have a pentium 100, until I met the man with a 486." It could barely handle a major battle in StarCraft.

Bwaaaaaahahhahahahahaha now that's a good one; the only one that made me lol Back when I was trying out the demo, I made a series of MonkeyLaunchers, I think I made it to version 12 or so and made a Mun landing with it. After I bought the game, I developed an onion-ringed jumbo-tank version that became known as the Goliath, the basic core design of which I still use to this day. When I learned about asparagus staging, I managed to kludge it into a workable 200ton asparagus lifter that became known as the Goliagus, which slew many would-be Davids during its development. Goliagus was abandoned when money became a thing. I've never been much good with spaceplanes. I once tried to make a monster with Mk3 parts (before I knew they were borked) called the Albatross. I don't think it ever got off the ground in one piece.

My last post was the Spruce Goose, then that CL-215 Canadair water bomber reminded me of the Grumman Goose, popular around the coastal areas of BC. Also popular around the wilderness of northern BC, the deHavilland Beaver. I flew in those many times as a kid when I lived in the Queen Charlotte Islands, now known as the Haida Gwaii archipelago And its big brother, the Otter: Edit: Oh, and congrats on the sticky! Edit 2: changed the Goose image to one that should show up

Well, I had a "Put an E-class asteroid on a Kerbol Escape Trajectory" back in 0.24 (where I hooked into a 3600ton behemoth) that I still haven't finished, and I still have the save. Build a base into it and that could be a "Win Game" condition. Another possibility that could be added would be amassing enough science (10k+) to unlock a "Future Tech" node, which would have the interstellar drive. Then you need to have enough kash to actually buy the thing. Then you need to launch the massive thing, along with enough crew capacity, and get it onto a specific (unless you want to go to another galaxy) kerbolar escape trajectory. For maximum difficulty, make the escape be in a roughly polar direction. Oh, and in less than 100 years, before Kerbol goes nova.

Sounds like a GeoTrax train set. My kids had miles of the stuff and 4 train engines. Yep, that's the stuff and it was great fun. Murder on batteries though, and I always wanted more parts. Back then they didn't have the computer capsules either.

Apparently my first post, way back in November 2013, was in the thread "What tickles you most about KSP?"

How about the "KasaNova"?

Don't dig too deep...

My cousin ( my age) had Atari, I had Colecovision. I did have a small train set, along with Lego and something called Capsela. I also notice that plastic model kits are nowhere near as common these days.

A simple way to add a first stage without adding height is to put on 2, 4, 6, or 8 radially attached solid boosters. One of my rockets has 36 of them!

I remembered this the hard way too, after separating a satellite and preparing to place it in the proper orbit. Luckily I had engine gimbal but it was still pretty tricking using thrust to rotate without messing up the orbit parameters too much. it took many more maneuvers than it should have.

Ok, so you have a probe core, right? If it's a massive sat, or weak reaction wheels, it can be so slow it's like its not working at all. Beyond that, screenshots and/or .craft file please

Sounds familiar. Whatever they see daddy doing at that age they will fixate on for the next three years or so, until they see what their friends are doing. At that age my son saw me building some shelves at home. This began a three year fascination with all things construction, mainly Bob the Builder, Handy Manny, and even Mike Holmes (whom he wanted to go as one Halloween). Sadly, it passed, leaving us with a small mountain of plastic tools. Hopefully your son's interest will continue to burn as brightly as an S1-SRB. Can we build it? Yes we can! Can we fly it? Hopefully.... Erm, maybe not. Can we fix it? Not when it's scattered across the KSC lawn...

Resistance is futile!

Well, they could slap a nosecone on it while refueling. Just make sure Jeb doesn't stow away inside it.
