Ok, so, Space is building a launch facility in Texas. I understand Florida is too far for an F9 booster to land there, but would it be practical for the center core of an F9H to land at the Cape? It would save a lot of flyback.

Stanley wandered the halls of the office but never saw anybody. In fact, nothing moved except a skinny mouse nibbling on something pink sticking out of a supply closet Stanley suddenly realized he was very hungry and went looking for the cafeteria

Most Likley your center of thrust is not in line with your center of mass. Disable the gimbals on the pulling engines, as I've read that they don't steer properly when ahead of the CoM. If it still spins, use the thrust limiter to reduce thrust on the engines on the side away from the direction of spin, I.e. If it's spinning to port, reduce thrust on the starboard side. Edit: having the engines spread out like that will multiply any torque generated by being off center ( greater leverage). You may have to completely shut down an engine Hope that helps!

A shining planet, known as Earth. Just north of the 49th parallel, around 120oW

If you want to see it dance, click the "Wobbly Rockets" link in my sig Edit: And then there was this launch...

Kerbal Submersible Program: Moar Ankors! Go too deep and your sub implodes....

Kerbal Space Tycoon sounds about right. Manage all your factories, both on and off Kerbin, making parts from resources bought from mines in the area. Keep up the parts inventory for your KSP! Heaven forbid your VAB should run out of S1-SRB's, Mainsails, LV-N's or Vernors!

Yep, great for all ages, who doesn't love blowing stuff up! Edit: Woohoo, 500 posts!

*facepalm* doh, wouldn't ya know Edit: NOW I have 500 posts, should've known in here they'd be ghosts

I used a padlock on top of a penny. But I agree, that's the Kerbal Way!

Slice and Dice!

This is my 500th post! For the game I play the most! Of Jeb, Bob, and Bill, I'll never get my fill, Even when they're splattered all over the coast! edit: At least I thought it was. My post count should update soon, I hope....

Sorry, only indecently naked burgers, made up of a conspicuous green substance we scraped off the runway. Now, can I get a milkshake please?

Far too many to count. Just yesterday while launching a 1500+ton behemoth it took three launches to spot the villainous decoupler lurking in the first stage that wasn't supposed to fire until in orbit. That cost 1.5 million plus almost 600k in pad repairs*. Oh, and the first time it froze the game. *At least it would have if I didn't revert. I wouldn't have had enough to fix the pad.

I've gotten 3 at once: Kerbin, solar orbit, and a planet (one of Jool, Duna, or Eve) Edit: I've even managed to turn an 'old' Duna outpost-lander into a new one by docking and undocking it. Imagine my surprise when a contract for a new Ike outpost, accepted long after this outpost was launched, was completed after I landed it on Ike

After reviewing my design I realized my old version used canards instead of winglets; I didn't need nearly as many of those. But yeah, solid first stages is about the only time I use any kind of fins

Try Google. I googled "complete history of space exploration" and it gave me about 30 million results, not sure which one you wanted or I'd have linked it. - - - Updated - - - Now if you wanted just a brief history...

Orbiting is simply falling but always missing the ground. To do that you have to go sideways fast enough. The above tutorial walkthroughs and videos will show you the best way.

Welcome Lobe, some nice looking ships you have there, I've never been very good with spaceplanes. Sometimes I find I spend more time on the forums than in the game! Zabre: basically wherever you find the best opportunities for yourself is where you want to be.

It's only been in that tree for two years now. There's some Lego guys, including a Legonaut (not Benny) in the payload section. Launching with the boys today:

Got it in one. Of course, it is pretty distinctive.
