Is this a slab of bacon which I see before me, The end pointed toward my mouth? Come, let me eat thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to eat? or art thou but A bacon of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going; And such a bacon I was to eat. Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses, Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, And on thy folds and dudgeon gouts of fat, Which was not so before. There's no such thing... sometimes Jeb gets these ideas....

So I'm minding my own business wandering the grounds of Airventure 2014 (Oshkosh for the purists - http://www.eaa.org/en/airventure) and see the NASA tent. Imagine my surprise with whom I saw there! http://imgur.com/a/rKiIj p.s. - I'm back for testing and plan to put things through their paces...

All - sorry i've disappeared from KSO testing; work has overwhelmed me the past couple weeks. Sounds like 64-bit testing has been quite the ride. I'm heading to Oshkosh for Airventure tomorrow - and will be back to KSO testing once I return. In the meantime, here's some 45 year anniversary pictures from the Armstrong Museum. I stopped by this week while driving through on business. Enjoy! Rick http://imgur.com/a/nT7O3

Whoa... can't wait to see what this sits *INSIDE*

I humbly apologize to everyone for my suggestion. Otherwise, the phase might be complete already!

Looks good for a first video, Avalon! I enjoyed watching it.

All - I regret to inform you that today's Super 25 testing wasn't completed... cuz... NASA! Some selected photos are available at: http://imgur.com/a/OeUXR#0

Good deal. can't wait to see it!

Really awesome start, tygoo! Can't wait to see it in game. Do you plan to build the "opening" nose cone ala Dragon - or something more like the multi-door stock docking port? I vote for one similar to stock.

And a picture of the NASA + KSO LFO boosters. It's my go-to heavy lifter... asparagus staging w/ the LFOs.

That was probably me Capt.Hunt. I use the KSO LFO boosters w/ the NASA parts to build an SLS-like lifter. I don't like the pencil-thin SRBs that come with the NASA pack - and I can cross feed from the LFOs to the main stage for asparagus staging. I'll upload a pic later.

Okay - more information. I removed real chutes from the same vehicle, launched two of them, and the bounding box is fixed and they docked "normally" the way MechJeb should. Looks like real chutes is the culprit on my system - Mac w/ latest Mavericks OS - 0.23.5 KSP - Latest Mechjeb Dev build - MechJeb2-2.2.1.256 I wonder if it's picking up bounding box information presuming the real chutes are deployed when, in fact, they aren't? Update: I installed the latest and greatest real chutes release and the problem is gone. Bounding boxes are normal size and docking goes off with out a problem.

Classified Engine Testing at a deserted landing facility near you.

YES! I think this is a great idea.
