I might have found (another) solution to the problem. Upon investigation I found two .craft-files with the same vessel name. One was about 200 kb, the other one was 1 kb. After deleting the 1 kb craft-file, vessels could be loaded again. Try that approach, maybe it'll help.

I'm having the same issue - modded install, but no mods on the ship so far - tried the fix, which didn't help. I could load perfectly yesterday, then installed Kerbal Alarm clock and went offline. Came back this morning, build a ship from scratch and then decided to look at another ship build for reference; so I saved the new ship and tried to load the old one - that failed and I wasn't able to load any ship from then on. They are present in the save specific folder, though. I tried to edit the save-file (Allow stock vehicles = TRUE). Didn't help. Any suggestions?

30 km on Duna. Jeb crashed and the rescue party missed the landing zone. Unfortunately, I don't have a programable keyboad, so I stuck a knife in it. Worked quite well.

Sent Jeb to Duna ... crashed but survived. Sent Bill to save him ... landed but not enough fuel to return to Kerbin. Sent Bob after them. Landed, yet not enough fuel to get home... always improved the design, still no dice ... lets see who will be the next poor soul to "rescue" them.

Stuck in a crashed lander on Duna. Resuce Mission is underway!

As far as I can tell these are bugs. The only difference that I get when splashing down is if it is near a land mass or out in deep waters.

Scales ... just details that can be neglected ....

If you think about it, it makes total sense. NASA is actually the successor of an ancient organisation founded by an old race that lived on earth many eons ago. Long before the solar system was the way it was today. Earth had two moons actually and jupiter was not red (yet). After humanity discovered the first remains of that ancient civilization, they startet their own rocket program (and named it KSC to honor those who came before) which will eventually lead to the discovery of time travel to meet our ancestors which in turn will lead to certain "easter eggs" on certain planetary bodies. Yes, if you think about it, it does make sense. Really.

Jeb went to Duna and crashed. Bill went after him but missed the landing zone by 30 km. Poor Jeb had to walk (run) there, since I didn't want to waste any more fuel. After he ran out of RCS fuel, I only had one option to get Jeb to the ship yet still participate in some form of social life.

So .... this counts as a landing, right? Right!

Hoi, inspired by this post on IO9.com I figured, we could start something similar here. So here's the deal: Write a short story of no more than six words taking place in the KSP universe. Here's mine: "There goes my parachute!" Jep thought.

I am amazed and thrilled by your responses It's good to know that others are as crazy as oneself when it comes to playing that game / sim / sandbox. And now I have an excuse to play even more ... muahahAHHAHA

Hey, first, I did not find a similar thread for this kind of topic so I thought I'd start one. If there already is, I apologize. Why do you play KSP and what got you into it? Personally, I started after I got to know someone from ESA. I came across KSP much earlier through steam but never felt the desire to play. After this encounter however, I felt encouraged to pick it up. I like the challenge that the game puts up and very much appreciate it's effort to combine science with humor (two things I really like). The freedom in design and modding capabilities is fantastic and the work the community puts into add ons, art, stories, tutorials and so on is just amazing. I guess without the time and energy people had put into this, I would have never gotten to the Mun and beyond (since I tend to be an impatient person and getting no results after some time would have surely made me quit soon). So what's your story?

When your mind starts to form the question "How to decouple the girlfriend's clothing ..."

Nice! Another great example on how music and editing can make a difference!

Hey, just found this nice little video of the upcoming wake up call for the Rosetta satellite and want to share it with you guys. Once Upon A Time An wonderful way to celebrate spaceflight and get the "regular people" out there interested in it as well. Hop you enjoy it!

Well, it all started out as a routine newbie-mission to the Mün; which went fine up until I realized that I didn't have enough fuel to go home. Since Kerbals are a very caring race, they sent their best team after Shepgan, the stranded kerb-o-naut. They picked him up, went home, HOWEVER, while escaping the Mün I realized they don't have enough rocket fuel to go back to Kerbin properly ... so, the RCS thrusters have to be used as breaking thrust. After 15 minutes of constantly pressing H the periapsis for reentry is low enough. And, isn't it poetic: While they descent, the sun rises. And then: DEPLOY CHUTES ... which rips off the lander can Shepgan was rescued in. He falls to his death - at least on his home planet. What did I learn from this? a) Double check if you have enough fuel. some chutes on other parts of the ships don't hurt anybody. c) Gravity is a dick to Kerbals.

Has to be X-Com: Enemy Unknown from 1994. First time I played it I was 10 years old, it was night and ... oh these Greys ... scared the hell out of me ^^

Haha ... thank you But I guess I'm just a hopeless optimist. Expect it to be a few weeks before I even get to orbit, let alone to Duna (and also learning the new vocabulary ... SSTD, right!) And thanks for the offer. I get back to you, when I am completely lost.

Hi everybody, so ... I'm new here as well. Got KSP about three weeks ago and doing my best since then not to crash too often. I live in Berlin, Germany and have gotten around to Minmus and the Mun so far. Not too bad for my first weeks, I guess. Next project: Build an SSTO that incorporates a rover for Duna! I'm looking forward to a lot of fruitful insights into the world of KSP! Cheers!

Just tried this - but I havent incorporated into the game, yet. The latin part reads (if google did it correctly) "More luck than judgement" - which basically describes my space program quite well. ^^
