    kerman die after 14000m

    Yea the only mod that would cause this is the Deadly Reentry mod. In the pictures it looks like you're gravity turn is too shallow (only about 80 degrees above horizon). To avoid this destruction try starting a gravity turn at around the 10km mark keeping your heading at about 30-45 degrees above the horizon. Then once your Ap is about 10km higher than your current altitude lower your heading to about 10 degrees above the horizon.

    Like I said in the original post I didn't make the artwork the credit for that goes to 10dowg10 on deviantart.com I simply added some words to the picture because it seemed to clearly show the fears that the Kerbals have to Kerbalkon.

    Real Life Kerbal Controls

    OOOOOO interesting idea, might I make a suggestion and make the joystick slot circular? In this way you can move in any direction, not just left right forward and back. Also, as a construction helper, you could get a cheap off the shelf joy stick and throttle control (Or at least be able to look at their code) and use that for the joystick and throttle.

    The Joystick slot is just a place holder for now, I haven't even begun work on it yet I still have to decide on an actual size to make it. Right now it looks like its going to be about 37x31x10cm (approx. 1ftx1ftx4in), I'm also trying to figure out what material to make it out of metal v. plastic. I favor working with metal but plastic has it's advantages.

    You can make that an iPad app. You turn that on n your iPad or tablet and sync it with KSP, and use iPad to control stuff.

    I've seen an app like that, but it didn't get into the app store.

    NEVER I hate Ipads and refuse to use them plus nothing beats the feel of a real joystick/buttons in your hand.

    Real Life Kerbal Controls

    In honor of Kerbalkon I am unveiling my plans for a real life Kerbal Controller that looks similar to the internal controls of Kerbal spacecraft. It's still in the development phases right now I'm tinkering with the actual size of the different parts and screens that will be required for this. I may need some assistance with programing of this device but for now I still need to get the actual components in place before I can do anything else. If you are interested let me know I doubt it will ever be mass produced but I wouldn't mind making a few dozen of these.

    That time when a Duna mission goes horribly wrong [No pics, sorry]

    in KSP1 Mission Reports

    My first trip to Dina was going perfectly. I had an aerobrake set up at 14.6km from the surface and carefully picked a landing zone rich in Kethane using a combination of parachutes and rockets I lowered my landing speed to about 15m/s. Unfortunately I had landed on a hill and as soon as the ship touched down it rolled over breaking off two of three of the boosters I would need to reach orbit. The rescue mission landed over 200 days later 37km away and Jeb had to walk all the way there then ride shotgun all the way back to Kerbin but was eventually recovered after over a year of total time away from Kerbin.

    This is without a doubt my most spectacular failure and success in KSP.
