WooHoo! It's April 1st so it's time for new threads of the month! I've scoured for some top threads this month and have had a few submissions, @Snark and @Just Jim have provided a few threads this time, if you see something you like for the next TOTM let me know! In no particular order we start with new member @Butterbar's Mission Report thread From Humble Beginnings. It already has people clamouring for more, so check it out! From Fanworks comes 2001: A Space Absurdity by @purpleivan, great work with the craft Ivan! We all know that explosions are great, but sometimes you just want fire!, enter @kimiko and the N.A.N.A Wildfire mod, this is hot stuff! From the Spacecraft Exchange comes @Daeridanii, another new member with an awesome "vessel", on me ead son! While this is from January it's still a great thread, @ZooNamedGames has brought a load of players together in the Lounge in his Real Space Program! In Suggestions comes @Alshain, it's an older thread but it's something I feel is long overdue in KSP, better control over the orbit node. Maybe HarvesteR will see this and agree? Maybe @Vaporized Steel wasn't the best person to post a thread on the ISS burning up, but he's sparked a long and thoughtful discussion, take a look below. @scribbleheli asks if anyone has built a Bad-S PC in anticipation of 1.1, what's been on your shopping list? New member @IonStorm from the OSIRIS-REx team supplies this months challenge! Can you recreate the OSIRIS-REx in KSP? There's only one way to find out. That's it for this month, check out last months TOTM here!

Helloo everyone! It's the start of March, so it's time to sticky some new threads from around the forums and bring your attention to some great stuff in our community you may have missed. It's an eclectic mix this month, with some old threads thrown in that I have wanted to feature for ages. So without further ado we're starting this TOTM in General Discussion with @Panichio's thread on people who joined in 2011, where we learn what some of our earliest members think of KSP. Next we have a tutorial on the importance of the center of mass and center of lift from @Val, this is sure to help some people with their spaceplanes, as it's still common for players to have issues re-entering due to neglecting to take their CoM shift into account. This. Is. Awesome! @Azimech is know around the forums for his amazing mechanical creations, but sometimes he lets himself indulge in more whimsical craft design, and this time he geeks out with an all-stock, flying Starship Enterprise, joined by the Reliant, with a guest appearance by the Klingons! Our challenge this month comes from @SpaceplaneAddict, he asks us to show the loneliest celestial body some love, so get out there and show Dres how much you appreciate her clearing up those asteroids! Unless, of course, you know that Dres does not exist... I can't remember if I linked this next TOTM before, looking back I was not able to find it, so I'm doing it anyway! Witness @Space Scumbag's amazing recreation of Mad Max, Mad Jeb Fury Road! It's just like the movie! From Mission Reports comes the harrowing saga of Emiko Station, penned by @Just Jim, "Is This The End?". We have @lobe to thank for the Science thread this month, with his discussion on what my be the only real way we'll reach the stars, oh and it involves huge explosions so it's a win win! Late addition! @Exclipse, is working on a great little 2D KSP-esque game called Asteroid Initiative, where you can build rockets from parts, fly to (and crash on) other planets. Take a look, and maybe give him a vote on Steam! And finally, how could I not feature the biggest thread in recent weeks?, give a big hand everyone to @inigma and the Spacedock dev thread! That's all for now, see you next time on the Kerbal Space Program forum Threads of the Munth! See Januaries TOTM here ! See Februaries TOTM here!
