Early version of my DTV:

How time flies! Also, do I recognize that hab?

[Rolanvorxariat]

Much better dude. How's the rest coming along?

The Duna Hab is still under the de-modding process (Un-tweakscaling then adding moar struts+girders), the Orion and Ares are done (Will post pics soon), and I am working on the Altair. I posted my Copernicus DTV a bit back.

EDIT: redoing the SPR, again!

Yes, you do recognize that, I used your intake trick.

Am I the only one who sometimes thinks: "Is anyone actually going to fly my mission? I might as well just not test it." Then I go ahead and test it, because I don't want to release a bad product.

The Orion and Ares I:

The final variant of the SPR:

It floats like a boat, like everything in KSP.

You can also climb in from the windows.

Ah, the pain of the burn:

Where is everyone right now? (I mean in dev of their packs.)

[Zucal]

Taking a break. I got lots of RL stuff to do

[Majorjim!]

I'm plodding along. Found some bugs with one of the landers..

Fixing that, and I rebuilt the Atlas V, testing that with every piece of cargo. Then test DTV. Ect ect.

You guys beginning to see how much there is to do!

Yes, I do see, I've been testing the DTV for hours, just burning out of LKO.

Ouch. How long is the burn to Duna for you?

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Way to long. Actually, I'm not sure, but it's very slow.

[Majorjim!]

Are you going round and then burning again or all in one go?

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

All in one go.

I think my old DTV transfer was around 15 mins. It will be longer with this new one..

The flight time is about 1 hour, but it only records a second every five, because of lag. However, I was able to 2x warp for a fair portion of the burn.

You guessed it! She's sitting on my chest as I type.

Ack! My Ares V just cannot get enough thrust!

i am using a mainsail, 4 reliants, and 4 of the radial engines. It can get to orbit, without a payload, but with one...

Can you shed any weight? Add more boosters? The stock boosters are rubbish individually, bunch them together.

Don't forget to get it some proper care, vet check, injections ect.

[sarcasm]

Yay! 1.0.3 is out, so I can redo that 5 hour burn! Fun!
