Hello World!

Hey folks! I've been a lurker for quite some time, but I've been too shy to post until now.

I picked up KSP just after the official release and I have never looked back. At first it was a nice explosion simulator, then I managed to get into suborbital flight. I remember when I stood up in my man cave and cheered out loud when I finally achieved orbit! I was such a baby back then Little did I know that that was nothing compared to when Jeb took his first steps on the Mun and safely returned home.

When I bought this game I had a fear that it wasn't going to be enough for me. Just one solar system with a few planets - I'm going to get bored of this in a heartbeat. Uhhhh....I'm glad I was way wrong on that. In all this time I have been totally captivated and have only left the Kerbin SOI a few times. I have never planted a flag on Eve or Duna, but I have plopped probes down on each.

What finally prompted me to post was ASET Mk1-2 IVA pod replacement. Wow! It's almost as if that just created a separate game out of this masterpiece. I just flew my first two flights entirely IVA. It's an amazing experience. The first flight was a suborbital test and then I put myself in a 100km orbit - just to see if I could manage to navigate while in IVA.

Everytime I start to think I am getting this whole thing figured out, somebody pulls the rug out from under me and changes everything.

I want to thank all of you posters out there for the great info on these boards. I also want to thank Scott Manley for his vids. Without the two, I never would have figured out how to get off the ground. I also want to thank all the modders out there for the great job you guys do and all the fun you provide guys like me.
