Yes, I want to launch my Steiner scout lance to the mun. Because it's still stealth if no one's left to spot you!

Bah worst meme trope ever :D   Besides if they are all coated in Chameleon Light Polarization System No one can see them anyway :D

Tada! Thor-Able - Delta IV Heavy. The young one launching the old one.

I'm doing Atlas - Atlas V Next.

 

Spoiler

Might I humbly Suggest Atlas V carrying Atlas Vega? :D  You know... because that is after all what Atlas V means right??? :P

The challenge is to launch Atlas on an Atlas. :P Or any other 'old' rocket on a 'newer' rocket.

Also, I'm personally trying to get the 'old' rocket into orbit without using any of the 'old' rocket's fuel.

Here it is! Atlas-Vega launched atop an Atlas V... Heavy... Super Heavy... This was the only way I could get Atlas Vega into orbit without using any of Atlas-Vega's fuel... For how powerful Atlas V is, it just doesn't have the power to put Atlas-Vega into orbit with a baseline version. Yes, even the 551/552.

Last night, I stuck a Mercury capsule on top of a Juno IVB just to see what would happen.

My conclusion: Shepherd would've beaten Gagarin had the Juno IVB not been cancelled.

I didn't get any pictures because I was focused on trying to put up with memory leaks.

I'm considering putting the Mercury Lab in orbit atop a Titan I. It Feels weird that all of those boosters were just ... destroyed.

You know one of the early Saturn A or B program designs (actually it was Juno VB) was basically THIS :D

However that was with Cluster First STage and E-1 Engines,   Cluster 2nd Stage, with a new Vacuum engine and then Atlas Vega.

@Zorg, @CobaltWolf,

Since there is some ongoing work on the Atlas series, would it be possible to get a revision or addition to an Agena fairing? Several missions (Heavy Ferrets, SAMOS and others) used a simple two-piece conical fairing that exactly matched the diameter of the Agena. Currently, we have the SAF Standard Agena Clamshell Fairing, but it is slightly larger than the diameter of the Agena. I have kitbashed several one piece nose cones, but the SOLTAN nose cone that makes up the top part is not hollow so if you are not careful you run into clipping issues. See below:

ybiixpB.jpeg                                                                AN0Heub.jpeg

The one on the left uses the Kerbodyne ADTP-2-3A and the SOLTAN, and the one on the right uses the Keyhole RVA-1 and the SOLTAN. Both work, but it requires some manipulation to get right. Historically these should be two piece split clamshell affairs. There were several different color schemes,  and believe it or not this beige color (courtesy of Simple Repaint) was actually used on the Ferrets. Note that these all have semi-rounded tops, which is what they were historically. I avoid using Procedural Fairings, as they will only come to a sharp point.

As an alternative, would it be possible to have the SAF-SAC start off with the zero segment model being about the height of the ones I have pictured above? It could gradually get taller as you added segments. Currently the zero segment version is quite tall, with no way of making it shorter.

Thank you for the consideration.

Hey guys I just installed the new version of BDB and now my game crashes during loading. If anyone could help that would be great.

thank you

@OrbitalManeuvers might be able to help you with this also could you also add the ksp.log as well

moi? idk nuttin. there's this in your crash log:

>> 91% physical memory in use.

You do have every mod installed. Massive part mods, multiple star systems. BDB contains lots of new parts depending on what you're upgrading from. I think you're just out of memory. Your ksp.log just ends while loading textures. Hopefully someone with some actual facts will swing by.

Bonus image: Check your staging... ejected the deorbit stage before it had a chance to fire... Thankfully Mun has no atmo, so didn't need the heat shield, so just used the descent engines to get into a descent.

That’s strange, I have 32 Gb of memory on my pc. I’d thought that would be enough

I don't think it's a memory issue, I run ksp and bdb with EVE all right with 8GB. Maybe on the update you didn't updated the dependencies. Anyways, might be a good time for a fresh install.

Load KSP while watching your memory usage in Task Manager. If it hits 32 GB, then it's a not enough memory issue.

Also, if you have any programs running in the background, make sure they aren't memory intensive. Ex. Google Chrome with 20 tabs open. If you do have a browser open, close all but one, probably two tabs. 

Also also, make sure you're not running a second game in the background that could be hogging memory.

It could be a memory issue. I hit my memory limit a few times back when I was running 32 gigs, and I didn't even have any planet mods.

Yeah i think it is the memory. Right before finishing loading the memory hit 98% at crashed. :/ Time for another upgrade ig

Or uninstall some planet mods. The textures for the planets are real memory hogs.  Uninstalling mods you never use will also help. 

Of course, if you do go the 64 gig memory route, welcome to the club. :cool:

Side note: Just noticed this is my 5,100th post... wow.
