Aphox Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Did you use ladders as antenna?I did! I saw someone else do it and thought it was a brilliant idea.^Great animation! It is very satisfying to get a Kerbo-stationary orbit. I wish there was a way to make your craft always point at Kerbin though.It\'ll stay pointed at Kerbin in geostationary because it\'s only pointing at that one spot, but only if you stay focused on the ship. Game\'s not capable of keeping the S.A.S. on when you\'re not looking, I suppose. EVA/ focusing elsewhere/warping will do that to it. Made for a nice animation though.

Vanamonde Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The guys are so cute that I regret it when bad things happen to them, but I decided to sacrifice brave Jedwin Kerman in the name of science, and sent him on his own little reentry odyssey, to see what would happen. He survived. He hit the ground at around 340m/s, bounced once, tumbled to a stop, and then stood up again, fresh as a daisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent_prtoagonist Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Adventures in lunar space...Bill makes the first Mun landing in 0.16Turns out I didn\'t have quite enough fuel to get back...Grey is the lander\'s orbit after burnout, ready to make another 'landing' in half an orbit...Blue is Bill after abandoning ship.Bill wishes he\'d brought something other than Kwilight to read...Rescue mission arrives about four days later (Kerbin time).This was actually the first time the whole gang has been together since 0.16Home sweet home.Bill decides he must go back and face his demons (and also finish the Kwilight Saga)...Bob and Jeb decide to come along this time. They touch down near a strange object...Bill, Bob, and Jeb reflect on the face of the monkey god...However space dementia soon sets in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He survived. Did everybody but me know that reentry is not fatal for un-shipped Kerbals? He hit the ground at around 340m/s, bounced once, tumbled to a stop, and then stood up again, fresh as a daisy.I have killed a Kerbal at a far lower impact velocity...

Joe Pinball Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Poor old Jeb!Stranded on the Mun after he totalled his Munar Rover probe cart... not like him at all, that...So we sent Bill & Bob (and don\'t forget Siglock!) out to rescue him with a heavy 2.5m-based Munar Rescue Lander, complete with DamnYouJapan\'s crewtank (seats 5). It also had a laser as 'Jeb said it was a good idea and had a spare one'It features 4 very powerful landing engines, which can be dumped for the return trip, using just the small retro braking disc underneath.Amazingly I manually landed it first time 1.1km away from Jeb. here\'s Bill outside basking in the achievement of a nice safe landing with plenty spare fuel for the return trip:Joe 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khyron42 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I have a unique case of Kessler Syndrome as a result of crew bailing out of return craft that couldn\'t quite make munar orbit:It doesn\'t help that Burry bailed out of his perfectly capable 1-man return craft at 1 km altitude, stole the three-man Bill, Jeb, & Bob arrived in while they were standing atop the Arch, then crashed it as well while putting himself into orbit. The rescue ship sent for them didn\'t do any better and they had to bail into orbit as well.Burry is the only kerbal I\'ve seen who is braver than Jeb and he needed to do something memorable ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
