My fist Kerbal in orbit in 1.05 and it's not Jeb :D

Jeb is probably MAD at me that i chosen Bob instead of him

But seriously what you think about my rocket design and overall performance of gravity turn and so on.
i'm very proud of it, is so stable that not need SAS or Kerbal with piloting skills.

Bob always goes to orbit first in my games. Gotta get that Science!

Yes Bob is true scientist he had college degree

Jeb is awesome but he is just adrenaline junkie

But flying Bob is difficult, since Squad introduced that only pilots can operate SAS.

Sacrilege. Blasphemy. Heresy.

JEBEDIAH MUST GO FIRST. All of you--you go right back to that launch pad and put Jeb in orbit, this minute, or I will turn this thread around!

[moogoob]

Jeb is my Yuri Gagarin.

NO NO Jeb would be 3rd now must fly Valentine, We need to maintain gender parity nowadays

Y'know, it is possible to put more than one cockpit on a spaceship.

Pawelk,

Congratulations!

Jeb was my first Kerbal in orbit in 1.05 and Val was my first to visit the Mun (flyby).

I personally make no allowances for gender. They are all qualified kerbonauts and I treat them as such. It is, however, important that I keep all of my kerbonauts in rotation in the early going so that they will be experienced for the later missions.

As for your ship design and piloting: Excellent job on the gravity turn. It's textbook as far as I can tell.

I personally would not stage just to activate another copy of the same engine. In my experience, SSTO is lighter than that approach. My early orbital flights had a SRB first stage and a Reliant upper.

Best,

We don't do tourist buses for World's Firsts.

What I mean is a design with two Mk1 Command Pods, one for a pilot and one for a scientist, as a quick way to achieve both good flight control and enhanced science returns in early-game missions.

I suppose it is good policy to have someone riding shotgun.

No we don't. Screw political correctness.

[Pawelk198604]

You're Damn right!

I always just use Bob. Oh expendable Bob...

[Pawelk198604]

Now it's Jeb turn

only problem i had is that jeb was unable to perform mk16 parachute test because the rocket decelerate to slow

What i make wrong?
