Ultimate Steve Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 This may be slightly off topic, but I came across an interesting coincidence. A few years back, somewhere in the 0.90-1.0 stage, I began planning a series of missions called "Project Intrepid." It never got very far. The main thing that killed it was the part count plus my laptop. Anyway, Intrepid was to be a series of nine gigantic space exploration ships, each with different purposes, like Duna tug, Jool Ship, Sunscraper, Interstellar Colony ship, Command base, Battleship, etcetera. I have the full plan somewhere in one of my old notebooks... I tested the Intrepid prototype only once. The prototype looks somewhat like your Intrepid, but less epic (even though it was an early prototype). I was looking back on my old screenshots today, and guess what I found? The only two surviving pictures of the Intrepid Orbit Test #1. They aren't very good shots, but I do still have the save game somewhere... maybe sometime I should merge all my old savegames and actually do Project Intrepid as a mission report. (Wow, I've got about fifty Ideas bouncing around in my head and not enough commitment to do even one of them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for the nonce, the Circus is still in the bunkers running simulations on all the fancy new tech they'll have when the smoke finally clears.

It was excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, go to a theater to see it, preferably a midnight madness showing with audience participation, if they have them. But be warned.... you may never be quite the same again! Back on topic... one thing I'm wondering, if this is Werhner von Kermulan we're reading about... is there a Werhner von Kerman counterpart? Or did I miss him somewhere? I'll go back and re-read Edited June 5, 2016 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, note that while lots of Kerbals and Kebulans each know of the others' planet, at this point Wernher and Gene Kerman are the only characters to know that pairs of like-named people exist on the two worlds.

0111narwhalz Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I think Wernher von Kerman is actually just some car mechanic. I mean, not everyone can be glorious twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Just got caught up (I was away for a few days). Love the letter! I really didn't expect that little twist. Well, Wernher may be out of the reach of Gene's agonizer, but how will he fare in the Kerbal version of Area 51? Happy landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willbl3pic Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Guys, you know the north pole flying saucer? What if it's Wernhers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
