I'm not sure what you mean. You should post this in the gameplay section so people with more experience will find it and can maybe help.

This is why it is important to understand you need other crews besides Jebediah, Bob, and Bill that work together as a single unit. In my story line, Kerny has emerged to command a crew that consists of Karloff (I love the KSP generated name, as I am a big fan of Boris Karloff). This way, if you have multiple crews, you can always have a mission on standby - if nothing else, for such a case as you share here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of it was a class c so it didn't have much resources to use so I am waiting for a clas E to come by that way I can refuel my ships much faster without sending them to minmusto be fueled for their missions you end up getting very good at rendezvous with my design. It is a small base that I use as a gas station for my interplanetary missions till I can get a respectable asteroid to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick a satellite with a claw in orbit and wait... they'll show up. The tricky part is getting a really huge one back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obney kerman Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 @JustJim My friend was launching a huge wheel space station in one launch (What was he on?) when I saw a Kerbal in the complex I thought I recognized... "That's Hartfield!" I exclaimed, and immediately told him to put Hartfield on the mission. So you did get his name from the generator!

Yes... the only names in Emiko that I changed are Emiko herself (although I've been told by a couple people now that she's been spotted in the generator), and the three named after forum members: @Kuzzter, @Geschosskopf, and @Parkaboy. Oh wait, I forgot Stardust. She was named after one of my cats that passed away earlier this year. And I obviously added Gene, Werhner, and the rest of the canon KSC staff. The rest are game generated names. As far as launching wheel stations goes, it's not terribly hard once you get the hang of it.

I'm adding your Netflix line, slightly modified, into that last chapter. I love this... it makes Gene appear older and out of touch with current technology! I remember being 10 and on a family vacation in Houston, Texas. That summer, my parents decided to take me and my sister to the Houston Space Center for one of those mega tours they offered; it was in 1980. While on the tour, one of the people we got to meet was one of my legendary heroes, Alan B. Shepherd. He asked me what I thought of the tour, and all I could do was quote STS statistics! I still could remember the look on his face - amazed and then bewildered as I continued about the heat resistance of the tiles, the different temperatures that could be withstood based on the three colors, have. He looked at me, smiled, and said something like, "That's a bit beyond my time, son. Oh, that's good... he's already qualified to be one of the brainy nerds that work here..." Rolled his eyes, and handed me an Apollo 14 patch from the gift shop (in all fairness, he had a stack of them). I still have the patch!

Well, to be honest, between main and supporting characters, I've already got 40, which is already pushing it. I'm not sure how to fit in someone new. However, Obney is an interesting and very Kerbin sounding name, so I'm thinking I may be able to give you a cameo, so to speak, in the next chapter.

NASA was what I wanted to do and be a part of. Just like some kids want to be sports players and can quote baseball stats all day long, my mind was bent on space... Even today, if you go to Houston Space Center, you still run into astronauts (mostly shuttle or ISS), and they often pop in on tours. My daughter met an astronaut that had been on the ISS for six months when we took her to the John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi/Louisiana.
