Greets from the floating dutchman

[E-Rikkie]

Hi all, greetings from the Netherlands. o/

I've been killing kerbals for about 3 weeks now, but unfortunately i have a busy life so i haven't killed as many as i wanted to

My biggest achievement as of today is orbiting the Mun and returning safely. That gave me enough science to unlock the better landing struts so next mission will be landing on the Mun. Then it's off to Minmus.

Grtz Erik

Hello E-Rikkie and welcome to the forum!

Congrats on your progress so far.  That first Mun landing will be a very satisfying accomplishment.

Happy landings!

Welcome, E-Rikkie.  Once you have unlocked certain parts, you will be able to do much more in less time (including "safety experiments" with Kerbals).  

[E-Rikkie]

Thanks, and it was a successful weekend.

after landing on the mun and returning safely

I tweaked the rocket a bit and had a landing on minmus

Congrats fellow Dutchman. You seemed to have gotten of on a great start. Happy flying to you.

what's all this about dutchmen? @KasperVld aren't you in the land below sea?

[KasperVld]

I am indeed, welcome E-Rikkie

[E-Rikkie]

Thanks guys.

But that good start was preceded by a lot of fails   so i wouldn't call it a good start. That mun landing was pretty clutch if i'm honest.

Hello from a Dutchman living in New Zealand, and my wife, who was living in the Netherland before January 2015.

Please.... have mercy. The idea is to NOT kill Kerbals. The kerbal Protection League does NOT want to kick your butt... however, it will if it needs to.

Hello there. But explain to me, if it's not the purpose of killig kerbals, why did they make it sooooo easy....

I thought the whole purpose of the game was to build the biggest contraption to kill kerbals with a huge explosion

And about your sig, it's like the old dutch proverb

"Zalig zijn de simpelen van geest, want van hen zijn er het meest"

which loosely translates to

"blessed are the simple minded, because of them there are the most"

Its just as easy to kill Kerbals as it is to kill humans... let that sink in for a minute...

Everyone addicted to KSP, including me and you, has to be, and are... simple minded.

Every Kerbal that died, did so for a reason.

They died with honor, as you got one of them to the Mun and Minmus.

That is what Kerbals are for. The accomplishment of a moon landing is great even if with a high number of fatalities.

Thank you,

lucky for jeb & valentina the kerbals have invented time travel so their death was only temporary.

The big country singer Dolly Kerbal made a huge hit song about that invention.: "Working the F9 and F5, what a way to make me living"
