Anniversary ideas

[The_Rocketeer]

This Tuesday (6th Sept) is the 3rd anniversary of the date I joined the forums. So I was thinking, what can I do to mark the occasion, or any special KSP occasion, in game, on the forum, or elsewhere?

Give me your Kerbal suggestions!

You could always send your fellow forummers some cash....

Or how about, as you only have a few days to organise it, a party on the Mun, with all your kerbal friends gathered around the Armstrong memorial giving thanks for inspiration.  With a big rocket sundae as the ultimate snack/firework, but to top it off you need a scoop (surface sample) of mint ice cream from Minmus.

^^^This, but with a magic boulder.

Or party on Dres. Or Laythe. Or something else.

Go and PARTY!

Plant a special flag.

A mere 6 months after you joined, I joined. On February of 2014.

@The_Rocketeer,  Are you going to share screenshots of your joyous anniversary celebrations with us on here?

Actually it's my forum 3rd anniversary on Nov 30th, must've been a good year , not going to be able to celebrate on the day though.

@pandaman we'll see. My wife is very heavily pregnant, so to do justice these suggestions might take more time at the computer than I'm really allowed - er... master of  - at the moment. I'll do my best

[pandaman]

@The_Rocketeer  well,  that's understandable, real life always gets in the way takes priority.  You'll have even less time once it arrives. 

Jebediah or Valentina?  Or is that pushing your luck a bit too far?

In the far far future, one will fire up KSP and their internet connection and play with their friends online when there is an anniversary.

@pandaman I'll simply say that many options have been discussed.

Cool, I hope it all goes well. How long left?

@Mods...  I know we're off topic, but we are talking about a potential new player.

I don't have any ideas off hand, but happy anniversary!  Also congratulations!

O dear, this is turning into another baby-centric conversation. Don't u guys know I come here to get away from all that?! But really, thanks.

Due first week of October, seems like she's inflating like a balloon atm!

[pandaman]

Well, not too long now then, the last few weeks are a difficult time for mums to be, I don't want to derail the thread too much, but best wishes to you both and please keep us posted.

Having a new baby is exciting, tiring, expensive, tiring, messy, tiring and worth every minute.

Don't you realise we're now on a rescue mission?

If you don't do something really special you might not be back at all (for six months).
OK, keep calm, the baby isn't coming yet.  BREATHE!
Between contractions you have to install a planetary mod ... and make a new planet for your child.
(and then plant a flag on it).

I'll bring the party poppers and bottle rockets~

Thanks those who contributed to this thread.

After the excitement of hearing 1.2 coming down the pipeline, I wasn't sure I could really follow it up with anything worth posting here. I did manage to squeeze an hour or so of KSP into a slightly hectic day, but unfortunately not long enough for Jeb and me to orchestrate a party (turns out most of the guys had plans or were half-way to Jool at the moment, Valentina was washing her hair... and Bill's been keeping a low profile since he left those tourists in orbit by mistake).

So just the two of us (Jeb and me) worked on another project I've had on the backburner for a while, taking a leaf out of @Azimech's book, trying to scratchbuild a stock-turboprop aircraft. And you know, I actually managed to get airborne for the very first time! Sure, it took a downhill run, and sure it crashed into the sea after a few hundred feet, but for me it was a huge success. I felt like the Wright brothers must have felt a century ago at Kitty Hawk...

So it's not a big to-do or a fanfare celebration, but just one more small personal triumph. In the end, what could be more appropriate?

Just saw this thread now, and this is an awesome looking whatever the hell it is

Congrats! And what a beautiful engine! Please post it in the big stock turboprop topic :-)
