Threads of the month: July.

[Vanamonde]

It's July, and you know what that means! It means those of us in the northern hemisphere are hiding inside with the air conditioning running and those of us in the southern hemisphere are hiding inside with the heater running.  So why not get some KSPing done while it's icky outside? Some suggested activities follow.

Why re-invent the wheel when you can re-invent the kraken drive? @sgt_flyer put on his thinking cap and did just that. 

 

I still think it's cheating, but I'm not in charge of how you play the game.

No one has achieved this expansion challenge yet. Especially me, as I have failed several times. But it still seems worth a try, so why don't you give it a go? You can't do worse than I did, anyway. 

Thanks to @Yakky for coming up with it.

Stock challenges have been busy recently as well, and this is one of the most popular current ones. 

 

@RealKerbal3x is keeping score.

Honorable of you to correct the crediting situation, @DoctorDavinci. I have copied your text into the original post.

@Vanamonde

well, i like to tinker around in the VAB more than i do missions  so for me, the Krakendrive redesign was more an exercise in improving my knowledge of those, rebuilding those, and trying to improve the concept further

Learned a few more vab tricks in the process which can help me in other cases
