Hello fellow Kerballians! (Greeting/Introduction + Video)

[Luuko]

First off - Hi there! Name's Luuko. Former US Navy Sailor, current Senior at Radford University, Virginia, USA. (I'll work on my profile after I post this.)

Just found and purchased this yesterday after Lord_Stimpy's Campaign Mode vid series caught my eye on Youtube and made me aware of the game.

I figured what better way to make an introduction than to say hello and to offer up a video of play (warts and all) of my first successful circular orbit, satellite deployment and landing. (Hopefully no-one will bite me for posting this in the wrong thread!)

http://www.livestream.com/luuschannel/video?clipId=pla_4dfc0bda-570f-4052-8f2f-d319e43617ba

4 total launches in that video. 2 fun failures, 2 successful launches. No crew losses (very proud there!).

Decided to make it interesting and as a hats-off to Stimpy to play on this vid by his posted rules. At least, as close as one can get with just vanilla game mechanics and no mods anyways.

If I calculated things right...

Achievements: 30km sub-orbit, 60km sub-orbit, 80km sub-orbit, 100km sub-orbit, orbit, Satellite

Ending Budget: 108,649 Kiribans

Satellite deployed in circular orbit at just short of 150km near the equator (a little wobble of a few degrees I think). (Time in video is at aprox 1 hour 25 minutes.)

I'm going to apologize for the quality of the video in advance - livestream's quality is terri-bad. I may try FRAPs and youtube if I do this again.

Anywho, good meeting y'all and to the creators keep up the good work!

Thanks!

Any chance you can move this from the 'how to' forum to the 'welcome aboard' forum? I think I posted it in the wrong spot.
