A spinning satellite story

[kacperrutka26]

Hello everyone!

Today I will tell you a story that happened to me last night while I was playing KSP.

To start off I am developing a satellite that can orbit the moons and Kerbin it self. So I have the satellite ready but every time I make the engines to take off they always spin wildly even with struts. Never mind about the construction it is sorted now. So I got into space but before I got into a full orbit I ran out of fuel, The apoapsis was about 470,000m. So I knew it will fall so I got my Kerbanauts to get onto the ladders of the satellite for the last time (They won't die but the satellite won't survive the impact even with parachutes, it won't destroy the whole thing but to get to the ladders you need EVA which is useless on Kerbin). The Pilot that was left alone had a crazy idea to spin the rocket. Sounds like Jeb to me but Jeb is on Kerbin doing research. So he was spinning and the Kerbanauts enjoyed it but he spun so fast one of them fell off! I saw him fly off but I didn't see him in space! So I used the "[ ]" keys to switch to him and EVA the way back to the satellite. (They were already near the apoapsis so I thought this isn't a joke anymore) When the Kerbal got back the other one fell of faster than this one, so again I used the "[ ]" keys to switch to him and EVA'd to the satellite. They luckily got back home safely with some parts broken but never mind.

Altogether the moral of this story is: NEVER SPIN A SHIP WHEN YOU ARE IN ORBIT AND KERBALS ARE HANGING OFF THE LADDERS!

Here are some pictures I took, hope you enjoyed this little story!

Thanks for watching this story, I will make a video in my series when I actually get this beast into orbit.

its a kerbal sport, something like riding the bull

Yep, ride the bull, fall off and struggle to get back on and activate the chutes before the "bull" smashes at 2000 m/s into the ground... fun
