OK, I finally finished my own hype train! Presenting the Hyperion!

Bill rolls out the Hyperion and takes it for a spin around the KSC.

Spoiler

"Actually, I wonder if I could do something more, I dunno, hypey?"

Spoiler

Bill considers how best to achieve greater hype as he drives around.

Spoiler

Bill finishes his hype booster, Iona, and talks Jeb into flying it. Of course, Jeb doesn't need much convincing. Val caught wind of the whole thing and wants nothing to do with it.

Spoiler

Unfortunately the experimental hypermatter reactors still have a few issues to work out...

Spoiler

But Bill gets them repaired and stabilized. Hyper-Iona is go for takeoff! Jeb fires up the liquid hyprogen engines.

Spoiler

Once in orbit, Bill deploys the radiators and auxiliary solar panels for the hypermatter reactors, which are needed to power the hyperlium ion engine.

Spoiler

Jeb sets course for Nebula Station, to test the docking procedures and refuel.

Spoiler

Disaster! Nebula Station, large as it is, still is less massive than Hyper-Iona. This results in a dishyperative field anomaly, and attracts krakino energy, thus destroying Hyper-Iona and causing significant damage to the station. Bill is last seen getting accelerated into an inclined orbit.

Spoiler

Thanks/blame to @Klapaucius for the idea of incorporating an ion engine, and inspiring more hype puns.

I feel truly privileged to have played a small part in this most Kerbal of adventures.

It better be.

[sturmhauke]

It is only open to those who pledge to build the train that will deliver us unto hype. Are you those people? Show me.

I will build the hype train IN KSP2! 

[MarkoeZ]

Well i made this back in 2012, does that count?
Mind that there were not that many parts available back then, had to improvise "a bit"

Once KSP 2 launches, I think I'll do a second badge for hype trains built in that game. I'll leave the original open for a while too.

@MarkoeZ, I have entered you to the Roll of Hype! Keep the train rolling, everybody!

You have the right guy in that case.

[sturmhauke]

My personal entry is very much not stock. I think everyone else's have been, but it's certainly not required.

Nice land rocket! Does it have a name? Also, for future reference you probably should have made a new post or pinged me or something. I only noticed your update because I came back to this thread looking for it just now.

Haha, awesome, thanks! 

Made me want to build a proper train though, badge felt too easy
So built a train that does not have the highest speed, but can carry around many many Kerbals on a facility tour
About 35 retired Kerbonauts on a tour

btw, tried one with well over 70 Kerbals, but my pc really did not like that

I see it as letting investors get a close look at the hype factory, to hopefully bring in hype money. You got a name for it?
