Show off your awesome KSP pictures!

Since NASA shut down their own shuttle programm, I tried to do my own O.o

Took me a while and lots of fails, but I did it! But it was hard to level out the thrust "on the fly^^" to keep it on the right trajetory.

I really tried to do it with srb's like the original one, but no way :-D

Did anyone manage to get it done with srb's?

Place the "gjTIM" part of your link between (imgur) (/imgur) tags (replace the () with []), and it will work.

MIR build in progress:

It's missing parts and i will redesign it because the docking doesn't match up.

I have managed to build a mini version of one without SRB's, but after the update i replaced the liqued fueled boosters with the SRB's and it works flawlessly, i don't have any pictures of it with the SRB's (yet) but i can show you the development album before the SRB's were added:

My first plane to Laythe was probably the smoothest mission that I have ever had.

The landing was successful

Edit: Did some more flying today and got some good shots

I have returned from a year's hiatus living amongst and studying the rare flora and fauna of Kerbin. To commemorate my return to office, I have created a monument to the one thing I missed most on my journey of exploration and contemplation.

The humble bagel.

You're back! Thanks for staying a part of the FP thread too.

Hello Minmus!

Now I just need to land it...

evening mid launch with the mun in the background

[panfish5]

Milkin Kerman is the first kerbal ever to reach the highest point on Laythe. (according to kerbal maps)

[styckx]

Finally got around to installing the Linux version to escape the wrath of 32Bit limitations. Did the Segfaults and I'm good to go now.

Rockin 4.2GB of RAM use here.

the first Kerbals on an asteroid! got there on this 3.75m(or just 3m) monoprop based ship, and decided to build something of a base.

mid construction

I'm in a cave!

Its a skateboard on Duna!

Silly kerbal that's not how you sit!

Finally grabbed onto my first Asteroid.. Jebediah will die there as I barely have any fuel left... But I got there..

Rockdiver 1 makes my programs first asteroid, er... landing? Close encounter of the paint-swapping kind? Rear-end collision at 4cm/s? (Station keeping with these rocks is tough. All my future "Rockdiver" missions use The Claw.)

The KSS Argo makes rendezvous with its target, a class E rock. Hope 4 Jumbo tanks of NERVA fuel is enough... This is where I stopped for the night. Next session, the crew of the good ship Argo will go play in the rockpile.

Having great fun with this.

Having great fun with this.

Hehe, yep, that seems about right for KSP.

My most recent totally deliberate 'stress testing' flight, honest 'guv.

[Dizzle]

Flying near the mountains with the new release of the Visual Enhancement mod.

[Anton P. Nym]

Dusted off Nyrath's mod to create a Kerbal version of a real proposal; in case of an oncoming major impactor, send out a nuclear-pulse rocket to redirect it.* I introduce the KSS Carl Kerman, also known as "Big Carl".

Haven't actually tried an intercept with it yet, but I think I will with the next E-class rock I spot. I'm not quite sure that "the Claw" can take those g-loads...

-- Steve

* Though the real proposal would have put it atop a Saturn V, instead of using radial boosters, and I added the LV-Ns as station-keeping engines because RCS alone is agonizingly slow in a game.

[Wampa842]

After switching from a class C asteroid and Grabber II to Grabber I on its way back to Kerbin, I heard a large boom and this appeared on the map view.

Dildas Kerman: KSC, come in. Unidentified object detected near Munar orbit on the other side of the planet. Please advise.

KSC: Are you sure it's not the Mun?

Obi-wan Kenobi appears in the co-pilot's seat

Obi-wan: That's no moon...

James Kerman: Then what is it..?

Static is heard from the radio

Dildas: Oh, [Expletive redacted]

James: What?

Dildas: This can't be...

James: WHAT?

Dildas: That's [Expletive redacted] Kello! He just exploded!

KSC: Grabber II, please explain.

Dildas: (sounds of distress) It's Grabber I, he just exploded! He [Expletive redacted] exploded!

James: Is the Kraken back?

KSC: It very much seems so. Bring that asteroid home, then return to Kerbin as soon as possible. God help us all.

[Anton P. Nym]

Testing out the Arro "Prospector"; an RCS-only craft for exploring asteroids with a "claw" anchor system to keep it on the rock. Currently the launch system barely gets it out of the atmosphere, but it did get into a 150km circular orbit from there on its own jets. Nimble little sucker.

[OrbitusII]

Finally got the chance to play with the ARM update, got some cool stuff done.

This is AMSat (Asteroid Monitoring Satellite) and its purpose is to "monitor" asteroids and provide me with an idea of whether or not it is practical to attempt to capture them (mostly via seeing their inclination and orbital altitude).

With a little help from AMSat, I was able to send a tug up to grab a Class A and put it into a polar orbit. I want to put it into an equatorial orbit eventually, so I'll have to send up another tug. This will eventually be home to some science modules and a small station, but my eventual goal is a Class C station.
