Thanks!

I have plans to put it on the Mun. It shouldn't actually be too hard, given that the center of mass is pretty inline with the attachment node on the command pod.

You saw the farthest shot so far right there. I'm sure more tweaking could let it pass 700 meters. It's not particularly accurate, you might be able to fling a kerbal into an appropriately placed castle though.

I'm preparing to finish the current space program as version 0.21 approaches:

The mission to Duna ends after 379 days with a fiery re-entry in Kerbins atmosphere.

Heavy lander enters orbit around Eve to eventually retrieve two Kerbals from the surface. Chance of succes probably lower than 10%.

Lander ascents from Moho and has already made a successful rendez-vous with interplanetary transfer vessel. That transfer ship is however low on fuel and cannot return to Kerbin ATM ... !

Everyone at the Jacqueline B. Kerman Space Center is very proud of the bravery of these astronauts.

I think this is probably my favorite screenie from my visit to Laythe. It's just after I got the plane part back into orbit and docked it to the interplanetary drive section:

This is a bit earlier with Jeb posing next to the landed plane and the flag he planted:

Messing with drop tanks, just for fun.

Don't forget your launch clamps!

It actually flies. At full thrust, each tank empties in 5.3 seconds :D I got it into orbit on the last flight, this one was straight up and down. It coincidentially grazed the Mun's SOI just before coming back down.

Coming back down very *quickly*.

Vall passing in front of Tylo as seen from a rover cockpit view (zoomed in) from the surface of Laythe:

Observation was from 38 degrees South latitude.

That is so freaking cool, and completely in-line with what KSP is all about!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi! New guy, came in with the Steam sale; I've been interested in rocketry since infancy (I'm barely too young to remember Apollo) but it took me a while to get on board the KSP train. Wish I'd found this forum earlier; that'd probably would've made my early landing attempts a lot easier.

Most recently I've been messing with Nyrath's "Orion" mod with highly photogenic results:

I will probably post more later... apologies in advance. :)

Actually, those solar panels are stock. It's the small ones made into a really cool shape.

Oh, wow! That is an incredibly creative layout for them. I had no idea they could be made to look like that! Very, nice work in that case, certainly fooled me! :D

The basic concept is that you take the small solar panels and put them in 8x symmetry, then rotate it 90 degrees. That creates the octagon pattern, but the lines around the edges show. To get the seamless look, you just hold shift and rotate the panel so the octagon is concave.

This was my inspiration:

Dragon Space Exploration Corp's promotional flyer sent out to all Kerbals on Kerbin to gather support for the upcoming mission to the Jool system!! The KSS Cronus, a new Titan Class Transporter is approximately 750 tons (empty) and 110 meters long by 60 meters wide by 25 meters tall capable of transporting 21 Kerbalnauts and all their equipment to any planet in the Kerbol system!!
