Show off your awesome KSP pictures!

[Jettuh]

suposed to be duna rover, but...

I was looking at your pictures and was like "BUT WHAT!!!".. took me a few seconds before i noticed you landed on the Mun

[FastMINI42]

I finally got my mission to Duna ready and out of orbit last night. I starting things off with a Mün slingshot, which just happened to be about 84km from my first Mün landing site. Melbald and Bob seem a little worried about the altitude while Jebediah looks rather excited:

Kerbol, Kerbin, and the Mün lined up rather nicely afterwards. Looking at my velocity before Mün intercept and after Mün escape, I got about 225m/s for free:

[WillHop]

Might be a slight issue..

Mun slingshots actually expend more Delta-v. It's better go directly to Duna.

First test flight..

AND ITS A SUCCESS.

Mun slingshots actually expend more Delta-v. It's better go directly to Duna.

I was able to get out of Kerbin's influence with about two burns that totaled about 880ish m/s (I have the exact numbers at home) after starting out in a 118km orbit ... the delta-v map I'm looking at shows 950m/s starting from an 80km orbit. Not a good comparison there, but I also looked at my orbital velocity right before entering Mun's influence and right after Mun escape and there was about a 225m/s increase ... I was assuming that I sped up by 225m/s. Am I interpreting that wrong? Or are you saying the slingshot is going to affect my orbit around Kerbol, which will then take more delta-v to intercept Duna? (my plan is to get out of Kerbin's influence before setting a node to intercept Duna). Incidentally, after passing behind the Mun, it looks like I'm not going to need any more delta-v to get out of Kerbin's orbit.

I'm new at this, orbital mechanics are still somewhat mysterious to me, and I'm just curious why a Mun slingshot would expend more Delta-V than a direct route. Thanks!

Took me two days of trying, but finally nailed it.

I built this Duna lander before I decided to delete my save file. The descent would have been powered by the third stage of a Proton. Almost all hope was lost when I found out that the fuel couldn't flow to the transfer engines, I was even about to send up a probe with two KAS bays on both sides. A kerbal would fly out and connect the tank and the engine block with the KAS probe that I would send.

made a helicopter, stuck the landing

and on a building, it handles quite well

I made a pretty spacedock! I made it by sending up a really gross ramshackle spacedock, I filled it up, then launched the good spacedock from the bad spacedock and de-orbited it.

Also I went back to the dark ages; Space is dark again! Now with 85% less RAM-overloading!

[AlamoVampire]

Sapphire is that starless background universe replacer?

or did he just delete the file for the picture? does it actually help?

[NinpoFox]

Refueled my MapSat.

Then discarded the tanker.

In honor of the Launch of LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere Dust Environment Explorer) I made this:

What movie is that from? I would imagine Gravity, but I don't remember seeing a fire extinguisher in any of the trailers. Is there a new one out?

[WillHop]

I made a micro station. Not that impressive but kind of adorable

[zekes]

oh. my. god. what. have. i. built.

This thing just shrugged off a 2.5 ton missile going 200 m/s. It's double armored (legitimately, the armor is 1.5m apart). And most important, it carries 16 Minimissiles and 2 shipkillers.

Yeah, that's the one. New trailer is out.

I built the biggest shuttle in my life. It need 6 main sale to lift that thing and the shuttle can carry a size of one ad a half orange tank of device.

MADEE or Munar Atmosphere And Dust Environment Explorer. I actually built it yesterday, but forgot to post it here.

Cruising to the Mun:

MADEE in orbit around the Mun (KSC discovered that the Mun has no atmosphere ATM. yay!):

After a couple of minutes months of hard work and continuous science work, it was deorbited:

Heck, that was fast. Travelling a couple of meters above the surface at ~550m/s!:

The crash was mostly horizontal, so many of the solar panels survived the first impact:

Lots of explosions came after that. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures.

[astropapi1]

I discovered one of the moho light fairies, on the runway!

I really like this one for some reason:

Also, Chris Hadfield just posted this on facebook, kinda related:

Haha, after watching the launch last night, that's pretty awesome.

Thanks!

Actually, the solar panel in focus in the last pic bounced off the ground a couple of times. The "Main" an planned crash ocurred on the daylight, but that one managed to get halfway through the night side before exploding.
