Show off your awesome KSP pictures!

[Specialist290]

The other modpack is ClairaLyrae's KSPX parts, specificially the Panopticon command pod. It's got quite an awesome view.

Today, Jeb was practicing proximity flying on the Mun, but he came too close to the fire (obviously) and the LV-909 got squashed:

travelling at 200 m/s, and with the Munar soil eager to eat away another part of his ship, he had only a handful of seconds to bail out from the capsule and get his EVA pack ready.

slow down and get back on the ground? pffft, that's not what Kerbals do: time for orbit insertion!

'Somebody order a Kerplow?

Best name ever.

Hi all. Have had the game for a while but only recently got back into it. Figured this was a good place to jump in.

Munrise from orbit

My current space station, the KISS (Kerbin Interplanetary Space Station). Can hold 8 Kerbin comfortably and 12 uncomfortably.

"All alone in the night..."

[tcawte]

Just playing around with some lights mounted to rovers, pretty impressed with the results

It has a big effect on the ol' FPS though...

[Hocki]

I just came up with a brilliant idea. Why not put a rover on Gilly?

In sight

Wow, the gravity is really low!

I can't move

The rover is now a lander.

[Tex_NL]

What mod parts are those? They look nice.

Cupola comes from KSPX

White Hab with illuminated windows and end plates come from B9

Trusses come from THSS

The only thing I do not recognize is the radio dish on top of the structure.

Edit is there a way to delete this post. sorry

This is from my third munar landing, observing an eclipse. Don't know why, but I like it a lot.

[The Jedi Master]

Off to new worlds...

Eh, good enough.

Try tumbling.

MOSS with Kerbin in the background. My Munar orbit tug successfully brought Spirit of Sedona into MOSS for a refuel.

MOSS with Auxiliary Orange Tank to Orbit, munar tug, Spirit of Sedona, and a Kerbin-return vehicle. I need to get another one up there.

This idiot broke one of my panels by failing to grab a ladder correctly. Launched himself right into the solar array!

Closest landing yet - Spirit of Sedona only 800-odd meters away from my crashed Mun rover.

[The Jedi Master]

I beat my dad to the Mun.

[Giggleplex777]

Finally landed a SSTO on Minmus! (Actually, this was the first time I tried)

[fish whisper10]

im new to the ksp scene i would like some pics of an attempt of a spitfire and also the me 163 komet becasue i would like to see what your versions are like and possiably copy them .

How does it take off again?

[Giggleplex777]

How does it take off again?

Tip it over and take off.

How I landed it:

Shut off the engine and tipped over.

Haven't seen those for a while.

So the time had come to put a supplier's airframe to the test, commissioned as HSTAC WhiteRaven.

Pilot Bill Kerman was assigned as primary pilot for the program, and was behind the stick for every stage of testing. After having signed off on the frame's V/STOL capabilities, Bill pushed for an accelerated testing schedule, and found himself airless in the new high speed trans-atmospheric courier by the next week.

According to Bill, the purpose-built engine harness was exceptionally easy to mount, and found no faults with WhiteRaven's on-board computer links after docking. In fact, the systems were so stable that he requested immediate clearance to proceed with the grand finale of the HSTAC testing series: a round-trip to Duna. Naturally, Control wasn't going to approve short-cutting the procedures, but Bill decided to go anyway.

Fifteen hours after establishing his Duna transfer orbit, Bill ran the systems through various simulations, and found the engine capabilities of the harness a bit short of expectations, though they were more than capable of shuttling the HSTAC to any major point of interest in the Kerbol system.

Three months later, Duna was greeted by the roar of WhiteRaven's engines, braking for a parking orbit along the equator.

Bill spent the better part of four hours plastered to the canopy, staring in awe at the spectacle beyond.

Bill then made a decision he would later look back upon with severe regret: he de-coupled from the engine harness and decided to make an attempt to land on the surface

His mistake became clear a mere few thousand meters from the planet's surface: WhiteRaven's V/STOL engines are air-breathing, NOT ROCKETS! Warning buzzers and angry red lights assaulted Bill's senses as he punched the HSTAC's main drives back into action, and clawed desperately back into the sky, avoiding an explosive end to his trip by little more than a hundred meters.

Happily, Bill realized he'd risen from Duna's paltry atmosphere to find himself on an almost perfect intercept course with the engine harness again, and had WhiteRaven snuggled back in place in short-order, charging the systems for departure.

The return leg of the trip was completely uneventful, save for some finagling and picky maneuvering at the end to evade the computers' constant nagging about intercepts with the Mun. Nearly 3.5 Kerbin years (365 Earth days) later, WhiteRaven was on a capture trajectory home. Tuning back into the KSC's control frequency, Bill endured his friend Jeb's screaming after announcing his safe return. Back on the testing profile once again, Bill left the engine harness in its designated parking orbit and fired for home.

The Mun taunted at Bill's conscience as he made his long, careful descent into Kerbin's atmosphere. "I wonder if- NAH," the flight recorders heard him say to himself. The telemetry recorders also noticed a momentary jump in the throttle and back pressure on the stick, which immediately prompted another round of Jeb's angry screaming in Bill's headset.

Descending gracefully over the Kerbala mountain range, Bill homed in on the KSC runway beacon.

As he had done countless (two) times before, Bill triggered the hover engines in preparation for landing. He was almost home again!

Then, at the very last moment before touchdown, DISASTER! Bill Kerman (unrelated to another KSP test pilot of the same name) was killed in a tragic and apparent sudden increase in the local gravity. In the blink of an eye, HSTAC WhiteRaven was reduced to a shower of burning metal, plastic and karbon fibre.

RIP, Bill Kerman. You were an impulsive clown, but you will be missed.

Space cruise Kerbin-Mun-Minimus-Kerbin (minimus pictures are lost but it was successful)

[zekes]

Ha. Full of win. Only me and Brobel can do this.... take off from water.

[Hocki]

Did my first Mun landing in a long time with Columbia I. It took only 13 hours
