So, which Kerbal or spaceplane won touch down first?

So, which Kerbal or spaceplane won touch down first?

The Kerbal, the plane went completely out of control.

Lathye re-entry following a successful aerobrake through Jool's atmosphere. You can see the remains of the Gigantor XL solar arrays in the background, which flew off the Atomic transit stage I had decoupled a few minutes earlier to expose the heat shield.

"Everything looks magical"

(It was not a kerbal that I was landing on Eve in that earlier post, btw...)

I'M ON FIRE! Oh My Gosh!

A perfect dive! Use your helmet to keep the shockwave at bay!

Here's me Aerobraking in Jool's upper atmosphere at ~113km at around 8km/s after a direct transit from Kerbin. Quite a hectic ride.

My Munar reentry may have been a bit steep.

Arrival of my new Jool Station, aerobraking into an orbital capture.

Reentry of a spaceplane.

Reentry of a spaceplane.

What on Kerbin is that coming out of the back?

Reentry of a spaceplane.

That's a crazy looking plane! I need something like that to get my kerbals back to the station, now they've all jumped back down.

What on Kerbin is that coming out of the back?

Looks like it is a jet engine misfiring due to lack of oxygen.

True story: I used to work in the F-16 and F-117 programs in the US Air Force. Once, early in my career, I was doing what's called fire guard. Basically you stand around near the rear of the aircraft watching for fire and maybe trying to put it out should a fire start. They give a great big fire bottle and everything. Anyway, on one launch while we were in Japan, a hundred quadra-zillion dragon flies were swarming around the base and our jets were ingesting them and spitting the flaming corpses out the back. It looked a little like that pic of the jet above. The powers that be decided maybe we should wait to fly another day.

Wow, that's something.

Of the 16 Kerbals on this Vall mission, only 8 remain alive. The first Aerobrake was neat though.

The Wayland Corporation Pegasus X2 aerobraking after dropping off 2 DEMV Mk 4s on the Mün. No real reason for the aerobrake, just really pretty.

All credit for the Pegasus goes to Devogen of Wayland Corporation. (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/24677-%280-19-1%29-Wayland-Corp-Development-and-released-download-Thread)

Wow, that's shiny!

The re-entry of my J-2 suborbital spaceplane.

Burn, baby burn!

The pilot survived, though.

[Klajan]

This one was useless, since it lost some part on its ascend. But it looked great.

De-orbiting a retired Kvasir LRMP Mk I platform -

[Vanamonde]

Returning from Jool. I call it, "Incinobraking."

[heihei4c]

This is my aerocapture scene on Kerbin when my interplanetary cruiser (KSA Discovery) return from Duna.

[ShachonianX]

Re-entry of one of my Jupiter UDTs. I actually de-orbited the wrong one.

[paleorob]

No more sticky?

[Deadpangod3]

Why isn't this stickied? And what happened to the rover thread?
