[Sowcase] The Grand Re-Entry MEGATHREAD!

[Tw1]

The rover thread has made its way to the spacecraft exchange sub-forum. And that's wierd, the lack of sticky.

♪Strange things are hapenin'.. ♪♫ Strange things♪....

I'm not sure how well this qualifies as a RE-entry, but here was landing my multi-part lander on Eve:

I've also got some good ones of landing a spaceplane on Eve. That thick atmosphere really makes for some fun-looking entries...

Propably biggest structure I´ve ever aerobraked over Jool - huge Antena Array made by "Temstar"

And some light effects on MCLEC Essex (light modification of X-305 series by Donlokiman)

here is jep on re-entry lol

[Pyromaniacal]

This one was a puzzler.

This is my first launch in 0.20, I was optimistic that some mods would be good to go. Here we see 4 pairs of launch clamps from the craft I just finished launching. After reentry, they left atmosphere again, velocity unhindered by the atmosphere.

wat

I don't even...

I think I'll try again, all stock.

So that's where this ended up... Seems a funny place for a thread like this.

Okay, so I decommissioned several older craft to make room for the new today. Lots of images!

My old MKI station, the KSS was retired. It didn't have any propulsion to de-orbit, so I had to send up an assembly tug to give it a gentle push.

It came in shallow and broke up early, right over KSC at night, giving the ground crews a light show.

Burning up passing the island airstrip on its way out to sea.

Prototype X was retired, having fulfilled its purpose as a forerunner for the new class of frigate, now titled KDV Ambition. Here it is shedding its solar panels while trying to keep the nose up on re-entry.

The light show really was spectacular.

Look at the SIZE of that thing!

With flames still licking at the trusses, the crew module ejects, cleaving the ship in two.

Using its RCS thrusters to break free of the doomed vessel, it flies over the sensor tower.

and deploys its parachutes as the nose falls downward and the ship plummets to Kerbin.

The fireworks hadn't ended yet.

miraculously, a rover survives the crash and wheels free of the wreckage to join the crew.

This heavy interplanetary tug was commissioned immediately before the completion of the new Clamp-o-tron Sr, and was made obsolete before the end of its first week. Here it is being decommissioned to make way for the new and improved model.

Burns like a star.

The Deep Space Station Explorer I was decommissioned following the discovery of missing safety equipment: the jeb seat lacked a seatbelt. It's also being cleared to make room for the MK II, which will be deployed with the -correct- mission flags.

Check out that crazy debris trail.

The chutes, the chutes, the chutes are on fire. We don't need no water....

[Vanamonde]

I'm afraid I have no sows to case.

[monster727]

pleaze give us a .craft file.

[Colonel_Panic]

pleaze give us a .craft file.

for what? There's a hundred ships in this thread.

I had to deorbit my Mk I Leviathan immediately after making orbit because I accidentally broke a solar array in EVA and didn't quicksave, so here's the fireworks. A 21-decoupler salute for the 37 Kerbals who went down on this mighty vessel!

Still hasn't managed to circularize yet, after 5 versions...

I need to get those artificial gravity rings. Where are they?
