Greetings one and all!

Just bought KSP last week and I'm already in love with it. It's tough love of course, and many Kerbals have died so that I can learn the basics (especially the ones in my space plane program). I'm thinking about putting a memorial in orbit to honor them.

I normally prefer action, but after finding my heart pounding as I landed my first rover on the Mun I realized this could be as exciting as any shooting or fighting game.

My only real disappointment so far is the lack of any sort of Canadarm (which would be really useful for clearing up all the debris I left in orbit).

Well, I'm off to lurk some more.

Scratch that, I'm off to try and build a space station. Lurking can come later.

Welcome to the forum and KSP Glad to hear someone else is having as much fun as the rest of us.

If you want a Canada arm may I suggest this mod - http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/robotic-arms-pack/

I put my first Kerbal on the moon today!

Unfortunately, his ship tipped over on landing. But with a little bit of creativity (retracting/deploying the landing gear to pop the ship in the air, RCS to adjust angle) he was able to get it upright.

More unfortunately, he didn't have enough fuel to achieve orbit. After attempting to return to Kerbin his ship fell to the surface of the Mun.

Most unfortunately, the Kerbal statue I built out of spare parts was far too unbalanced to get into orbit. Debris from my numerous attempts currently litters the sky. There will be no memorial to honor this mans sacrifice.

Welcome to the community Dean Harper

Shame your Kerbal couldn't make it home, but there's plenty more where he came from

Plus don't forget their jetpacks, and they have very tough heads

Have fun and fly safe!
