KSP Time Machine And Radical Duna Aerobraking

[NeoMorph]

So who else has noticed that when you get into a long mission that time in the real world passes at a humongous rate? Is the time multiplier in KSP multiplying real time as well lol.

I started a mission to resupply my Duna base this afternoon. This was at about 1pm... I just had KSP crash on me and I looked at the clock and it's 10:48pm. Where the heck did the time go...

I got so deep into trying to get to Duna with as little fuel used as possible, even going as far as doing some radical aerobraking (which actually got Duna to show re-entry effects), that I got mesmerised by the darn thing.

It's hard to see in that image... but here is a bit of video showing how much my aerobrake managed to pull in yet not much in the way of re-entry effects...

Where's that heatshield endcap piece from?

Where's that heatshield endcap piece from?

I think from a mod that is a addon to Deadly Re-entry

[MockKnizzle]

I believe that's the HOME heatshield, is it not?

We can use KSP to travel INTO THE FUTURE? Now we can take info from the future! But how do we bring it to the past?

Easy. Quickload.

Thank god for QuickSave.... I was just docking the last part of my Duna station when the view changed and the damned Kraken attacked and blew up everything. Was pretty spectactular tbh. A nice soft dock and the whole lot blows up. I think it was an IED fitted to the airlock. Hit the "GOBACKINTIME" button and tada... ship not docked and everything safe... for now.

So yeah... thank god for KSP time travel lol.

Oh yeah, and the heat shield is from the HOME pack. If I had deadly re-entry I wouldn't have survived a 3km AGL aerobrake manoeuvre.
