What did you do in KSP1 today?

[Hans Dorn]

Paid a visit to Gilly.

I managed to hit the space bar while adjusting descent speed. Lost my landing gear and a load of fuel. Landed on the engine instead...

On my way back home with enough science to complete the tree

[LameLefty]

After over a year of playing this game (started with 0.19) I finally did a one-launch, Apollo-style LOR Münar mission. My launcher and lander are way over-designed - I'm planning this for a Duna mission but my next transfer window is over a year away. The test mission to the Mün went great. Procedural Fairings make this kind of mission über-cool.

[Hackman]

Which mod did those landing legs come from?

[Jouni]

My Tylo Ship returned back to Kerbin. When I was thinking what to do next, I realized that if a ship can go to Tylo, it can go to Eeloo as well. Because I hadn't landed on Eeloo before, the next mission was settled. I just refueled the ship and send Jeb, Bill, and Bob back for another multi-year trip.

When I reached the launch window, there was one small problem: Jool was in the way. There was no way to plan and execute an accurate transfer, so I just did an approximately correct burn to Jool, and corrected the course a couple of times on the way to Eeloo.

The lander was designed for Tylo, so it was powerful enough to land the entire ship on Eeloo. Still, that was not an excuse to waste fuel, so I left most of the fuel in the drop tank in orbit, and landed the rest of the ship.

I'm starting to like this ship. It's simple and efficient, and it can go almost anywhere.

Hey Jouni good stuff :^]

...

I flew by the space center. It did not end well...

[coreross]

Trying to build a space plane... is it cheating when I attached booster? Its the Kerbal way right?

[Hans Dorn]

Those are the big ones from stock, attached to fuel tanks.

Cheers

[SuperWeegee4000]

Cheers

I fail to see the point of this.

[Superfluous J]

I fail to see the point of this.

Of saying "cheers"?

After sending plenty of extra fuel to my Laythe station I sent the kerbals on a trip over to Vall for EVA and crew reports. Then returned them to the station while I design an unmanned science probe to land on Laythe and return.

This isn’t cheating - you’re not using part clipping or infinite fuel. You are also using stock. I don’t see anything wrong, just the design could use some improvement.

[cantab]

Agreed, nothing wrong in boosters. It's still a spaceplane, just not an SSTO one.

I will point out that you don't need the ASAS module any more since the command modules now do SAS, you can just use the regular reaction wheels and save a bit of weight. (Unless you're using a mod like stock rebalance that changes them.)

[Strelka-]

Got my space station up and running, it orbits half way between Minmus and the Mun, about 25 million km.

has about 9k fuel onboard, still got 2 empty tanks to fill up.

[TotalNewb]

I did my first (unmanned) landing on Duna, and I'm yet to master landing and going back from the mun. o_O

[Echostatic]

Over the course of several flights, I captured my first asteroid, moved it into orbit around Kerbin, and brought it to the surface. Jeb threw a plane together and flew out to it, it was not far from the launch site.

[katateochi]

I built my best yet low alt high speed plane, the DeadBolt, and got very close to something I've been wanting to do for ages; fly under the small bridge at in the RnD complex. I very nearly made it, entered the bridge at just over 150ms, all was looking good, my nose was almost out the other side when I felt my wing contact with the wall. I lost control and slammed into the VAB, didn't even have time to eject. But I know it can be done, getting the approach right is tricky, but the real hard part is avoiding the VAB on the way out, oh and not clipping the wall on the way through.

Here's a pic of the plane and a sequence of pics of the attempt.

Who's actually managed this? I'm sure its possible.

[EdFred]

Sent an armada of Kerbals to Mun. I hit all 15 biomes with 15 separate landers before the first week (Kerbin time) of career mode came to a close. (Thank you Kerbal Alarm Clock)

[TheVillain]

Put my newest science station in low moho orbit for maximum science gain.

[Beeburgers]

Another day, another Jet. I tried a double swoop for the wings for the whole stability vs not stable thing. I call it the Gull. Also: Swapped some Kerblenaughts out of the KOSS (Kerbal Orbital Space Station)

Jeb popping a wheelie just before take-off

Jeb "Drifting,"... Still not sure why we decided to do this right next to the space center

A completely planned test of the Gull's ejection system.

The KOSS. That's the shuttle on the bottom, and the little tug center right.

Whelp, I'm going back to flying the Gull in eccentric circles until I have to test the ejection system again.

[Rakaydos]

I landed on Tylo for the first time. However, I spent too much delta V pogoing to make it back into orbit

[Mitchz95]

Designed an expedition vessel that will visit Jool and its second moon. I've done Jool missions before, but I've never landed on one of the moons. Oh, and I have Deadly Re-entry installed as well. That means no aerobraking. *gulp*

My transfer stage has about 10,000 m/s, which hopefully will be enough to transfer to Jool, do an orbital insertion at Vall, and return the lander's command pod to Kerbin. I deliberately designed the ship so some parts can be jettisoned if I'm running low on fuel, though hopefully that won't be necessary.

[Andrew Hansen]

I didn't do this today, but two days ago. Nonetheless, I'll post it here.

I created an asteroid cinematic/short film called "Asteroid Disaster," involving... well, asteroids! I created it to celebrate 100 subscribers on YouTube. Also, when I created this film I didn't realize that pulling the asteroid rather than pushing it is way more effective. Oh well... I never used the rocket anyway. I was using Infinite Fuel and HyperEdit to do everything for me. But don't think about that when you're looking at the video. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Finally rescued Jeb with a sloppy rescue to mun (attempt 5) with 500dv to spare so I just burned it all off on my return trip.

More driving across Duna's ice caps - at one point, to the tune of Rascal Flatts' "Life is a Highway".

Today ASE (Academy of Space Exploration) has been testing an F-14 Tomcat inspired SSTO (made suborbital flight but was unable to circularize) which is intended (eventually) for my first Laythe attempt. (launch window in 79 days, ~ 40 days after my first Moho attempt departs).

Glides better than anything I've built before. Test 1 ran out of electricity well before managing to glide to land and touchdown safely. Test 2 was able to glide gently across more than 40 km with no fuel while slowly floating down, touched down on a hill with only the slightest bumps. Still not sure how I'm going to get it into a circularized orbit for docking manuvers, will likely need to redesign quite a bit before I'm done.

Another team was testing out the HGWells Mk VI lander (intended for Duna and Ike upon the next window). The testing phase includes a rover (not part of the Duna mission yet, might find a way to make it work.) Landed gently in the southern polar region of Mun roughly 32 km away from an anomaly, currently halfway there. Drove a bit carelessly so I've lost some parts from the back of the rover but snapped a fun shot with Kerbin in the background.

SCANSAT says the anomaly my team is chasing is the sourther Monolith, but the terrain is just too difficult for the rover to navigate. Might have to give up ~ 2,950m from the anomoly (nor enough mono-propellant to navigate the extremely steep hills or sudden and deep holes between them.
