That would be Music Television. Legend tells that in the Before Time, in the Long Long Ago, MTV once broadcast... music videos.... :o

whoa really? Why not google things :P
TV never was a big thing for me.

On one hand I want to say 1474 parts is quite enough, but on the other hand I never seem to stop, to the point where I question my own sanity.

That is approaching near computer melting performance.....

Today in KSP I made a space station out of just Soyuz Spacecraft. I call it the Soyuz Station! :cool:

The Core of the Soyuz Station, an unmanned Soyuz Progress, in Low Kerbin Orbit.

If you think this is cool, try it for yourself, it was kinda hard for me.

Love the Intro to that show, I think we are on our way there with Elon and the likes.................

Wait, so this was for Enterprise, not First Contact?  You know, the movie that the show stole the footage from?

Wow, so that last spark rocket actually broke my VAB. The craft file must have gotten corrupted, because if it's in there no craft will show up at all.

Nooo!!!
I've had this problem also happen to me. Is there an old version to recover or no?

Unfortunately not. Honestly, I don't feel too bad about it, I was only ever gonna fly it once and it was just kinda slapped together in the first place.

Alright then. Yeah, I can see why you would only fly it once.

Well, you did plead, "HELP ME"... maybe the Kraken had mercy on you and ate it before it could break something else?

Still working on the Komm bomber, the idea being to circumnavigate the globe, airdropping 3 kommunications relays on the way.  Ideally I wanted to do this supersonically, and my first iteration got close, showing over an hours endurance at 1000m/s, which I make about enough to get round the world, but that was without the payload on board

Adding more fuel, and more engines, just turned it in to a bit of a mess, so I had a go with a Mk3 cargo bay instead of Mk2'sr10xFCB.png?1

This flies well, and I love the wing design when I finally got it working properly, but still lacked the range.

Another attempt with Mk2 bays just got a bit silly

So I've finally accepted that if I'm going to do it it's going to have to be Subsonic, as the Goliath has over 3 times the ISP of the Whiplash

Currently testing this

Which seems to settle to 225m/s at about 7km altitude.  By my calculation that means a bit under 5 hours for the circumnavigation, and at cruise KER is showing 10.5 hours fuel remaining, so plenty for some loiter time over the drop sites and climb back to altitude. 

However, my disposable ones flew at about 200m/s so I'm tempted to just abandon the whole idea and fly them out individually, longer total time but individual flights will be shorter

 

So in summary, either I've just wasted 2 evenings of my life, or I need to waste an evening to use what I've been playing with :/

 

ETA:  Test drop of a relay
