Jeb's Sunglasses Test

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

Jeb has new Sunglasses now and want to try it 'Jeblike'.

oO(Since they were aground on the Mun :-[ Jeb is a littele bit soft in the brain )

Shoot for the Sun and try to land on it.

AND ignore my very bad English.

Pictures would be perfect.

[Asmosdeus]

You can\'t land on the sun as far as I know, its just a texture, light source and gravity well right now. Might be wrong however. You can go straight into the heart of the sun though!

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

hmmmm......****

ehhm well,

I\'ll change the Target to: Fly trough it :D:D:D

[Asmosdeus]

They are planning on make the sun a solid object soon.

Really? Cool.

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

Stop Talking

Start cooking the Kerbals!!!!!! =P

what

You mean Kerbol right?

Dude what the fuck have you been smokeing?

you can land on the mun. its dificult to do without exlpoding or modded parts, but you can slam straight into it in a prettyfull explosion.

Asmodeus is the guy who did this;

So I\'m pretty sure that it was just a spelling mistake.

[Asmosdeus]

Fixed, had a blonde moment.

[supertoaster98]

I´d say... Not that i haven´t had any myself. :-[

Landing a spaceplane on the moon, now thats BADASS

Thats not the challenge guys!!!!

Plenty of people have done it; for example, when you see the shots of people flying at ludicrous speeds (I\'ve seen over half the speed of light) this is how they did it.

[SteevyT]

Good enough?

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

Good enough?

no ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Asmosdeus]

Yes it is, challenge complete.

Once you get the Pe down below a million you get around 187km/sec. When I find some spare time I\'ll try shooting out past Kerbal, see if I can quadruple the distance travelled... I\'m interested to know what happens when you approach 300km/sec.

[DaniRH]

Um... does INSIDE the sun count?? I got a tight orbit with no perigee, but the ship controls bugged out before i could get a full stop.

[trbinsc]

If you go straight into the sun, no horizontal velocity, then it bugs out and spits you out at over the speed of light.

[Millitron]

If you go straight into the sun, no horizontal velocity, then it bugs out and spits you out at over the speed of light.

I don\'t think its over light-speed; every time I tried it I couldn\'t get over 15million m/s. Thats very fast, but its not faster than C.

[Kryten]

I managed- I think the trick is to make sure that your horizontal velocity is as low as possible-mine was under 0.1m/s

[Millitron]

Yeah, I zeroed my horizontal velocity. Definitely had it under 0.5m/s. I think there\'s more to it, like perhaps it has to do with how far out the apoapsis of your original solar orbit is. I would imagine you would get going faster it you zeroed your horizontal velocity at a higher altitude.

I may have also screwed it up, because as I passed through the sun, I used up the last bit of fuel I had to try to speed up. Perhaps I accidentally added some horizontal velocity, and screwed it all up.

[Switchblade88]

My first attempt; actually testing the BFE (where are those heatsinks??)

Arrgh! It burns!!
