Been lurking this forum for months so will finaly show myself.

Just wanted to say hi and tell the people that made this game that they are responsible for countless hours of lost sleep and the life of hundred of brave but very dead Kerbonauts now scattered in a increasingly wider pattern as i refine my rockets to make them fly further before there inevitable doom.

Other then that i can only say it was worth every hour and have after many hours made a reasonably impressive station in LKO and sent the first couple of stages for my modular munbase.

I even manage to make a encounter with another planet due to science pushing me out out into the deep end and as a bonus got to explore deep space a couple of times.

Best value game i ever bought and its not even finished so thank you.

My kerbals tend to live by that. Some make it back, some don't, but I keep sending them up. Maybe eventually I'll leave Kerbin SOI (Currently building a prototype for interplanetary travel)

I almost missed work, and in the military it's kind of a big deal.

I thought "Sense I already built the ship, and the previous model was already tested on the Mün, Mimis should'n take more than 2hrs" It was 11am and I have to leave for work at 3.30pm. So after landing collecting samples transmitting, collecting again etc. I engage escape boosters go into orbit collect more data in low orbit, transmit, collect again, etc. and then look for a vector that would set me on a collision course with Kerbin, burn, collect more data in high orbit. Then I start wondering: will the craft be worth more in recovery if it has been in orbit around multiple bodies (Mün + Mimis). Found a vector that would take me within 10k meters of the Mün surface, burn again. Right as I entered Mün influence i looked at my watch. 3.15pm! No shave, still in civilian attire, bed not made, etc.

At this point instead of saving and quitting the game, I decided to multitask. Cut the mission not to include orbit, made a queue for science transmission in near orbit (as I have not exausted the science there previously) and burned again to intercept kerbin (Mün was going to shoot me over the north pole @ a Kerbin exit velocity as i had to burn prograde @ Kerbin in order to intercept the Mün in the first place), increased time compression, and started to clean, etc. checked on my path, queued more science in Mün high orbit and time compress again (just a little, didn't want to overshoot). Shave, got back, decoupled booster and lander can (making sure i did not leave any stray samples in the can) and turned my nose retrograde. Changed. The capsule was starting to enter atmosphere, very fast I might add, still going the speed that would have taken me out of Kerbin influence. The burn passed in just over a second and the super sonic cloud formed around and behind the ship. Engaged parachutes splashdown recover. (gained over 1000 science for all experiments performed) quit the game and looked at my watch. 3.27pm. Bingo. :cool:
