While I will not get to compete in the Kerbal Cup...

"See that airport? Over there? Yeah, I'm gonna hit it with this rocket."

In side news, still rebalancing the current system. Not listing left real heavily, but it's tipping backwards ever so much. So I need another pair of quick engines on that axis. Then I can do some good test launches.

Oops. Uploaded double, deleted the wrong one. Here's the picture that goes with the quote:

Out of morbid curiosity, how heavy is that payload?

Here's a crazier idea. Launch a large goal into orbit, and score with the rocket.

No idea, I'm rolling commando right now. Sans-mods.

I like this idea! I think I will do this idea! Though I have to make it interesting. Like have the goal 100KM away and hit it.

In related news, kerbal engineers conclude that their first generation MechJeb is "a little too big" and decide to focus on miniaturization for the next version.

On a serious note, this is definitely the coolest WhackProject yet!

Just go in map view and click the 'I' on the right hand side if the screen, that wil tell you the craft's total weight

Merde! That is crazy!

Brilliant as usual, reminds me of this guy i made for one of the fan works challenges.

Well this is what i got up to this morning.

Behold the Iron Giant

He is 100% stock but he can't do anything and i had to hack gravity to enable him to stand for the pics.

Now i'm feeling inspired to try and send him to orbit. Thank you, I was feeling burnt out after a year of play.

I can feel my mojo rising.

See, I spent maybe five hours ruminating over the best way to put together a robotic pelvis. Here you did it better than I ages ago!

You are using the new bigger parts though, I can see how that would cause you problems.

That so reminds me of this:

Whackjob, you make KSP awesome.

[m1sz]

it's not a robot if it can't move...

[Red Iron Crown]

Only in KSP would the phrase "I spent maybe five hours ruminating over the best way to put together a robotic pelvis" not seem absurd. XD

It still sounds a little absurd

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

It still sounds a little absurd

I still think the phrase "I spent maybe five hours ruminating over the best way to assemble rockets parts into a static robotic pelvis" is better.

[Soda Popinski]

I suspect Whackjob plans to have a kicking robot. That would require some sort of joint. I recall stock joints being made with cubic octagonal struts.

Here it is:

[Whackjob]

Uh oh! I keep forgetting my workweek doesn't match the actual week. Time is up, and I didn't get 'er into orbit!

... oh well! Time to prepare for the next challenge!

[OptimumAmoeba]

That's a shame

I had a go last night to launch mine and rather disappointingly my first test flight achieved orbit. I don't mean to sound arrogant or big headed but i was hoping for some spectacular failures and a nice bit of problem solving.

Perhaps it would be more of a challenge if I only used orange tanks and Mainsails.

Here's some pics....

You literally put a rocket up his ass.

Poor guy

[OptimumAmoeba]

lol!........

[Odielthen]

You should make this an actual challenge! I would love to see people's attempts to get your beautiful monstrosity into orbit!

[The Destroyer]

Dawww. I thought you would work on this until ye got er done, not the competiton!

But theres gonna be something more aweosme next...
