I have found it!! - THE ORIGINAL KERBO LOG!

[zekes]

woah, this is too cool. Gold mine. I still have a picture of my first plane in KSP, made out of C7 parts and an old tinfoil Ion engine. It's gone from KSP (ive switched computers twice now) but the hardcopy print remains. I love this game.

[StrandedonEarth]

So let's see. The Kerbal X was the first over 5m. The second milestone contract mission is to reach 5km. Coincidence?

Very cool to see btw; first time I saw it.

Resurrecting . I've definitely seen this before, but I haven't appreciated it until now and hearing about the models rockets from Squadcasts and other vocal interviews. For those of you who look at this, you're awesome.

His/her awesome what?

I had to. Sorry.

This again!

I love the reminder that KSP has at its roots actual model rocketry. My 6th grade class would assemble model rockets and launch them outside the school. The janitor had the pleasure of fetching a number of them off the school roof. Those things are amazing.

Lucky! My school district neglects astronomy and rocketry as being important sciences. :|

Anyways, these original drawings are really cool! It's those early days of KSP --those before the game existed-- that really fascinate me. Who would've known that such a little idea could turn into such a huge game and incredible community?

Lucky! My school thinks being able to tell Jupiter from mars is GCSE level and no-one knows the difference between astrology and astronomy.

[Aragosnat]

Nice little find and hope it keeps getting necro'ed.

So true. 5 years of physics lessons and only TWO of them were related to Space in any way. And even then, it was just memorizing the planets and briefly covering the life cycle of stars...

Is that a Sara Kerman in the final crew? (ducks and covers)

And why are all the pilots "n/a" yet "KIA?" Does that mean there werepilots, they just didn't have names? From the picture I get the impression they were just stuck onto the engine (this must be where the idea for the EAS-1 came from).

Seriously, awesome post. It reminds me, someone should make a vid of KSP to the soundtrack from October Sky. Or vice versa.

"And now begin the explosions. Followed by a light salad."

this drawing should be in a building somewhere at KSP center

I'll second that.

[TimberWolffe]

I need to strap a rocket engine on a model airplane now.

*Goes off to modify existing Mosquito Mk. VI*

been done!

Absolutely. They could have some interns standing around a chalkboard with those drawings on it, perhaps in a corner of the VAB or something.

So much yes. Please, devs?

snip- werepilots

Only on fullmoons does the werepilot come out...beware....

He only flies on full moons, they offer a larger area to pick a landing spot.

[Whirligig Girl]

I just realized "Kerbal X" Was the most successfull of these flights, which is why the Mun Rocket is named Kerbal X!

[LethalDose]

It should be on the fridge where they keep the snacks in the astronaut center.

[Fun1k]

And the Kerbal spirit was born!

[HafCoJoe]

I saw this a few months ago top . I just noticed that the first rocket that worked successfully was called the "Kerbal X". Awesome job making it into a stock rocket! I love discovering the little bits of history or secrets in games . Nice touch.

Reminds me of how I can hop on to my original Minecraft world and recognize little things I hid there three years earlier...

how about... here:

(Note to be clear: this is not in-game, I hacked it into this image, as a suggestion. Its so small and unreadable, that you either know what it is - or it just looks like a note on the wall.)

I thought it might be a good time to revive this due to 1.0 being so soon.

[Robotengineer]

This is the oldest active thread methinks. This is cool anyways.
