Got dem old sub-orbital blues .....

[HW_Hack]

Actually I've made it into orbit many times and in Science mode (the new Beta version) I've just sent a Kerbal to orbit the Mun and returned him safely to Kerbin. Not the most efficient or elegant flight but Jebidiah did a great job and remained calm. Of course to pull that off I've watched many videos by Scott Manley. Next up - land Jebidiah on the Muns surface as opposed to crash land.

Great game and a lot of fun for a guy who was 13 when Niel Armstrong walked on the moon. I grew up with Mercury - Gemini - Apollo and recall our family and community was worried and enthralled by the whole Apollo 13 flight. So learning how orbits and transfers work and getting to the Mun lets me look at those memories a bit different.

Currently playing the 32bit (non steam) Linux version of 0.90 on the latest version of Ubuntu -- I do have some Linux background.
