I want to see everyone's cool Kerbal craft. How far in the tech tree are you guys if you played last night? Let's see some screens of your payload delivery systems. Don't worry if it's lame, just post the vehicle and the name you gave it. I'll do some tonight.

I put my thumb up my bum and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.

It's not bad! No fuel pumps unlocked yet research-wise? I assumed you'd do asparagus-stalk style, tho I could see not wanting to do that as its a configuration that hasn't really been used IRL due to the complexity and the # of things that can go wrong

Ah, I see, the bottom ones are SRBs and you can't asparagus stalk three boosters on the mid stage. Sorry, was on my laptop earlier.

no worries, I haven't even unlocked the fuel pumps yet. I'm just brute-forcing everything until I can unlock some more elegant solutions.

you can disable it if you want additional challenge but it seems pretty valuable for learning the basics ... I'm finally starting a new game today so hopefully I'll have done screens. You try again yet Ottormotive?

All I want to do is fly too close to the sun. If Icarus could do it a hundred years ago, I should be able to do it now.

Yes, I was up until 3 am because i lost track of time. i started a new career mission, and orbited mun. I'm sure i'll be wasting more time this week trying to get a lander down. It's nice to know if my guy gets blown up when trying to land I can just load my last save instead of trying to restart from the launch every time.

Re-entry is throwing me for a loop. All the little doodads I use to stuck to the sides of my capsule heat up and explode. Still haven't lost a kerbonaut though.

Yeah, me too. I'm trying to use the service bays, but they get wobbly and break my ship apart. Sometimes at MaxQ, and sometimes for no reason.
