PTW. I can't make things fly at all, and I'd love to see you guys fail miserably as well pull off fantastic feats for all of Kerbalkind.

Here's Mission Log 1.

CognitiveDissonance, it's OK, because I'm pretty bad too. You should join us and it could be hilarious.

Mission 3 complete... though I don't have a spaceport account. Dropbox link okay?

Also. What is the MO for science points? Does the mission performer spend all science he/she accrues him/herself, or is it left for the next participant to spend?

You can buy one tech. But you need to get two, because we're one behind.

Ah, alright.

We're going to have quite a stockpile at this rate.

Just saying.

So. Mission Three complete.

The courageous Sherdred Kerman flew our R&D department's latest deathtrap spaceship, and flew it successfully, against all odds. Innovative rocket design and recent breakthroughs in construction allowed for unprecedented level of stability on takeoff, which in turn allowed for more power. And with great power comes... great !!SCIENCE!! potential, apparently. Sherdred succesfully returned from his mission, which took him quite far away from his planet, and brought back gifts of copious scientific progress.

Exellent! Go ahead and use whatever file service works for you.

Let's keep going with one tech each, with new techs being purchased by the person who completed their last flight, but after everyone's got a turn, we'll see how much of a stockpile we have and if we want to research something special.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Getting out for work, but here is part 1 of my turn 'nothing really happened'; will follow up in the evening.

With the succesfull mun mission under their belt, enginers could only shoot for the next moon, minmus!

It was decided that there was no way to start from scratch a new design: fuel were just added to the my little rocket.

Spoiler: my little rocket heavy (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: bitch is nose heavy (click to show/hide)

There was a little attitude problem with the outer engine pushing the little engine that control the attitude apart, making their action a little ineffective.

Much fuel was thus wasted.

Spoiler: here is the separation of the atmospheric stage, lower than expected (click to show/hide)


Spoiler: After some more burns we're in lko (click to show/hide)

Will the little space rocket heavy reach minmus? Stay tuned for more!

I gave this game a spin and am amazed how your first mission resulted in more science then my first like 10 or so.  I still have no clue how you hit that height.

I used the second-stage boosters to blow up the first-stage boosters. It's a technique that Scott Manley termed "rocket surgery", more an intuitive form of art than a science.

Also, there's lots of different "actions" that produce science. One is simply wandering around on the launch pad taking soot samples for the lab.
