So, ank, you're next

Sean gets the turn after yours if he find time.

[ank]

On it!
Instead, let's let Sean speak up when he has time.

First launch crashed on the pole, but it did go briefly into space first!

[ank]

Boom, a mission in 2 hours! Take notice, cadets!

Save is Here


After a bunch of crashes and failed designs, I went to space, and then to the poles:

Story here

I got about 40 science, and bought the next science tech, which includes the materials bay.
I chose science since there was still no rockets to chose from, and we are running out of places on Kerbin to do science.

Should put yourself on notice, as I already posted a <2 hr turn around with my first turn :p
Grabbing, Mission Enroute.

Nice!

You flew to the pole o glided here?

My plane to reach space wasn't really airworthy and just kind of dropped back

Passed on picking a Science project, next in line can use mine if they want. Both choices are more sources of Science.

Xoriginx if you can put another fast turn in you're up!

[ank]

Nice!

I flew there after I hopped into space, since I needed the planet rotation to get above 70k, i had to launch at 90 degrees.
Then I just flew in the upper atmosphere at 1500m/s

I made it to the pole before, but the plane fell over while landing, so I fitted parachutes.

GOOD JOB on all dat sweet sweet science!


EDIT: you also beat my time, you took 2:20 and I took 2:40

Why did you bring 3 materials bays if you were gonna transmit all the data anyways?

But GOOD JOB on all dat sweet sweet science!


EDIT: you also beat my time, you took 2:20 and I took 2:40

I'm pretty sure I still hold the record though, at 1:10.

Sensei, Ninja turn time for you as well?

[n9103]

Just to clarify the redacted comment I noticed (thank sensei's quoting )
I took the large number of multiple items because we can't transmit beyond LoS yet.

I've tried on my own over the past week to set up a ground-based relay network, but at best, it's ridiculously launch intensive.
We need to get a rocket motor asap, even the most basic would still allow us access to Kerbinsationary, which is where we need to get three Sats.

Hopefully someone knows the tree's layout? Advice on the direction to take towards rockets would be much appreciated.

rocketry is going left; here is the tech tree

Very nice!
You heard the man, Leftward Ho!

At the time I hadn't seen the last science screenshot, so I assumed you transmitted everything.
But in the case of recovery, it makes sense to take 3 material bays.
