I think there was a minor flaw in my orbital trajectory.

Jeb is happy. Therefore, everything is according to plan.

Does anyone know how to disable the red filter that gets applied over outdated parts?  I don't care that they're old, they still work and I want my rocket to not look like a giant tube of lipstick.

Open and save every texture in Paint. If that doesn't work, save as a 32-bit PNG or something. I don't remember which it was.

Just open and save, however it seems to not work with older versions of paint.

Managed to get really really really close to the sun using that rocket I managed to fail to orbit with earlier.

I was going to take multiple pictures.  But after that point it was all pretty much just my pod on a flat white background.

Sun doesn't seem to have any gravity though, I never sped up approaching it, and my travel direction never changed when I passed so incredibly close to it.

The dwarven plans to harvest the sun's magma will have to be put on hold... :(

EDIT: Ha you read my mind PsyberianHusky.

Jeb is happy when the capsule is plummeting to earth with no parachute.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

The warhead portion of my MIRV:



The warheads launch fine, but for some reason, trying to add a propulsion system to get the missile to a target fails horribly; it flips over just after launch. I'm thinking it's something to do with those winglets on the warheads. They had a tendancy to launch straight up even when being release pointing towards the ground.

Not sure what's happening here:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 :D

I launched vertical and got up to a personal best of 6410m/s using only vanilla parts and put on time compression. To my surprise I eventually started reducing in height though my speed was still over 6k m/s. Looking at the orbiter viewer I was headed towards periapsis of... something. Does the sun have gravity?

I'm now nearing 200 billion meters from whatever and nowhere near apoapsis. My orbit circle looks more like a straight line. *shrugs*

edit: I've officially lost sight of the sun.

That would be because you're on an escape trajectory.
