tried that. For some reason it wouldn't let me transfer fuel

There is ome mod that let you comtrol fuel flow very precisly and easily, i dont remeber the name, check on space port, it start with 3 letter V.something.

My take on an apollo style mission:

*snip*

I'll add in comments later on.

Nice! Even the same setup with the lander and return vehicle.

Mine was far less authentic, and it had just the one guy, but it was one guy and two rovers. One of which broke.
*snip*

I love that lander design, the veiw from the cockpit must be immense.

In unrelated news, I finaly have a proper spaceplane. It looks like hell, but at least it can get into orbit. Landing on the other hand? That's a little explodey.

[Twi]

So, got myself KSP 0.20.2, the new release of B9 ( which is pretty amazing~),  and Mk4 Fuselage (which aside from a front door is pretty much the same as ever).

And then awesome things happened. Seriously.

Dark skies of evening,
when no other bird dares to take flight,
one alone remains all-seeing!

Silly poem aside, meet the Yatagarasu line of various light transports. Most of them don't actually work so well, but a few stand out.

The original certainly gets props for looking pretty amazing.Sadly, it can't actually get off the ground very well, even when I put two more SABRES on the back of those other fuel tanks. It was supposed to be a SpaceShipOne style vehicle, doing suborbital hops and such for fun and profit. 

Several silly looking iterations and one switch from suborbital to STOL later...



The Type D, besides being hilariously over-engined, has an unusual sort of cargo bay that I'd end up sticking with. Sadly, the Type D didn't actually take off in a short distance all that well.

Now, the next one, the Type E, is pretty amazing. It flies fairly well (albeit hilariously oversensitive in roll), and it actually takes off in a short distance. You can take off with the brakes on, even. The L part is kinda tricky, but pretty darn fun, and also fairly short. Besides, most planes can't land at about 10 m/s. (Reverse thrust is very helpful, just don't get it moving backwards, because then it flips the fuck out.)

Wow. just...

I love you too. :3

I'm suing Twi for murdering my bandwidth with all those very large images :I

Hey now, I cut down on the number of them just for you. >:C

Fine. I'll drop the charges

Well, I've finally managed a milestone - it took three tries (the other two ships cratered,) but we've finally landed on the Mun.

There's room to improve, but we'll take what we can get.

What's the story about the landing legs? is that a self-righting-mechanism?

I think it's more of a "dignified landing mechanism".

Meanwhile, in crazy world:

You know what that reminds me of? Cargo, the Quest for Gravity. Except without all the midgets.

Kerbals, midgets.. same thing.

I umm... kinda forgot to place a splitter on the last section of the ship. It still landed though!
