Okay, I found myself a nice spherical fuel tank pack.

NOW things can get really Freudian...

Rocketboob hurhur?

Not quite....

Spoiler: Freud! Freud! Freud! (click to show/hide)

That's a lot of balls

I moved the fuelballs up, but then I had to connect them to the engine with a fuel line.

Given the Kerbal nature of crashing things into other things, explosions and what not, it wouldn't surprise me if Kerbals are distant relatives of Krogans.

In that case, that's a normal number of balls.

Well that was a pleasant turn of events. My explorer rover overshot the Mun, and landed on Minmus. This is pretty nice, because I already had a rover on the Mun, and had never been to Minmus before. Also, completely missed the flat frozen lakes and hit one of the mountains. My lander got destroyed, but the rover was completely intact minus one wheel, and it can get by fine with five. Aw yeah.

Oh wow. If you haven't watched The Spirit of Kerbin video series lately, do so. Just watched episode 7. Holy crap. http://www.youtube.com/user/MaceyDean?feature=watch

unfortunately the 0.21 screwed up the save and there wasnt any updates on his chanel for two months now

I'm still waiting for that series to continue... It's been a very long while since 0.21 came out...


Edit: Been playing around with that Spherical Tank Pack and the Kethane pack.

Ladies, Gentlemen and Assorted Transvestites, I present to you: The Munar Kethane Finder

Spoiler: Pictures (click to show/hide)

First, the lift-off stage


After the liquid fuel boosters run out they are dumped and the Orbital Stage comes into play. It launches the Kethane Finder into orbit and on a Munar trajectory. The Orbital Stage can also be used to adjust the Munar orbit.


The Munar Orbit Polarizer stage (shown here while testing on Kerbin (read as: i messed up and forgot to add the solar panels)

I have to say, I fell in love with the Skipper engine during the building of this. It's not quite as strong as the Mainsail, but it provides better fuel efficiency and does not overheat and explode. Not too often, at least.

It is quite good.

In other words, failing at mun and getting duna instead is good, right?

[Krevsin]

What do you mean, failing at Mun? Duna was the primary destination all along.

[Aseaheru]

I was trying to shove a sat in the muns orbit and wound up heading to duna.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Thats called a gravity slingshot. You were going to Duna all along.

[Aseaheru]

Well, its a nice way to explane things in videos.

[Krevsin]

remember, there is no such thing as failing your primary objectives. there is only the realization that your original interpretation of your primary objective was wrong.

okay, i think i have spent a couple of hours staring at phallic rockets more than is entirely healthy.

[LoSboccacc]

any lander I made to return from eve with the required huge dV is aerodynamically unstable and flips violently at 10km from the surface.
