Does that make it the Dome of the Rock? [/badumtish]

Physics is limited to 2km, which you all seem to have forgotten.

That's a minor issue. It's the doing, not the being-done.

Danny tried something like this before. Guess what happened.

The "planet-destroyer debris belt"?

Something very interesting occurred with my old career save.  I wish I had a backup so I could try to repeat this behavior, but it looks like there are the beginnings of an economy partially implemented in the game:

The new parts added in this patch were already unlocked in my existing career mode game, as I had already researched the areas that they belong to.  BUT, when I tried to build rockets with them i found them GREYED OUT and it told me that they had to be PURCHASED from the research building.

When I went to the research building, I found that I could click on the new parts and then purchase them for their listed price.  I didnt actually have any funds displayed anywhere, and there was seemingly no limit to what I was able to buy, so I just bought them all.

I started a fresh clean new career game, and I seemed to automatically unlock all parts as I researched them -- but I have not yet unlocked any of the areas that have the new parts in them so I cant be sure how it works.

Has this happened to anyone else?

[GreatWyrmGold]

It happened to me right after I installed some new mods.

As far as I can guess, when you unlock techs you unlock all parts in that tech, but you don't automatically get new parts put into those techs.

@Puke
You gotta go to the research screen, select the node the parts belong to, and unlock the parts individually.


My first asteroid brought into LKO:

I am planning to make a huge space station, collecting asteroids.
How many?
All of them!

Ps. God damn Imgur! stop changing the field I need to copy to link images!

I moved my potato onto one of the helipads on the VAB, I'm not sure what to do with it.

Get Hooligan Labs airship parts and take the asteroid on a trip around Kerbin.

Rewatching one of Danny's videos gave me an idea.

Would it be possible to create drop pods that, a la 40k space marines, can reliably survive a fall from orbit without using parachutes or winglets?

Well i believe the asteroid can survive the impact, but i think anything attached to it would blow up due to the Extreme G endure during instanteous stop of the vehicule.

[BigD145]

You can use debug to do it.

I bet you could make an intercept vehicle that included several sub-vehicles that detached from the mothership to mount parachute clusters onto an asteroid, and bring it down soft enough to preserve the attached vehicles.

unrelated, I just saw this kickstarter linked from the KSP G+ community.  Probably relevant to your interests, if you're reading this thread:

$50,000? HAH. Someone is going to run out of money way before finishing.

BUT DOES IT HAVE FULL 3D FIZZYKS

To be serious, this game looks awesome.
*Sighs wistfully, daydreaming of impaling enemies with Lady Liberty's spiky head.*

I think the real challenge now is to get an asteroid BACK into orbit.

[SOLDIER First]

UPDATE:

Thanks to Scott Manley, I have successfully achieved orbit!
...by copying his exact design, but success is success.

EDIT UPDATE:

-Science JR. Report: check.
-Mystery Goo Reports: already have them, so check(?)
-Crew Report: already have.
-EVA Report: check.
-Landing: check.
-Glitchy terrain: check.
-Jumping to get out of glitchy terrain: check.
-dead Kerbal: check.

i was so close to getting a surface sample ;-;
