Bleh, trying to get a fuel refinery into orbit. Tried to launch the whole thing at once, but it cost over $1.1 million, and kept crashing after dropping the first stage. The next one, I'm sending up one piece at a time and docking them. These are costing me about $150k a launch.

And it didn't even work! It somehow managed to shake itself hard enough to blow up its solar array(the big, expensive one), despite having no reason to be moving. Trying to transfer to orbit from the ground via the logistics hub(MKS mod, I think, plus Karbonite) takes a day and an hour and loses 80% of the Karbonite. And launching the pieces was about $180k, not $150k.

The alternate solution was to launch a large fuel tank into orbit and dock to that, but that didn't work because it twisted around itself.

Argh, gonna just nuke all the failures and modify the savefile for some extra cash.

A new Danny videos will probably be coming out tomorrow. Probably involving a new phantom force engine involving the... Klaw?

I had to send up a science patch craft to the Mun with KAS enabled parts for a previous mission. One tall 1.25 tank and a Rapier plus ion powered probe worked like a charm. The xenon tank was only half full. Later I blew it up because Interstellar requires impacts for the seismometer. Best 20000 monies spent.

So that's why I can't figure out the seismometer anymore! Damn it.

I think 6 is the proper number of impacts if you spread them out around the body your sensor is landed on.

6 is also the number of seismic sensor you need if you want to make the most of a single impact.

As soon as I saw the asteroid I knew exactly what he was doing. He's a goon so of course he'd start the video with that.

Without a doubt, the most important and game-changing feature of this new release is the improved grass texture at KSC. The rest is just filler.  :P

KerbinSide is going to see how easy or hard it will be to make their alternate launchpads and such destructible.

Its not the same if I can't pretend that there are thousands of innocent kerbals in my way.
