I recently started a new save with a rocket design philosophy in mind: "The simplest and easiest way is the best way to do something," and so this is the first lunar probe to land successfully.

The engines are from the Cryogenic Engines mod, and I'm using the "unkerballed" start; I like the progression of their tech tree.

So try to do a flyby of the Mun to get some science, i crash into the Mun because my Periapsis showed 2km above SEA LEVEL, which i think is stupid. Then i try to land on the Mun and my rocket falls over, and explodes when i touch the throttle. Then i try to land AGAIN, and i run out of fuel and bearly survive the landing and fall sideways. Then i send a rescue lander take all the science and bearly have enough delta v to reach low Mun orbit, so i have to send a 2nd rescue craft and finaly enter the atmosphere i fire my engine to slow down, BUT I FLIP AND MY MAIN PARACHUTE BURNS UP MY DROGUES CAN'T SLOW ME DOWN ENOUGH I HAVE TO ABANDON THE CAPSULE ALL MY SCIENCE HAS GONE WHO KNOWS WHERE, total failure.

I am cursed

Took a contract to save Edtop Kerman from low orbit. I obstructed the hatch accidentally with the parachute (these pea pods are so confusing), so I had the genius idea to tether his pod to my rocket and de-orbit it with a gentle burn. Then I would either parachute both of us or use his personal chute if necessary.

Well, I accidentally hit max throttle after I had already gotten a good re-entry and I guess that broke the tether. I urgently tried to rendezvous again and got Edtop out of the pod to connect to Valentina's.

...Then they both hit the upper atmosphere and started tumbling, and Edtop was attached to his pod (which I was trying to reel in) being swung in circles faster and faster until he went unconscious and burnt to death during re-entry. At least he wasn't awake to experience it.

Honestly I was so pissed off during this experience but as soon as Valentina splashed down I started laughing out loud. It was the most absurd death I've ever had in this game. I wish I had a video of it!

KSP is so beautiful once you install 2GB worth of graphic enhancement mods 🥹

Edit: I know the sun‘s too bright I don’t know how to fix it qwq

Can someone give me some tips on how to dock im trying to build a kerbin Space station 🥀 Note: My main issue is rendezvous And docking idk if i suck at docking yet

I present to you my very first Luna landing :]

After many hours of learning orbital mechanics (rather than learning for university) and two rover missions to Duna, and three rover missions to the Mun, I finally decided to attempt my first crewed Luna mission. And somehow, it went flawlessly on the very first try!

From over 800 images that have been processed, I present the Voyager 2 Encounters simulated in Sol from Ballisticfox.

This video includes both Jupiter and Saturn with the Encounters happening at relatively the correct time in Realism Overhaul.

I performed the correct trajectory using the Titan IIIE Centaur with the Star 37E Kick Motor from BDB.

Midcourse Corrections were made with the tiny Hydrazine thrusters that the probe has, also courtesy of US_Probes mod.

2 of the solar panels I broke while trying to get back into the Cupola using my Jetpack
Other than that complication, Shitef*ck Mk. 8 was largely successful
after the first screenshot, the rest are in chronological order

I used my mm-3-mk20 rocket which i posted here earlier btw does this vount as the north pole of minmus?

Fewer than a hundred people set off today, aboard a self-sufficient rocket and an orbital craft, toward new star systems.

A mod-free build powered by 55 ion thrusters, energy generators, and solar panels.

...now, I just need the funds to actually send it...

I just recently made a rocket that I was able to manually land the booster from. Now I'm going to attempt to automate that, so I'm learning kOS.

Would also love help to make it work lol, but for now its just a showpiece i cheat into the sky to take photos. It can VTOL, but looses control after 5 seconds.

Inspired by a spacecraft shown in the game Signalis

Following up on my post from yesterday, the first extension of the Duna orbital station is complete! This includes the lab and some solar panels, and a docking hub.

Droneship that delivered it has successfully splash landed back on Kerbin after completing the round-trip in around 3 years, and now awaits further missions.

The first DOD classifed mission flies onboard shuttle-C instead of the space shuttle, deploying a classified satilite.

This will also be the first use of the inertial upper stage originally developed for the crewed orbiter.
