TO THE STARS!
So far I've learned that dual engine jets are not the way to go...
Tonight I plan to land on the MUN!

I just got the demo for this and am addicted. Gonna get the full thing tomorrow.
My demo rocket is such junky piece of shit. only made it 30,000m before it lost control. I need to do the tutorial cause right now, its just "Add on more rockets" to get higher

The trick is staging and weight to thrust ratio. This is key: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Tutorial:Asparagus_StagingRight now that's the best way. Another good launch system is a main rocket with moderate payload (mainsail + fuel + 15-20t payload) with 2 boosters. The boosters feed fuel to the mainsail until they detach, leaving you a full fuel tank, then you burn that until stage 3 which should happen in the 90-100km range. Once that detaches the stage 3 rocket only needs to burn long enough to get you into a stable orbit. Mun shots and stuff take a bit more but that is the basics. I'm still trying to build a space station... |

So I bought the game today, but the download is completely fucked on their page. Tried using a download manager and using different browsers, no luck.
So I had to grab on piratebay instead and I feel pretty pissed tbh.

Demon posession is real and it's not funny, it's the creepiest thing you will ever experience.
I would also like to add I watch fox news everyday all day and will continue to watch it while being proud of that fact. I'm sure you enjoy your communist news network just as much.

I just bought it through STEAM, makes life easier. On the other hand, I don't know of any issues with this even on their forums. Good job Sach =p |

Well it is on the FAQ so kinda has to be a fairly common issue. It costs 17,5 euro on the site, 22 euro on steam. About 25% cheaper in other words, but considering it's just a few euros and the shitty website it would probably have been a better idea to get it on steam :/ |

I'm thinking of an EIRR No Mods Munrace.
First person to land on the Mun and get back wins =p
Sojourner doesn't count, he's actually some sort of engineering major.

A: Real Engineers blow things up or knock them down ;p
B: He did a rocket as a school project, so kinda hax. Though Mun might be too easy. Maybe Duma or such.
Also, buildimg space station so much harder.

It's on like donkeykong! Though I don't have much time to play so I'll prob lose.
But how hard can it be to land on mun? It's not like it's rocket science...oh wait.

I would be keen AmPM, with a slight modification to the 'no mods' rule. Id almost insist on the FAR mod, which fixes aerodynamics (as much as you can anyway...) so you dont get floating wings and such. Also, the rules should state showing a screen shot of every launch or something too, just for fun and verification  |

Shit I'm pretty sure you could offer the guy a cup of coffee and he'd try to kill you with the mug if you forgot sugar.
That's like offering Beer to fuck the fat chick. It will work for a while, but it's not gonna last. Not only that, but there is zero motivation for the Fat chick to loose weight.
Why don't you collect up your love beads and potpourri and find something constructive to do.

i would just like them to fix the issue they have with you being able to attach items at one spot to another.

If it's possible to land on mun and get your kerbs back alive without mods, then I say no mods at all.
