You probably see the same thing when you watch "Finding Bigfoot". Their only mission is to FIND you, and they found you. It didn't say anything about CAPTURING you!
My first mun pod is still on the mun, because there isn't enough fuel to get back. My mun rescue pod is also still on the mun, because there isn't enough fuel to get back.
Fun tip: Don't burn when you reach the node. Rather, take your estimated burn time, cut that in half, and then burn when the node is that amount of seconds away. This is because you want to keep the thrust even on both sides of the maneuver node instead of being really one-sided. Do this tip, and you'll get trajectories more consistent with your maneuver nodes.
And with long burns, split them up, and if you need to burn long and it will use most of your fuel, start slightly after half to compensate for increasing TWR. Warranty void when switching engines mid-burn. Warranty also void when in space.
Ah, I remember the first time I landed on the mun. He's still up there by the way. My technology has advanced to the point where if I didn't bother saving fuel, I could recover him inside of a few days, but it doesn't feel worth it kenny knew what he was getting into... my psychologist says I'm beyond his help.
Wait, wait, wait.... "Burn towards the Mun, to break the orbit"? That's.... not how you do it. That just creates an oblong orbit, assuming you've established an orbit prior to this.
I almost started crying because I read "To The Moon." Then I realized it said "To The Mün" and it was also KSP, not an emotional 8 bit RPG that tEARS YOUR HEART AND SOUL OUT. Anyways, I noticed you desaturate your videos; what's the reasoning behind that? Also, is Jon's suit handmade or store bought?
ClaesTurtle I wish I could give an artistic reason for my color grading choices, but the truth is that I'm colorblind and fundamentally don't know what I'm doing.
I remember my first mün landing. Smashed into the surface at 2 kilometers per second. My first SUCCESSFUL landing ended with the bottom half of the rocket gone, and the rest tipped over sideways. But we did it!
Never managed to get a return from Mun. Almost did, once. Ended up in orbit around Kerbin, which was even worse. I've got no idea how to meet up with something orbiting. Mun is already hard enough
Tastefully done. Nothing quite like a staging mishap during a mission. and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH my ears. Bill *please* try and scream more silent next time! (seriously that was cool)
Yeah um, you see... they kidnap the Kerbals late at night and then build the ship around them so that they can't escape the nightmare of launching... >.>
Umlaut Quite hilarious mms yes verily custard creams also did I hear police sirens at one point? Is your command centre being sieged by the actually short arm of the law?
1. why don't you use sas and point radial out then fly of the. mün is that easy 2. why you sent bill kerman to the mun he is an enginer sent jeb instead he is a pilot
oh? you can travel to the Mun easy peasy? then I bet you can get to the planet made of diamonds then! trust me, a piece of cake once you get there, but it's gonna be impossible to get to.
