KSP or Kerbal space program is a space game made by squad.

I thought i would make a thread of your current mission.

I sent up in my reuseable spaceplane an Ion probe.

I did 3 gravity assists with the moon and minimus, and i plan on going to gilly.

Currently im burning time because orbital insertion takes ages.

Probe;

orbit;


Post your current mission!

made this, it's weird to fly but it works. I have a different vtol craft with rotating engines and some tiny rear facing jet engines that's a bit easier.

I've been trying to SSTO to the mun, land like a normal plane, then take off and go back to earth. So far I've orbited the mun. Getting close, but it's seeming extremely difficult without a refuel once in orbit. I'm using FAR so there's no crazy lift going on in the upper atmosphere. It's difficultt o get enough dV into orbit to do this.

Yay for beta.

Yay for new mk3 parts.

I saw the crew cabin for mk3, so naturally i made a big ass 747

It flys like... a 747, kinda hard to pull up without the engines on, but its pretty chill.
