I got my first Kerbal (good old Jebediah Kerman) to the Mun, with one small hiccup...



Yeah, that wreckage in the background was his ride home...
Still, getting closer :)

Congratulations, Faille. :) Next to Minmus. If that craft there had any fuel left at all it could get to Minmus too, you only need 50m/s more delta V or so to get there and it requires less to take off and get home.

Yes, congrats on making it. Next time, though, I suggest giving an LV-909 a go for the lander stage, rather than an LV-T30. It's smaller, so you can just slap the legs on without any fuss. Less thrust, but I've gotten a 2-man lander down with one with more than half a tank to spare.

Jeb has temporarily halted his attempts to right the lander can, to make some Mun Angels...

This guy is great. He's simulating corporate warfare in the Jool system.

So I re-designated my first station "Unknown Target" for the test phase of the new KHI Kazi class droid fighters... huge success. This is all that remains of "Unknown Target"...

Weapon development continues... This is a weapon test of the new Kerbelle Heavy Industries "Havok" missile system. Unfortunatly, it's hard to get the screenshot at exactly the right time, but meh...

Prelaunch, on the test frame


Firing a single salvo of 4 missiles


And an "80% Alpha strike" (as 1 of the 5 salvo's was already launched)

If you have not watched a single KSP video, watch this one. It's not as great without knowing the storyline and loving the characters/ships, but this is truly epic.

+ infinity to watching that whole series. It is truly brilliant.

So having had a chance to goof off in .21, I have to say it's most definitely an improvement. About the only thing that didn't thrill me completely is the new SAS. It's pretty squirrelly. In some ways it's better, but in some ways it's not.
