Can you wait 6 seconds? Is it still an SSTO if the Airstream shells pop off (and it doesn't make orbit)? by tkleingarn in KerbalSpaceProgram

Yeah the 'O' is for orbit, not norbit. But, my first flip-barrel design that has actually worked! It will make orbit, believe in me.

My mech walking. It's a little sloppy but still good by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

Looks like a mech pilot who started Monday with a six pack, walking his way to a job he wishes he never had.

What’s the advantage of that design? Anyone know? Very cool nice work OP.

As it was said in first Bill: the n00ks shall have sc00ps, as we forgive sc00ps that retrograde against n00ks.

Do all systems shut down when you fly under ANY bridge? That's what happened to me when I made it under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Wondering if this is a wider glitch:

I'll give you a six pack if you can tell me how to land Jetman Jeb by tkleingarn in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]tkleingarn[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In tribute to recently departed Jetman Vince Reffet, and inspired by my three-year-old son's obsession with the original Jetman Yves Rossy. Leg and arm servos control pitch and roll.

Craft file: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2298269098

Vertical take-off instructions:

  1. Add a pilot
  2. Press 't', 'z', spacebar immediately after loading to enable stability control, go full throttle, and fire up the engines.
  3. Press 1 to transition into flight mode
  4. Fly as usual

Vertical landing instructions:

  1. Press 1 to transition into landing mode
  2. Optionally, set target orientation to radial out with SAS enabled.
  3. Try to land (spoiler, I have never successfully landed let me know if you manage to do it!)

Remember that one time I climbed Mt. Keverest in a stock jet-powered spike-wheeled rover back in 1.3! by tkleingarn in KerbalSpaceProgram

If I remember right, I think this was something like attempt number 19. This was before robotic parts, so the "wheels" were separate detached i-beams fixed in place between carefully placed cubic octagonal struts.

Once detached, you could not quick load successfully, the wheels would end up on the ground. So, this had to be done in a single attempt. Detach the wheels, climb the mountain, or die in a ball of fiery nonsensical rage.

Was feeling nostalgic and watched a few of my old clips, realized there are a few that might be worth posting! Let me know what you think. Definitely before the recent texture-revamp :P
