Patreon stream this weekend!
Added 2021-10-05 17:15:01 +0000 UTCStill trying to figure out when exactly, but I'm thinking it'll be Sunday afternoon central time. BUT... I want your ideas on what challenge I should do in Kerbal Space Program. I reallllly want to just casually play Kerbal again like the old days, so give me something fun to do and I'll do a poll later of my favorite ideas!

Dual Starships to Duna, with colonists. Launch separately. Dock together in LKO. Burn to Duna. Separate before entry. Land close to each other. Party!
2021-10-08 01:51:02 +0000 UTCTweak Blue Origin by launching fully fueled Starship (no booster) straight up. How high would it go? How long in zero g? How fast would it be going when it hit the atmosphere? Could SpaceX test tile survivability without sacrificing a booster? I expect it's been done, but I haven't seen it.

2021-10-06 02:42:37 +0000 UTCLaunch the Webb to L5? Bring asteroid 986 DA into Earth orbit? (https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/q22lqp/university_of_arizona_researchers_say_just_2/)

2021-10-06 02:37:27 +0000 UTCnot sure if it's possible with mods on PC as I've always just played on PlayStation (its horrible I know) but trying to catch a superheavy booster or 'land' it on the catch arms from launch tower, again if that's even something that can be modded into the game.
2021-10-06 01:53:14 +0000 UTCAerobrake a Starship into Low Mars Orbit, and land on Phobos. I've done the math, and can provide prop and cargo figures, if desired.
2021-10-05 21:27:43 +0000 UTCNot sure it's practical, but cracks at design and use would be great. Can't get out of the envelope and cut launch costs further without trying.
2021-10-05 20:27:01 +0000 UTCReplicate some Indian spacecraft tech. India is coming along. Or build your own Russian style rocket. Your an expert in that tech now.
2021-10-05 19:14:05 +0000 UTCBuild a Saturn-Shuttle

2021-10-05 19:05:41 +0000 UTC1) Establish Kerbin orbit fuel depot, that suppies... 2) Jool orbital fuel depot via a cycler. 3) Use to science TFOO Jool system. Probably more work than one stream would support. lol.
2021-10-05 18:39:25 +0000 UTCtry to land starship like the shuttle? or vice versa?

2021-10-05 18:22:44 +0000 UTCThat or I agree to try simulate "Lucy" to the asteroids. Really seems like a fun journey.
2021-10-05 18:18:23 +0000 UTCShip20 orbit and all that implies, but launch any max payload as SpaceX plans to for Starlink deployments. Like a whiplash flip. If that's correct.
2021-10-05 18:10:26 +0000 UTCA 3 part mission to Dres! Orbiter, lander, rover. Or just do Duna with Perceverance / Ingenuity.
2021-10-05 18:08:04 +0000 UTCAlthough dont think Kerbal can do that yet
2021-10-05 18:03:56 +0000 UTCWhat I would love to see: Replace raptors with similar thrust aerospikes. I still believe aeros are the grail for heavy and ship. and in full flow for that matter.

2021-10-05 17:47:25 +0000 UTCIf you want something crazy, try for example building a rocket which will use all of the engines in the game :) But otherwise get Crew Starship with Tanker Starships refuelling to Duna.
2021-10-05 17:45:53 +0000 UTCI have an idea what if you do the #dearMoon project as realistic as possible?
2021-10-05 17:39:40 +0000 UTCAldrin cycler!
2021-10-05 17:34:55 +0000 UTCGet into Mun (or other) orbit using only the space bar (no other key presses allowed).
2021-10-05 17:31:25 +0000 UTCDear Moon, or Artemis, complete with the required on orbit refueling
2021-10-05 17:28:13 +0000 UTCHow about something like the upcoming Lucy mission?
2021-10-05 17:26:51 +0000 UTCMax reusability Mun (Luna) or Duna (Mars) missions?
2021-10-05 17:26:08 +0000 UTCI think you should do a round trip to Moho!
2021-10-05 17:25:34 +0000 UTCKSP idea: SN20 orbital flight and then the dear moon project
2021-10-05 17:23:35 +0000 UTCTour of the Kerbol system using gravity assists, including a fly-by of all planets and most moons?
