PDP Chapter 10 · 2:43am Jun 22nd, 2014
I just barely finished up the draft. Now I'm going to take an hour or so to play some Kerbal Space Program and then begin the first round of editing. It's not up to snuff yet, especially the later half of the chapter, but come hell or highwater, you guys will have something to read tomorrow afternoon.
In the meantime, I could sure use your help if any of you want to weigh in with your thoughts.
Am I the only one looking at the picture and thinking Twilight and Celestia are "You first, Alfons"ing over the toilet?
I attempted to add a couple of extra eyes to the editing, but Gdrive kept giving me errors every time it tried to bring up your doc.
Where is Jeb, don't tell me you let him die... Jeb is best pony.
2225745 Sadly, yes. It's those damn mun rovers.
2226820 Mun? Really? Not Duna? I am deeply saddened by your loss and the loss of all Kerbal kind... Mine is currently safe aboard my space station sitting fairly close to the fuel storage... because it's the closest place to my emergency escape capsule. I haven't had to use it yet bet there was a close call that almost cost me the big solar panels... thank god for quick thinking on retracting them.
I think Jeb has been on station now for almost 6 months, minus the brief absence to test the escape capsule.
2227067 Pfft. Duna? I can't even manage a probe flyby on the dang thing!
2227346 Neither have I... I'm tempted to make mechjeb do it. Right now it only sees use on regular runs, usually fuel runs to stations... My next major project is construction of a mun space station, followed by a shirt load of research before I attempt to establish a lagrange point station... I don't even know if that's possible in KSP
2227416
I don't think Lagrange points are modeled in the patched conic system that KSP uses.
And you guys are reminding me that I really need to explore out past Minimus. I got all caught up in mastering SSTOs, and once I had that down, the other challenges haven't inspired me as much.
Maybe I should try for Laythe. There is also the new asteroid mission too...
2230206 Nope no Lagrange points for me, which means I'll have to figure out a super high orbital station... I want a transfer point station damnit and I'll get one, even if it has to orbit Duna!
PRACTICALITY BE DAMNED!!!
Anyways, good chapter and I'll be patiently waiting for another
