Thinking about more game streaming. · 4:35am Sep 9th, 2019
Specifically, tomorrow evening (Monday 9-9), beginning 7 PM, at which point I believe I will fly a CSP mission which will get at most a paragraph in the next chapter, just to finish the temperature scans that didn't happen in Mission 22. That will run from building a rocket from scratch to as many "simulated" launches as necessary (read: revert to VAB if the design proves bad) to landing a rocket-rover on Minmus.
RedneckGaijin on Twitch.tv, if you're interested.
But I'm also thinking of making it a weekly thing, and a non-CSP thing. KSP streaming is sort of old-school, of course, but I'm thinking of adding a handicap. I call it the Rule of 7.
Here's the deal. In KSP Career Mode, you start out with a Mission Control that can have up to two mission contracts at one time. The first upgrade lets you have up to seven contracts at a time, and the second upgrade lets you have unlimited contracts.
So I propose: at every launch, I must have as close to 7 contracts active as possible. And each launch vehicle must be equipped, in theory, to fulfill all of them on a single launch. If I miss a contract, it stays on for the next launch until I clear it.
Because I enjoy building and flying ridiculous contraptions of rockets and challenging myself for multiple missions, no matter how abominable the designs.
Your reactions?
7pm at what time zone? so i can play and see more then the last round of a different game
First off, I think you mean 9-9, and 9-8 is Sunday.
And that does sound like fun, crazy mission can be a great trip in KSP. You're running in an older version if I remember right, so no delta-v calculations in the VAB.
I'll be at work, sadly. But i'll probably watch the replay later! I would love a weekly stream as well!

First Awesome name!
Second, For Kris it would be 7pm CST, For those on the Pacific Coasts (PST) it would be 5pm, for those on he East Coast (EST) it would be 8pm.
I'll probably be around from time to time. Nice streamming last time with the weird rover, now I have to design one or two myself.
5119072 If by "weird" you mean "catastrophically bad and only succeeded in its mission through overengineering, two quicksave resets, and a large slice of dumb luck," then yep, sure was weird all right.

And the extra boost, don't forget that... If "moar boost" doesn't work it's because you are not using "moar boost" enough. That thing had enough delta V to achieve many great things.
