Kerbal Space Program? Anyone?

Jimor:
I did the whole video during a Twitch live stream (I've highlighted it so if anybody is curious about specific processes you can click around the video), start to finish was just under 7 hours. The crazy rocket montage was probably about 3 hours of that. It was actually kind of hard to get things to break, so the solution in most cases was to clip in extra tanks attached to decouplers.  :mrgreen: The exception was the spinning rocket, it fell apart by itself WONderfully. :)

dexeron:
That video was great!

I just spent two hours trying and failing to get into orbit, and then KSP crashed in the VAB, erasing whatever I had just failed to accomplish.

I think I'm done with KSP.

cesium133:
Turns out the solution to the crashing is to run the 64-bit version (I had my start menu shortcut set to the 32-bit version). I'm currently playing a game in Science mode with atmospheric heating set to 30% (don't want to bother with contracts, and I'd prefer my spacecraft go exploring rather than blowing up in the atmosphere...).

edit -- spoke too soon about the crashing shit. There goes my Minmus mission.  :x

BenRG:
Well, I tried it again and was a lot more successful. The trick is not to panic when turning using the reaction wheels (something that I fully admit to being bad at); damn, the inerta when your wheels are far off the centre of mass is something else! I've also learned that you should probably start the LV-T45 at about 1/3 throttle to avoid spin-outs during air lights. Similarly, wait until you're over about 10k before executing any gravity turns during launch.

Now, if only I can figure out why my LV has this pesky roll... Maybe I should have RCS and SAS enabled during ascent?

I'm sure it will take me some time to get to a reasonable degree of aptitude with the controls but I feel more confident. I'm definitely buying the full version; I've also got my eye on some mods, specifically the expanded science that includes the OCTOKORE science sensor system and the life support/recycling pods.
