S.T.U.B.B.L.E

Having ringed Minmus of all its science we returned to the R&D centre to see what we stole from other space centres unlock more parts.

After scratching out our competitors' logos of the new parts spending our science points we built two things: the first will be mentioned at a later date but the second, however, was a small satellite called "the S.T.U.B.B.L.E space telescope" which uses an infrared telescope to generate science and also a magnetometer because it looks cool.

S.T.U.B.B.L.E asked us to capture its good side, ain't she sweet...

The Minmus Might

After our start up with KSP, we started with our first craft series; The Minmus Might. The first version was based on the Minmus ship Scott Manley used in his "complete career in 2 missions". Ever since I watched that playthrough, It has become my favourite way of progressing through the game.

Minmus Might 1, So experimental we needed somebody stupid enough to do it,

Ludming was that somebody...

The Mark 1 was perhaps the most fiddly craft I have made in a long time. Its worst features was the lack of struts (was not unlocked yet) and lack of radial decouplers.

On his journeys around Minmus, Ludming visited a plethora of biomes, however his idiocity got the better of him and broke his engine on the Lesser flats. Jeb, considering it to be his duty to rescue Ludming, flew the improved Minmus Might (The Minmus Might 2) to Minmus. The Mark 2 was improved in the sense it was more stable and used liquid engines. Jeb successfully landed at Minmus and handed over the keys to Ludming. When he returned to Kerbin, he brought the well awaited science needed to create The Minmus Might 3!

The Minmus Might 3 is the pinical of minmus travel, boasting an entire Mk1 lander can and 3 brand new Mystery goo canisters. Now Jeb can scoot around Minmus and collect all the rest of the biomes on Minmus in absolute luxury.

New Recruits!

Today, we are proud to announce our first new recruits to our space program! These bold men will be bringing kerbal-kind to the edge of space and beyond and, if we meet someone to strap a few extra solid fuel boosters to our ship, beyond! Jebediah Kerman, our new commander, said today "we hope to show the universe what we're made of, and this time it won't be by hurling ourselves towards the ground, no, this time we will be metaphorically showing everyone what we're are made of".

Commander Jebediah will be joined by Squad Leader Bill Kerman and Chief Navigator Bob Kerman.

Their first missions all though small (seriously, they just orbited the planet -Cheapscate7) will no doubt bring us further to the stars and no doubt get us a bit of sciene on the way.
