[MEGATHREAD] What did you do in KSP today? (pic heavy)

[Blaynus]

Hi everyone! In honor of the new update that is coming out soon, I would like to create a nice user-friendly thread with the high hopes of making it a megathread.

Here's the question: What did you do in Kerbal Space Program today?

I formed a plan to get to Duna and successfully executed the first task of my mission: Build the ship. Here it is:

The rendezvous and docking went smoothly. It only took me some 20 minutes to rendezvous and an extra 5-10 minutes to dock. Now all I have to do is wait a while for Duna to align itself properly, then I'll be good to go.

What did you do?

Today, I decided to test out the "Object Thrower"...on a lander can...with a Kerbal in it. I got the can to go ~180m in the air by "throwing" the object at the lander can. I also did other stuff like build an SSTO and test my helicopter. But I couldn't figure out why my FPS was soo low even though my PC specs are:
Device name DESKTOP-PIAFVRS
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.88 GB usable)

Back in the "old" days, I used to run KSP on a 4GB RAM computer; That was terribly slow. Definitely tested your patience. It took ~18 minutes to load the game (with mods)!! Of course it isn't a gaming computer or anything close to that.

Today I stared at the Space plane Hangar because I had partially built a rover and didn't know what to do with it so after about roughly 4 hours of that and watching youtube, I decided to then try a space plane design I had built a while back. It went out of control both launches:KScared:. Then I launched a starter module for a mid-orbit Kerbin Station to act as a transfer point for any crewed launches leaving Kerbins sphere of influence.:KSmiley:

That plane kind of looks like Matt Lowne's ESA "ARIANE V spaceplane" just a little thinner!

On today's episode of how things went in KSP, I built a SSTO, I also managed to recreate the IFT-3 barbecue roll. I also really do seem to have a knack for going so fast at low altitude that plasma builds up around the craft. I also over-ran the runway on landing with the SSTO, didn't have the brakes turned up. The reentry vehicle also has two SRB's that are attached to the external tank/booster but I didn't take any pictures with them on or as I separated them. I may need to have a second post if all images don't show up.

That SSTO design reminds me of the SR-71 Blackbird.

I tried building my first helicopter. It sort of worked.

Don't know if you saw this so I'll just put it here.

It's the way I figured out to do them but they are very easy to control and stable.

Relearnt optimal staging and coupling of boosters to get closer to an ideal gravity turn.
Pretty sure my initial orbital flights are so sub-optimal.

I launched a Soyuz built with Piolet's tutorial (amazing dude btw) and i uh...
I don't know if it was a mod but Bob and Bill became pilots too.

Help i think Jeb's spirit came back from the Mun and possesed them.

It depends on whether or not you actually screenshotted (like cmd/shift/f4 for me) or if you took a steam screenshot (f12)

If you took a steam screenshot, you can upload it in your content menu, and to post it in a discussion group you can simply post the screenshot's steam link (top left corner)

If you took an actual screenshot, I think you can upload it as an artwork, but I can't say for sure since I've never done it before

i hope this helps! ^^
