"Payload Integration Complex has a business module. Assign kerbals to it and it farms funds and pays for itself in 3 years with 1 kerbal or 1 year with max kerbals." - well, somebody's got to produce all those flags stuck in every moon and crater

"Continuing with the engines revamp, take a look at the Rockomax Conglomerate RE-15 "Skipper". Are you excited about it?" - the yellow stripes are gone :/ https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/190877-ksp-loading-preview-rockomax-conglomerate-re-15-skipper/
<packbart>
well, ok, they probably didn't belong there in the first place. I liked them, anyway

"The outpost must be on motorized wheels." Does it suffice to have any wheel somewhere, or do the wheels need to lift everything else off the surface?
<Ezko>
yes
<darsie>
The latter, it seems.
<darsie>
And some symmetry is required, it seems.
FLHerne has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]
<darsie>
Or not. Seems a bug didn't let three wheels count. It now works with three wheels.
<packbart>
Interesting. I never got a contract with that requirement, yet
<Althego>
you get duna missions even before going there
<hatrix>
i don't :o
<darsie>
If there's non, wait till the contracts expire, like 7 days.
<Althego>
probably with low probability
<Althego>
i treat those as a form of loan, i get a lot of money for doing nothing
<hatrix>
I went there with my own funds because I needed science
<darsie>
If there's none, wait till the contracts expire, like 7 days.
<darsie>
then check again. Repeat.
<darsie>
Doing the Kerbin/Mun/Minmus missions gets you Duna missions, too.
<hatrix>
maybe I just didn't do the right one
<hatrix>
I've been several times to Minmus and the Mun with tourists
<hatrix>
several stations in orbit too
<darsie>
Mun and Minmus?
<hatrix>
yes
<darsie>
If there's none, wait till the contracts expire, like 7 days. then check again. Repeat.
<hatrix>
will do will do :)
<darsie>
How often did you try that?
<hatrix>
never
<darsie>
Try 5-10 times
<hatrix>
I'll try this evening when I get home
<darsie>
no, hit max time warp and enter mission control after 7 days
<darsie>
ahh, evening. nm.
<hatrix>
:D
<darsie>
I read every evening.
<darsie>
I can't get a minimal Duna surface station contract. Always something extra like a research lab, fuel or pilots.
<hatrix>
I hate those with pilots
<hatrix>
I always need to plan another mission to get them back
<darsie>
You can leave them there.
<darsie>
I left my Minmus research lab scientists there.
<hatrix>
I just have the original four
<hatrix>
+ 2 I rescued from space
Deddly has quit [Ping timeout: 204 seconds]
<darsie>
You can hire or rescue more.
<darsie>
Wanna know an easy way to rescue Kerbals from LKO?
<hatrix>
go ahead
<hatrix>
I usually rendezvous with an unmaned pod with parachutes
<darsie>
I have a wake up satellite in orbit. Just an Oscar B with an ant etc. close flyby with the Kerbal, switch over, EVA, jetpack to ~70.5 circular orbit, 3.1 EVA fuel burn to deorbit, land with parachute, or skydive horizontally to a low altitude, ideally sea where terminal velocity is low and impact survivable.
<hatrix>
kerbals can actually survive reentry?
<darsie>
yes
<darsie>
Try my recipe.
<packbart>
turn them sideways during reentry
<darsie>
no
<packbart>
in my tests, they overheated otherwise
<darsie>
Burn retrograde and leave them until the heat is over.
<darsie>
3.1 EVA fuel
<hatrix>
I think I'll stick with a rocket though, I prefer to be kinda realistic
<darsie>
Who says it's unrealistic? This is not Earth.3

* darsie
sends Valentina and Jerbin on a one way mission to Duna surface.
<UmbralRaptop>
Will they survive impact?
<darsie>
Probably. Initially I wanted to use one or two cubes as crumpling zone, but I would have to dump the tank and engine first and thought ... why not use the engine? So my great idea turned into a conventional mission.
<JVFoxy>
a while back I came across a little program that helped figure out day, year cycles, planet/sun masses. Used it to figure out a fictional planet for something i was writing up on.
<JVFoxy>
like to really do something else with it. Although, how difficult is it to replace the solar system in KSP with a custom?
