You invent badger staging. suclearnub explodes, emitting all kinds of deadly ICBMs.

the B in ICBM stands for badger.

You ignore all the warning about physics warp. You set a new record for minimising delta-v use.

so, by some vague estimations intercepting this "in orbit of the sun" object if i were to start right now, it takes about 5000dv and 3 years
05:13
<
Eddi|zuHause >
that's starting from LKO
05:17

but i have no idea if my antennas are good enough for that kind of distances

probably was the wrong time to start this flight, with a maneuver planned in 40 minutes

current ETA 45 minutes

i'll try a stopover landing

the dance on the runway could mean that your landing gear is positioned wrong
08:18
<
Eddi|zuHause >
i tried redoing it, didn't help
08:19
<
Eddi|zuHause >
anyway, landed in the middle of nowhere...
08:19
<
Eddi|zuHause >
autopilot seems to help with that
08:20

particularly, keeping the vertical speed at acceptable levels

seems like a slanted tank adapter

oh now it did
09:00

now trying to land this
09:01
<
Mat2ch >
how did that propellor get into orbit?
09:01
<
darsie >
Eddi|zuHause: Wow, you're collecting two items with one rocket? :)
09:07
<
Eddi|zuHause >
yes, i did that
09:08
<
Eddi|zuHause >
maneuvering gets a bit tricky with the first item already grabbed... but they had similar orbits
09:10
<
Eddi|zuHause >
after grabbing the first item, you only need to do very small maneuvers, if you're willing to wait a bit...
09:27
<
Eddi|zuHause >
weird, one of the chutes didn't fire?

09:46

the russian word "robota" and the german word "arbeit" both come from the same indogermanic root meaning "slave"

Can you post a picture of it from the downside?
11:29
<
Mat2ch >
try moving the front gear a bit more forward and the main gear inside.
11:29
<
Eddi|zuHause >
it's a small gear in the front and a middle gear on each wing, i've done that many times
11:29
<
Mat2ch >
when they are so far outside you can get oscilations
11:30
<
Eddi|zuHause >
moving the front gear further front is tricky, because that nose is supposed to open
11:49
<
Eddi|zuHause >
at least landing somewhat works

The most important thing is to move the rear landing gear close together
12:38

i've had bad experience with it closer together as well
