raptop: I thought MJ's classic ascent is just similar to the KSP tutorial. Go straight up until speed reaches x m/s, then start the turn (in MJ, that's configured with a curve parameter and end altitude where it flies horizontal)
<ScholarRaptor>
Is it just me, or did people suddenly forget that NASA does stuff other than manned spaceflight?
<packbart>
that doesn't happen suddenly, it's a gradual process
<ScholarRaptor>
It reminds me of a passage from Analects: "To study and not think is a waste of time. To think and not study is dangerous."

One would think the proliferation of internet access would do away with the willingness to make ignorant statements, but it's kind of off-putting that we're nearly a quarter of a way into the 21st Century and people be all like, "NASA doesn't do anything anymore!"
<ScholarRaptor>
My sibling in space, NASA is literally going to put a helicopter on a moon where it rains methane.
<ScholarRaptor>
"But they're always over-budget!"
<ScholarRaptor>
My pal in R&D, *no one* is ever on budget and on time when it concerns R&D intensive projects.

You discover an ancient magical horn that creates any object you can name. Strapped to the back of your rocket it works ok as a reactionless drive. Bill throws up on your shoes (again).

You call the copse to report an orchard burglary. There have been hours worth of videos on how to prevent crash if you just made slight changes on kerbaltube. HOURS.

You participate in a parkour tournament using your rocket. Your aquatic capsule recovery observer is renamed to a floating point unit.

!mission
<LunchBot>
You attempt to delete kmath database. You run out of rations and start eating landing legs.
<raptop>
On a note semi-related to the mission, writing your own ascents is fun
<raptop>
Also, I messed up and thought I had seen an extra paren that was why I was getting nonsensical ascent profiles
<Mat2ch>
it's much more fun launching a rocket and then realizing you forgot something. And then asking yourself: Do I relaunch or send another mission to add it?
<Mat2ch>
and when you send that other mission you go for a really low orbit and let MechJeb do manouvers, but you forget to circularize after launch and go directly for a Hohmann transfer and end up back in the atmosphere
<Mat2ch>
but being so tired you first don't realize what's happening and then your craft flips around and it's all weird and not going according to the plan
