Failed Launches - What Does It Take To Get The Eve Lander To Eve?
The rockets are so big the game runs at 1FPS, I can get a more playable game by slowing the game down using 'Cheat Engine' which gives the graphics thread more time to render the frames, but still I keep getting dashed by equipment failures. But they are spectacular failures!

B9 Aerospace has always been a popular mod in my games, the developer Bac9 was even a squad employee for a time. Unfortunately he had some real life issues that suspended mod development and for the last 9 months or so fans have kept the B9 mod working through several updates to KSP. But Now a new team has come together and have released an experimental update with many new parts, designed to let you build truly massive space vehicles.
There are still bugs, and you'll almost certainly need a texture compression mod - but you can download and test the mod here:

Last weekend I was also out chasing the Space Station, trying to stand in the right place so that we can get pictures of this large object making a shadow against the surface of the sun. But this time I wanted to take advantage of the strict time and space restrictions to try and measure the altitude of the space station and it's speed.
After all there are some 'skeptical' individuals who don't trust what NASA tells them, and I'm prepared to test their ideas out of respect for their beliefs. /s

Most people look for a nice flat area to land their planes, sometimes it's fun to try doing the opposite.
