I'm orbiting Kerbol, with a similar orbit to Duna, (where I want to get my orbital probe) and trying to use Mechjeb to transfer to Duna, but it's just warping at the second-highest rate. To speed it up, I'm taking manual warp control until I reach the AP/PEs, but to no avail. Anyone know when or where I need to stop warping?

Mechjeb doesn't work for interplanetary.
If you're in an orbit roughly the same, just urn pro or retrograde when you're at the apo or periapsis,and you'll get an encounter.
Shows how much im out of the loop. Found out about the update through facebook. :v:

Also this bug is really cool. I don't even know if it's a bug or not but a second sun exists on Earth for the first 15 seconds of larger rocket takeoffs.

ohhhhhhh you rascal
how can i get mechjeb to escape kerbin?
if i set a new apoapsis how high should it be to escape?

You don't really need to use MJ to escape Kerbin, I shouldn't think; all you really need to do is burn prograde. I don't think using MJ will make it more fuel efficient or anything

About 50 Mm
I'm working on little video to act as a guide for interplanetary transfers, so look out for that.
On a less related note, SpaceX did a short test of their Grasshopper test rocket. It's a vertical takeoff, vertical landing Falcon 9 first stage: [URL="http://twitter.yfrog.com/0wusutopshpepnbpmodbgnosz"]Link[/URL]

Did they get much useful data from that test? I mean it wasn't very long. Were they just testing to see if the hinges went back and forth?
can i get mechjeb to use the fastest warp possible, or is that broken?
I tried Erkle's docking mod last night and oh my God this is awesome. It has me so excited for when this becomes a standard and built in feature. I had finally looked up what the big deal with the Kethane mod was started to think that you could now rendezvous in space and transfer fuel with Kethane and then my brain exploded because of how awesome that would be.
I've heard that Kethane doesn't work right in 0.17 though... I was so excited to try it. I downloaded it anyway and am going to mess around with the parts at least for practice.

yeah looked like it was basically a landing gear test. But hell it got off the ground :D also, only one engine. Wonder if it is a C or a D.
i remember when i got this game it was all build rockets fly to space and try to get orbit
now it's like complicated calculations planets rovers landers atoms nuclears planes bombs addons and shit
it's too complicated for me who still can't get into atmosphere without using up all my fuel
I finally fucking did it.

My little video.
Not the best ever, but I think it should help people out if you need it.
I was planning on making an Eve one, but my recording keeps breaking.
I'm having some trouble with the Prometheus rover. O doesn't seem to fold/unfold the solar panels and other rover parts. Anyone know what could be causing this?

How is the website and patch server still down?
What's the simplest way to do an Orbital rendovous?
Just for fun, I thought I'd make a plane that uses 3 of the big tanks. It isn't going well.

Easter egg on Duna
Thats really creepy.
[QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;37757527]Yeah, I know, it's just not that easy to get into a non-equatorial orbit if you're paying attention.[/QUOTE]
My orbit around Kerbol was just slightly inclined over Duna where it caught me, so I came into Ike's SoI passing over it already, and lowering my periapsis just made it a polar orbit.
Not sure if this one was posted, but this is the third and final easter egg on Duna

I tried to get one clearer than yours.

This is getting scary. Next thing you know we'll get one with the blueprints for a dodecahedron.
