My first pass at the layout of my #kerbal space program controller!

Not completely happy with it, but a good place to start. Gotta print all the keycaps with red highlights on a black background. I want to replace the knob on the throttle slider, it's a yucky yellow. I'm not looking forward to the million wires this is going to take to hook up.

Does anyone have any suggestions for changes to my #Kerbal Space Program control panel before I hit "go" on the laser cutter?

The grid in the top left are direction selectors. I'm using knockoff cherry blue keyswitches for all the buttons. The dock/maneuver switch is 3-position. The 3-axis joysticks have a button on top for controlling trim.

🚀 Kerbal Space Program is back in the spotlight, Steam logged a new concurrent peak of almost 12 thousand players, the highest in over a decade.

All thanks to Artemis II, NASA's first crewed Moon flight in 54 years: SteamDB, search trends and forums show players relaunching KSP, inspired by real space achievements. The game launched in 2015 and has over 133 thousand reviews; collaborations with ESA and nods to SpaceX sharpen the authe...

🚀 Kerbal Space Program is back in fashion thanks to the Artemis II launch.

The mission's vibe is weirdly awesome: intentionally barely miss the Moon, do a close flyby and head home. That borderline‑miss profile has fans firing up KSP to recreate daring flybys, tweak burns and obsess over perfect trajectories. HYPE

 Enthusiast ‘lands’ on the Moon using Hardware from the 1980s — ZX Spectrum Home Computer with 3.5 MHz CPU and 48KB of Memory Power Kerbal Space Flight.

Mere weeks after successfully using a ZX Spectrum to fly a simulated spacecraft, space enthusiast and YouTuber [Scott Manley] have successfully “landed” on the moon using the home computer from the 1980s. Of course, [Scott] didn’t have an actual lunar lander with him, so he used the 2015 spaceflight simulator Kerbal Space Program, using a ZX Spectrum to control the spacecraft.

⁉️For those who are unfamiliar with the Spectrum, it’s a home computer built by UK company Sinclair Research, released in 1982.⁉️

A less realistic, but maximally fun SSTO.

These tilt-engines are way more powerful and efficient than what I usually use in KSP, to the point where they probably are unrealistic af. That’s why I didn’t even bother with the TWR or dV this time. But having one part that can do a tilt engine is SO nice. If you want it to be a bit more realistic, I guess you can lower the thrust limiter. 

Its very power hungry, but it comes with an internal nuclear reactor which has a heatsink slapped on to it. This way it can run for quite a long time before running out of juice. Some capacitors also help extending that time. The cargo bay doors can also act as radiators if opened.

The COM is very carefully balanced so this thing is stable both in horizontal and vertical flight, the RCS is centred and the docking port aligns with it reasonably well. (you can dock it to the front of a mothership and it won’t make it spin out of control. If you want to use the engines to propel the other ship though, you might spin)

More KSP stuff. A heavy lifter SSTO that is designed to deliver large payloads into orbit. In theory it is fully IVA traversable, but some of the OPT parts don’t support freeIVA.
