Let's play Kerbal Space Program - part 01 "I have to start somewhere"
34Hello and welcome to Kerbal Space Agency - I have heard you voting and asking me over and over to play Kerbal Space Program. And it is finally in a stage where I don't get stuff for free, where science needs to be done and where design matters. So here I am, bringing you the KSP you always wanted me to play.
In this first part I go over the rules that will be applied to this let's play (yes, I know - too much talking and too little playing) and then I get a bit over the interface, mods, technology, and contracts. Yes, it's baby steps but it has to be done. After which I am finally ready to launch (and nearly kill) my first Kerbal. Off to a great start!
Mission profile of Test Craft Mk. I - To test the performance of the used engine and fuel storage in flight and, if possible, to reach the altitude of over 5000 meters.
