You've traveled in NEGATIVE TIME!

Apparently. >.>

 

Maybe if I go long enough I'll get to the singularity.

So I got a proper satellite in place with a M700 survey scanner on board.

I somehow lost a solar array in the decoupling process, but otherwise everything works well.

Might be figuring this game out finally. 

 

Next up, send a satellite to Mun.

So with a little boost, I got Jeb to the moon in a jet.

 

No lights, and I ended up on the dark side of the mun.

 

Also, turns out you can destroy the runway.

I'm trying to do a supersonic circumnavigation. It's harder than I expected without leaving atmosphere.  I was so close tonight.

 

Close to the end of flight I lost control. Luckily I was high enough to just let it fall for a while and slowly level out in time to save it and do an emergency landing.

New jet design. I'm getting faster, and I might have the range. This one also takes off a lot easier. I can't quite cruise at mach 4, if I stick there too long the nose overheats. 3.7ish seems to be the limit. There are no aerodynamic heat shields. I wonder if I could put a radiator on the nose some how. 

[SpleenBeGone]

The answer is yes, radiator works. Got to mach 4 without overheating, but now I can't maintain it with the extra drag. I cruise just below it, 3.97 according to google. I guess that's good enough. Let's see if I have enough fuel.
