Stupid, Crazy, or Just wierd things you've done with Orbiter

[Kaito]

Here's a thread dedicated to all the stupid, crazy, or just weird things that you have done in Orbiter.
Here are a couple of mine:

Tried to de-orbit a DGIV...while docked to another one.
Used the Scenario Editor to plunge the ISS into Earth (made one hell of a fireball too)
Docked two DGIV's, wanted to transfer crew...then forgot to close the airlock, then undocked.

I went to about Warp 5 to about 50000000000000 AU. Not kidding either.

Uh.... AU isn't the largest type. You can get up to at least MPc I believe. (megaparsec)

 

[eveningsky339]

Went straight up in a Saturn V to see if I could escape Earth's SOI before crashing back down. (It didn't work).

 

[Jarvitä]

Entered a circular orbit 70 metres above the surface of the moon with the LEM ascent stage.

Crashed into the ISS (or rather, passes through it) from a retrograde LEO, at 15km/s relative velocity.

Sent DGIV and XR crews out for EVAs, after the de-orbit burn was finished, to reduce the ship mass.

Got rid of excess lungs after miscalculating the oxygen reserves.

Used the Saturn V as a ballistic missile and tried to precisely target different cities.

Sorry, it was MPc Lol, not Au.

I once removed Earths Atmosphere and Orbited 10m above Ground.

 

[silent_protagonist]

I've attempted to land on the sun before. There is a landable surface, but touching it results in an instant warp bug. (Star Trek IV, anyone?)

 

[willy88]

One time I removed Earth's gravity.

No further explanation needed.

 

[Woo482]

I orbited the moon at about 6 meters above the surface

 

[Missioncmdr]

Orbiting about 10 meters above the Moon in a DGIV and then ejecting. Wild ride!

 

[willy88]

One time I also gave Luna an atmosphere...

 

[Kaito]

hehe...this was nearly impossible to do...orbited the moon with the DGIV, then lowered my PeA to 10m. Nice view...until i bumped my joystick and hit the ground.

 

[Quick_Nick]

Sorry, it was MPc Lol, not Au.

If I said there was something larger than MPc, would you say it was that too? :lol:

Orbiting about 10 meters above the Moon in a DGIV and then ejecting. Wild ride!

I've never thought about ejecting! I've got to do that right away! :lol:

Craziest thing I've recently done was ride on the tip of a Soviet ICBM Warhead with Sputnik's MOOSE as a 2001 Astronaut to my state. After burnout I released myself from the warhead and oriented my chairs back so the inflatable heatshield bag took the brunt of entry and I parachuted safely to the surface near my town where the warhead impacted! That was a crazy daredevil stunt. Would have been nuked in midair if was real life though.

I've buzzed the moon at 2m altitude at almost 16km/s. I then did exactly the same thing (from a saved scenario), but with the landing gear down - the vessel crashed the second time.

 

[Quick_Nick]

I just flew a DGIV over the surface of the moon. My orbit was slightly suborbital so I was going to hit the ground, but with very low vertical velocity. I gave one guy a turbopack on an EVA just so I could save one guy for sure. When I got really low, I ejected the rest of the crew. I guess the captain got ejected straight into the ground and died. As the DGIV got lower and lower, it's gear finally touched the ground and broke off. Then the rest of the DGIV slowly got closer and closer to the ground and then suddenly starts tumbling all around! It hit just light enough to not get destroyed, but it was tumbling around and had broken components. The crew somehow survived in the end. I guess they lightly landed on the moon and just skid across the surface, on their feet and at orbital velocity, to a halt.

Oh and before all of this I was going to do a flight from the moon to orbit. As I was lifting off from the moon's surface, my hover engine and landing gear broke and I couldn't fly straight. I decided to eject to save the crew... forgetting that a parachute doesn't do any good on the moon. :lol:

 

[Pilot7893]

I orbited the moon at about 6 meters above the surface

4 feet

 

[AstroCam]

Trying to Mount a DGIV on Kulchs Deltacannon. Much ****s-and-giggles also resulting form Lobbing ShuttlePBs in the same fashion. (Deltacannon instantkills your crew in DGIV BTW)

 

[astrosammy]

I launched a R-7 ([ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2844"]Project R-7[/ame]) directly to my home. The guidance was perfect, the warhead impactet only 1km away.
