Don't know what Kerbal Space Program is? Watch Markiplier's playthrough!
I'm really sorry for the size of this comic, but I didn't want to lose any of the image's quality.
And please, bear in mind that this's my very first comic, so there'll be errors.
So, I really love Kerbal Space Program. And MLP. So, why not merge the two in a single comic? I gotta say, it really was a pain to make, especially to organize everything and make sure nothing'd be out of place. And it still sucks a bit because it didn't come out the way I've envisioned it.
Since I like to write walls of text, here's my explanation for each panel:
-Applejack: like I stated in another image, she's my favourite, so no way I'd give her the "dumb redneck can't compute" joke. Besides, that joke's getting kind of old. Therefore, I decided to make her the most cautious, going through the training mode before actually start building a rocket herself.
-Twilight: being the egghead of the group, it'd be no surprise to see her quickly getting the hang of KSP and actually do calculations and stuff. Basically, she'd be the Scott Manley of the Mane 6.
-Fluttershy: like with AJ and Twi, it wasn't difficult to set a scene for Flutters. It'd be obvious to make her so concerned with the kerbals' well-being, she'd almost totally disregard the fact that her overzealousness may put her space mission in jeopardy. On the bright side, the number of kerbal casualties would be close to zero.
-Rarity: another no-brainer, except that I nearly made her focus only on beauty than on efficiency.
-Pinkie Pie: it was hard to find a good scene for Pinkie, but in the end I went for the "Pinkie Pie breaking the 4th wall" theme. Also, I could throw in a reference to Markiplier, my favourite YouTuber.
-Rainbow Dash: I'm probably gonna get a lot of backlash for this one, but I really wanted to throe in another Markiplier reference . And actually, that was one of the reasons why I came up with the idea for this comic in the first place. I'm still not sure if I should leave a moderate mature tag because of the penis joke, though.
As always, suggestions and advice and (constructive) criticism are more than welcomed.

My original plan was to make this a 3-parter, but after spending an entire Sunday working on this single comic page, I'm not sure if I should stick to that plan anymore.

I work an entire day on my stuff too. The crashes may be annoying(ok, REALLY annoying) but I still want to keep the series going.

I think you got them all except rainbow dash sorry but I think she is more like a natzus or black star so she would say something more like these
Ahhh I will make them go as fast as I can
Too much math needs more speed
Speed is key

Yeah, I know what you mean. But I was dying to use that quote.
And I felt the comic needed an impacting finish. No sure if I succeeded, but it's done now.
