Yes, that’s another design inspired by finding an anime-related Kerbal name. (So, the Squad guys DID watch what was one of the most popular anime series of their country back when they were kids. Shocking).

Anyway, here it is, the legendarily BIG swing seen on the OP of the popular anime series Heidi, of which I won’t provide a Wikipedia link because I don’t want to insult you.

Crater Lake launch site HIGHLY recomended.

So is pimping up the site by placing around it a few of Juggernoob’s awesome alpine houses: https://kerbalx.com/Juggernoob/Fachwerkhaus-Style-1, https://kerbalx.com/Juggernoob/Fachwerkhaus-Style-2 https://kerbalx.com/Juggernoob/Fachwerkhaus-Style-3

A Kerbal girl who wants to know.
What are this sounds I hear? Why am I going in the cloud? Why the air smells like this? What does the wind says in its song? Why did it rain, why did it snow? Why is everything white? Why is the moon leaving now? Why did i go up to here? Why am I so happy?
Obviously, she became a scientist.

(yes, that was the translated lyrics from Heidi’s OP.)

The size and location of Heidi’s swing has always raised… questions. Space-related questions, even.

In our world, some sharp minds made the relevant calculations, arriving to a swing length of 20 meters - which, put against the aparent height of the swing seat over the ground, means a swing of some 100-150 meters.
Sadly, KerbalX doesn’t allow me to paste the calculations with proper formating, so have a link to the translated thread instead:

For the rest of the tale, just read the Imgur album’s captions. I don’t feel like pasting the whole album here…
