Apollo 12 (Description of the real mission) Apollo 12 was the sixth manned mission in the Apollo program and the second manned Mun landing. It also was the first mission to install a Surface Experiment Package (SEP) on the surface, including a magnetometer, a interior heat probe, a passive seismic experiment and a laser reflector used to measure the exact distance between the Mun and Kerbin. Basic info: Launch vehicle: Saturn V Type: Munar landing Crew: Melney Kerman (Commander/LM Pilot, first spaceflight), Ludbree Kerman (Flight Engineer, first spaceflight), Geofcal Kerman (CSM Pilot, first spaceflight) Launch date: November 14, 1969 Duration: Mission: 6.39 Kerbin days ; Munar surface stay: 5 hours, 50 minutes Landing date: November 20, 1969 Pictures: Launch of Apollo 12 at evening.

Apollo 11 (Description of the real mission) Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two Kerbals to walk the surface of another celesial body, Jebediah and Bill Kerman, on the Mun's surface, where they remained for 3½ hours before taking off again. Basic info: Launch vehicle: Saturn V Type: Munar landing Crew: Jebediah Kerman (Commander/LM Pilot, first spaceflight), Bill Kerman (Flight Engineer, first spaceflight), Theoler Kerman (CSM Pilot, first spaceflight) Launch date: July 16, 1969 Duration: Mission: 4.64 Kerbin days ; Munar surface stay: 3½ hours Landing date: July 21, 1969 Pictures: The Saturn V with Apollo 11 before launch.

Apollo 9 (Description of the real mission) Apollo 9 was a mission to test the CSM+LM docking and rendezvous procedure that would be used in Munar landings in Low Kerbin orbit. Basic info: Launch vehicle: Saturn V Type: LKO test of CSM and LM Crew: Samsel Kerman (Commander/LM Pilot, first spaceflight), Harmon Kerman (Flight Engineer, first spaceflight), Buremy Kerman (CSM Pilot, first spaceflight) Launch date: March 3, 1969 Duration: 5.98 Kerbin days Landing date: March 9, 1969 Pictures: Launch of the Saturn V. The CSM and the LM after separating from the S-IVB. The LM in LKO. A picture of Kerbin, taken inside of the LM. The LM's ascent stage, docked to the CSM after completing it's seperate mission. Apollo 10 (Description of the real mission) Apollo 10 was a mission to test the CSM+LM docking and rendezvous procedure that had been previously tested on Apollo 9, but this time in a low Munar orbit, essentially being a Mun mission just short of a landing. Basic info: Launch vehicle: Saturn V Type: Munar orbit test of CSM and LM Crew: Billy Kerman (Commander/LM Pilot, first spaceflight), Rodous Kerman (Flight Engineer, first spaceflight), Dooddon Kerman (CSM Pilot, first spaceflight) Launch date: May 18, 1969 Duration: 5.06 Kerbin days Landing date: May 23, 1969 Pictures: Apollo 10, in-flight shortly after liftoff.

So this is why Apollo 18 was kept secret from the public...it wasn't only alive moon rocks, but actually sentinent beings. It all makes sense now... Conspiracies aside, this is some pretty dank good editing

Apollo 8 (Description of the real mission) Apollo 8 was the first ever manned flight to the Mun, orbiting it many times before successfully returning. It also was the first manned flight of the Saturn V rocket. Basic info: Launch vehicle: Saturn V Type: Munar orbit mission Crew: Rocan Kerman (Commander/CSM Pilot, first spaceflight), Haldos Kerman (Flight Engineer, first spaceflight), Bartgel Kerman (Scientist, first spaceflight) Launch date: December 21, 1968 Duration: 4.54 Kerbin days Landing date: December 25, 1968 Pictures: Launch of Apollo 8 from the Kerbal Space Center.

Apollo 7 (Description of the real mission) Apollo 7 would be the first manned Apollo mission, due to Apollo 1 ending in a tragic accident several weeks before launch. It was a simple Kerbin orbit mission to test the spacecraft's performance in preparation for more ambitious missions. Basic info: Launch vehicle: Saturn IB Type: Low Kerbin orbit mission Crew: Herfrid Kerman (Commander/CSM Pilot, first spaceflight), Jensey Kerman (Flight Engineer, first spaceflight), Harlong Kerman (Scientist, first spaceflight) Launch date: October 11, 1968 (Dates go by Kerbin days, not by Earth days) Duration: 8.78 Kerbin days Landing date: October 19, 1968 Pictures: The Saturn IB carrying Apollo 7 on the launchpad. (Yes, I am aware that the actual mission didn't launch from the 'milkstool', but I was too lazy to make a smaller pad for just this one mission) Apollo 7's liftoff from Launch Complex 39 at the Kerbal Space Center.

Apollo 7 shortly before splashdown, with the Mun and Minmus visible in the background, a sign of the great things to come...

A Kerbal Apollo - An individual take on manned Apollo missions Since the Apollo program is my favorite part of historical manned space exploration, I have decided to play some Apollo missions on KSP (You might be aware of this if you have been following the What did you do on KSP today thread, but I am redoing this, this time with pictures and somewhat more detailed descriptions). I only intend on playing the manned missions, so flight tests like Apollo 6 will not be included (This means that I will begin with Apollo 7) and also, these missions will not be exact recreations, albeit I will do their rough objectives. (Apollo 8 for example will still be a Munar orbit mission) I also consider to include some of the cancelled missions (Perhaps Apollo 18 and 19, which means some additional Mun exploration), so this will not be just a purely historical recreation of the Apollo missions. The Skylab and ASTP missions will also be included, since I consider them parts of the core Apollo program as well, due to their use of Apollo hardware. Meet the Apollo Kerbonaut Group 1: - Pilots: Jebediah Kerman, Herfrid Kerman, Dooddon Kerman, Theoler Kerman, Buremy Kerman, Rocan Kerman, Melney Kerman, Geofcal Kerman, Samsel Kerman - Engineers: Bill Kerman, Haldos Kerman, Ludbree Kerman, Sigble Kerman, Jensey Kerman, Rodous Kerman, Mind Kerman, Jenlock Kerman, Newdan Kerman, Harmon Kerman - Scientists: Bob Kerman, Gilely Kerman, Ribley Kerman, Harlong Kerman, Bartgel Kerman, Hanton Kerman, Duwig Kerman, Aldrick Kerman, Macdon Kerman Mods used in this savegame: Bluedog Design Bureau (For the Apollo, Skylab and Saturn parts) Kerbal Attachment System (For the containers to carry mission equipment) Kerbal Inventory System (For the inventory inside the LEM containing equipment) Surface Experiment Pack (For the surface experiments used on the Munar surface) Tantares (For the Soyuz parts used in ASTP) USI Exploration Pack (For the rover) DMagic's Modlets (For several minor modlets) Modular Launch Pads (For the Saturn IB/Saturn V launch towers) Final Frontier (For the ribbons for the Kerbonauts) Feedback is welcome

Finished my Apollo playthrough with ripoffs of Apollo 17 and Apollo-Soyuz today. (I didn't do the Eve flyby because I am not experienced enough yet to send a crew to Eve and back home to Kerbin)

Continued with my ripoff Apollo missions using the Bluedog Design Bureau mod, today I sent a Mun rover (In fact two, since I did two missions today) for the very first time. Am planning to launch my final Mun mission of this Apollo program tomorrow, as well as do a Apollo-Soyuz ripoff and perhaps an Eve/Duna flyby mission (As mentioned before, I did Skylab and Apollo at the same time)

Thanks for your help, the rover from the USI Exploration Pack works best for my Apollo-style Mun landings.

Sorry if this question has already been asked a thousand times but does this mod work with 1.4.4?

I am wondering if there is a mod for 1.4.x that adds an Apollo-style rover that can be assembled on the Mun via KAS and that doesn't require Making History? Thanks in advance for any answers

Aaaand finally did a Apollo 11-style mission, sending CSM+LM to Munar orbit, landing the LM on the Mun like Buzz Aldrin's fist on the face of that conspiracy nut and safely returning the crew home. Maybe I might do some planetary flyby mission later on, after some more landings... (As considered by NASA for the Apollo program)

Maybe Krubles or Kollars... (Depends if Kerbals are communist or capitalist)

Been doing some Apollo-style missions using the Bluedog Design Bureau mod, albeit in my savegame, Skylab and Apollo programs occur at the same time, and with different numbering. (Apollo 1 for example is a Apollo 8-style mission in my savegame rather than a tragic disaster on the launchpad) These were 2 Skylab missions, 1 Munar orbit mission (Apollo 8 ripoff) and one LKO mission with a LM (Apollo 9 ripoff) I also used this to improve my rendezvous and docking skills, which have gotten much better in just a few hours of gameplay. (Bye bye, MechJeb)

Just sent some relay lander stations to the Mun and made a ripoff Apollo 8 mission, sending some Kerbals on a trip around the Mun. Oh and I deorbited my Duna orbiter after finishing exploration of Duna and Ike.

#MakeDunaGreatAgain

Pfft...King is boring. He shall be Emperor of Mars.

Driving my Mun rover to the Midlands biome in Sandbox mode. (I happened to land it in the Lowlands biome, with the Twin Craters biome nearby, and the Midlands aren't that far away either)

Wait? Are people still discussing this?

Finally managed to successfully send a probe to Duna and insert in into a low Duna orbit. (I know that for some of you, it is insignificant, but it is my first probe that orbits another planet besides Kerbin and it's moons.)

So if the textures of the new planets arent stretched anymore, I think that that could be done on the stock planets as well, so it would fit in better. (In fact, I think that this pack should become stock, since unlike most other planet packs, this one fits in perfectly with the stock planets)

I made lookalikes of the SLS Mk I and Mk IB using the SSTU mod. (The only difference to the real SLS is that I used a different flag and color, but I could change that to resemble it's real-life counterpart)

I use autostruts all the time, especially for my SLS lookalike. (Autostruts actually work fine with my SRB's)
