I know all of you wonder silently, "What if SLS is cancelled? What if NASA gets shut down? What will happen?" And you hope against hope that won't happen. But, is there an alternative? The answer is yes, yes there is one, one that the government wants us not to see. In fact, there are quite a few alternatives. Backup plan 1: Go crying to the Russians. Yes, this is one of the ones Congress is hiding. But the russians make good rockets, big ones at that.Ever heard of the N-1? But in all seriousness, they have a launcher that could revolutionize history. Its known as Energy, or Energia. This thing only has 2 launches, but was planned for much more. Least powerful variant, 60 tons. Most powerful 140. Also, fully reusable variant!! Take a look. Back up plan 2: SpaceX hype. This one I'm behind. This involves using a giant cousin of the Falcon 9 in the form of the Falcon XX Heavy. This thing means buisness. It can carry a fully fulled Falcon 9 to Mars AND BACK. And, it not only has the capacity, Its fairing is 200 feet tall. Back up plan 3: Go to the home of rockets. This is the one that congress wont even let articles on the internet pass over, i might get arrested just for saying this:D: Go ask the chinese for help. They are about to make something the size of the SLS. Its called Long March 9, or in Chinese CZ-9. This thing is pretty sweet, and according to Andy Weir it is probably the chinese heavy lift rocket in the Martian. This thing is massive. It might not seem like a good idea, but they already invited nasa to come abroad their station and in their fly by

Yes, SLS Block 1 will be quite a bit cheaper, with extra cargo capacity. In my mind, just delete the politics and SLS will be better. I mean, I'm a bit biased though since I know a bunch of the engineers on it.

So jeb is basicly a Mercury Astronaut...

This mod is quite old and I have abandoned it. If someone would like to take it over please send me a PM, and get to work! I would love to see this mod continue, but I don't have the time nor skill to make this continue. I read the Martian recently, and was very interested by the Chinese Taiyang Shen rocket in it. Recently learning blender, I decided to start development on it. I'm using the Long March 9 as a referance: Download: https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/1192/MajorLeaugeRocketScience%27s%20The%20Martian%20Rockets v0.1 http://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/the-martian-rockets v0.5 Required: Procedural fairings not included UPDATE v0.5: -KSP version 1.0.5 compadability -Engine bug fixed???

Sounds cool!! I might be watching!! Btw I followed u on twitch

Any updates yet triston? How bad is it?

Uhh why we cant have something like "Big explosive thing that carries people to orbit on top of a updated ICBM"? At least it would be honest. And btw Dragon V2 is way better, this thing is basically a copy of the original Orion

So hello there geeky kerbonauts!! I've been reading a lot lately about interstellar travel and how it'll take millions of years without warp drives. However, those warp drives are thousands of years away. Or are they? NASA and other space agency's have been trying to crack warp drives doing something looking like this: But I think they've been looking at it all wrong. Here's my theory: If we can discover white matter (opposite of dark matter, which expands space/time) we use that to pull a point of space into a few feet in front of the ship, while its normally a few thousands light years away. Then it uses ion engines to travel across the bridge. After its on the other side, it uses dark matter to push the 2 points away again. Of course, this is highly theoretical Any suggestions? Btw here is what I say to warp drives: http://imgur.com/CIkxLLf

^^^I second this

Owwww... Get better soon!

Always has been said. Ksp community is the best community of nerds in the world

Same right here - - - Updated - - - Also triston look at KSC page

Just did apply sorry

Triston could you put in the progress albums too?

Sampa could I do some modeling/testing?

Liquid are you doing the Space X Vandenberg pad? I could do that one

Can't believe I have school tomorrow... Soyuz launches are awesome when its day there... Can I skip school?

Yeah I've noticed that in mobile. Also anyone see my last post? Any volunteers?

If anyone is willing on doing Jiuquan I might make the Tiayang Shen form The Martian before the movie comes out. Anyone willing plz pm me

Triston did you get my pm the other day?

Korou is the city and Guiana is the territory

That's what it says (Guiana and Korou are the same thing btw

Triston is

I could do aero testing if you'd like. That way we could help each other out :-)

Should I add bev to the spreadsheet? And Triston di you get my imgur album?
