I understand wanting to work with what's familiar, but I feel like there are better ways of going about it than using 60's tech and trying to get to Mars. I think the real problem is the lack of freedom for NASA's budget allocation. Take the Apollo Era for example. Of course we will probably never see that tier of public support again and therefore never that level of budget again, but the point still stands. We (Or rather Kennedy) gave them a goal: set foot on the moon by the end of the decade. And they did it. No one had to tell them how to use their money or what parts to use, if you give NASA something, they'll do it and under budget. So if we let NASA do it's job of sending stuff to space, we'll see them have more success. Don't ever let politicians do the work of a scientist

Without getting too much into politics and getting the thread off topic, it'a Congress forcing NASA to do something they don't want to. If we're going to make a new rocket, but use shuttle parts, why did we get rid of the shuttle?

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FLY SOMETHING AS SACRED AS AN APOLLO ON THAT PIECE OF TRASH But really, I despise that rocket

Is Skylab hype a thing?

Congrats on 1.0! I've watched this mod grow from its early days as a wee antenna pack, but have only recently begun participating on the forum because I was a little scared middle schooler

Ugh, delete yourself

Will this work in 1.2pre?

Yep

That's weird, it shows up on my screen. Oh well, here we go https://imgur.com/gallery/5eSd1

It's a little weird not having Saturn hype, so I figured I'd add one more for old time's sake

1.3 probably isn't even being thought about at squad. It's a joke by Cobalt

Is there any possible way to retrofit it?

I'm having trouble loading up KSP with this mod. It gets to the Agena antenna and just stops.

I haven't played with Gemini in a while as I'm still in mercury in 1 career save, and in the shuttle era in another, but isn't there external rcs blocks that you put on? I remember reading that in the manual

Nice mission! And btw, the proper terminology is now "hugging" not "docking"

Why not both at the same time?

Great job with this mission, I'll have to try out your setup! What mod did you use for the 2x Solar system and is it for 1.1.2?

A color, full body Kappa? This makes me uncomfortable...

The hype... It's... It's over 9000!

We choose to go to the mun! We choose to go to the mun in this month and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard!

Looks great, I didn't see it on the roadmap

Hey cobalt, you may have addressed this before but would you consider making a surveyor?

Ignore that message You need the orange omni antenna, the hexagonal gray probe core, the trapezoidal solar panels, and the rectangular batteries. I don't have the game open in front of me so I hope my descriptions make sense

Russian on a Saturn V? Damn commies...
