@SkylonYou were talking about a mun lander, if you want to make it manned I'm happy to help launch a Soyuz A style lunar train, using my Rho capsule.

@TheEpicSquared I'm not sure whether this should be in the submission thread since it is a mission ensemble, rather than a lone rocket. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzr683cBbGPTN3pPcXY3UkdSbFE The Sigma-Rho project, using a Sigma lifter to carry the Rho manned capsule to LKO. First launch scheduled as soon as you can construct it. I'd like to hire a kerbonaut for SeabCo operations. PS. All previous progress scrapped. PPS. @Skylon I can launch that mun satellite if you still need it, for around 15,000 funds.

I'm just uploading my (new) rocket, since my unflown one was, TBH, terrible. The Alpha will remain a paper project, to be replaced by the Sigma. I'll post the craft when it finishes.

Right, after cancelling the Mun-1 flight, I've decided to stage a Kerballed flight instead. This will utilise an Alpha rocket, and a specially made Rho Capsule.I'm up to sending your kerbals to orbit, for a fee which is TBC. The onboard supplies are enough for 4 days on orbit. To reiterate, one launch of this, ASAP.

Yep, I have supplies. It might even be able to dock to a station at a stretch. I'm up for it if anyone wants their Kerbals to orbit, I need those contracts!

Would I be able to hire a Kerbal? I'm looking towards manned launches soon.

Yeah, the Alpha is mine.

@Skylon I can take your payload to Munar orbit, but for 19,041 funds.

I'd just like to remind all that the Alpha/Mod.1 is ready to launch payloads of up to 1.3T, price given on demand. Can even launch small payloads on Munar orbital flights, and of course Keostationary orbits. Will even launch classified payloads, including industrial, um, 'inspiration' satellites (), over opposition launch sites.

I'm getting that as well now, no clue how to fix, but I'm on it.

Sorry to keep asking, but what's the construction ETA on my launcher?

My turn! I reserve Greek letters, specifically Rho, Omicron and Lambda. I may use others later, if they are free

Excellent challenge so far, so much that I have absolutely no idea on what my budget is I have a couple of suggestions. Once Kerbals start making it to orbit, maybe have a table of where e.g; what vessel, Kerbals are, and which are available. Maybe having a recruitment could cost money, but after it's yours to keep? Maybe have a file showing pictures of all the LVs and their stats? The current one gives no indication of size, or looks. I'd be happy to do this, if you want. Seabo14

Oh, I haven't got the mod, how long will it take?

How about a collaboration on Mun launches? Maybe even a small 1.25m tourist holding station?

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzr683cBbGPTU2JCa1d3VXFYcFk Here is the launch ensemble for Mun-1, it is absolutely imperative to be launched D16 H0M20, into a 75Km orbit. Enable RCS on launch, but when out of the atmosphere please disable the Vernors, but leave the monoprops. Hibernate the Probe on the trip to the mun, and deploy antennae with 1. Wait till the Mun phase angle is ~111*, then burn till encountered. Then put it into a 30Km Munar orbit. Cost is 22,750 funds. Maybe I could secure some government funding for such a monumental mission? Thanks, Seabo14

The Mun Race Is On!

Where do I upload my launch ensemble? Its being delivered to be assembled as we speak. (Cough*uploading to GDrive*Cough)

AFAIK Its a new 'iteration' every 3 months, so ~every 105 days I'm afraid.

Yep, I saw that, but 'the Mun has an orbital period of 38.6 hours which defines a Kerbin month' according to the wiki, which, as stated above, isn't how months are defined here. I guess that's more real-world accurate, but ~15 days is a VERY fast R&D period for new rockets.

Also, I'd like to announce the first launch of the Alpha/Mod.1, for which it is imperative to be launched at precisely D16 H0M20S0, carrying an in-house demo payload, which will circle the Mun. Launch will go ahead when @TheEpicSquared confirms. According to KSP wiki, a year is 426 days. 426/12= 35.5 days to a month. @TheEpicSquared

How long is a Kerbal month for this? Are you going with the easier year/12, or Munar months (e.g one orbit)? TIA.

SeabCo Aerospace is proud to present... The Alpha/Mod.1! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzr683cBbGPTVi1NQm9iSE1yb1k This first gen rocket can take a total of 1.3 Tons to orbit, perfect for any sputnik style POC satellites. RRP is 15,000 for a fully fuelled, freshly polished rocket! Included is a special spacecraft bus, perfect for satellite core, or multiple module orbital constructions. Remember to tell your Kerbals to enable RCS!

Hi, I'd like to sign up to become a LP on behalf of SeabCo Rocketry. (Who knows, maybe we'll become a PP later, I'll have to discuss with the CEO..) I have to ask, must the rockets be orbital, or can I start with a couple of sounding rocket style launchers? Great mission BTW!

+1 on Rendevous with Rama, easily better than Space Odyssey. The final line (no spoilers!) was an AMAZING ending. Das Marsprojekt By Wehrner von Braun is a great read for a non-fiction explanation of spaceflight, lots of equations watch out! I was motivated to recreate it myself in KSP.
