I've started work on a new Fan Fic... Should I continue and post it?

Hey guys. I have been gone for a long time, like 4 months since I last checked the forums. I feel it has been caused by me playing other games and KSP2 being 6+ months away. I hate that I have been gone, but I have found myself with such little time because of my new favorite game, Rust. I've found it takes a lot of my free time back up, similar to how KSP used to. I got kinda bored with KSP, cause I had gone as far as Eeloo and had maxed out my tech tree. Regardless I felt that I had gone as far as I could. It has been a good run on the forums, and I'm sure I'll be back occasionally, but I feel that unless something happens big (aside from KSP1 development being halted after the next update) then I will most likely be off an on, checking back every once in a while. I will see you guys when I return, my full hiatus has only just begun. God speed and Happy Landings!!!!!

Hey, buddy, you got 747 posts, congrats

A Dream 7 years in the making, nearly crushed in less than three hours

I had a dream, seven years ago. It was not like Jesus' dreams, nor was it like Dr. King's, it wasn't even the demigods of Greek and Roman times type dreams. It was my own goal, one that I've held onto for 7 years now. I almost lost that dream last night. My dream was to be in CAP, or Civil Air Patrol. I went to my first meeting (official meeting, I had been to many in Houston's Thunderbird Squadron when my dad was apart of that squadron), and my first impressions were good, until the briefings. For anyone who knows an inkling about CAP's Louisiana Wing, they know the name Jude Porrier. He is CO of our local squadron and he is the long-winded, loves to hear himself talk type of guy. My dad (this was WAY back when) was actually apart of the squadron and him and Col. Porrier didn't get along too well. He was the type to do 3 hour briefings for stuff that should take under 30 minutes. He's also the type to have an idea but no true plan. So, I get to the meeting, and the 8 of the cadets at the meeting, 1 1stSGT, 1 double diamond(Cadet Col), and the rest senior airman or below. We, or those not at the promotion board, go to the drill pad, we had a member who was on her second meeting, myself on the first meeting. They did basic inspection, and procceded to teach the new female member basic drill. Two guys chatted with me, and asked basic questions and what not. Fast forward 20 minutes, and we were back in the briefing room. Col. Porrier was about to give one of his famous 3 hour Christmas safety speeches. But first he went over his letter to LA Wing on our goals and plans for this year, it was a thing that should have taken 10 minutes, but it took 45. His three hour speech, from what I heard from the cadets, this type of long briefing is super common. So about halfway into his 6 slide powerpoint, about 20:30 military time. My dad had had enough, he is patient, typically, but both of us had enough. It was almost 1 1/2 hours after he concluded his first spiel. He looped back to things he deemed "important" in this filibusting powerpoint during that speech. My dad apologized for this saying that he didn't realize that Porrier was still like that. He continued saying that he was sorry for dragging me through that. I told him it was alright, and that he couldn'tve done anything about it beforeh-hand, and I procceded to tell him what the cadets told me before we went back in. I felt bad for the cadets more than me, that Cadet Lt. Col. must've had to deal with that for years. Well, I went home that night, not wanting to go back, not with him micromanaging the cadets. So, my mother and father talked it over, and reached a conclusion. If they could get him to agree to hand over operations to my dad, a former Cadet CO, later a Senior Captain, we would all pour in the effort and time needed to make the squadron better. And they said, that I could stay in the squadron, and help out. Anyway, at the end of the night, a seven year dream, since I was 7, was almost crushed, in less time then getting to Eeloo without timewarp.

Okay, So I've been asking myself, who is the "King Band Of Rock and Roll"?? I know that Queen and Led Zepplin were considered to be the best of the Era, but who beat the other out. According to Spotify, Queen has 33 million monthly listeners, and Led has only 14 million, but Led had better songs. Which one did yall prefer. Keep the Debate level-headed, we all have opinions.

I just found out that KSP EE (Console) is at 1.3.1 currently, and  PC is at like 1.8.1. Why is console lagging so far behind, I love KSP, but this is kinda absurd, if SQAUD or K2 or whoever has the rights to KSP doesn’t start work on the console edition earlier, people are going to be super mad, 0.5.0 behind is pretty unacceptable, especially for a good game......

Problems

My city is about to be hit by a (possible) hurricane, thus I will not have any activity, or minimal activity, on ksp and the forums. I have been very busy the last couple of weeks and have not done as much as I would have liked, my Challenge, is still on hold, as will the rover saga. I hope everyone has a better week than me!

I will be starting a Mission log type thread of my KSP exploits. I will be doing it in sandbox mode, for sake of all ease. I will start the story a few days into the first year of my game.

As for the Challenge, it will be postponed, due to @adsii1970's sprained ankle, he will be unable to create and send the patch this weekend. Thank you for your patience and support in my first Challenge.

At 6 o'clock CT I will be broad casting KSP EE on Mixer for 35 minutes. I will post a thread for this stream. Don't be late!

Challenge update: I am getting the patch sent to me by @adsii1970 this weekend, I will re update the spoiler and fix errors, and send it to @michal.don for his final input, before writing it and posting it later this month.

To the group who has helped me make my first Challenge, @michal.don, @The_Cat_In_Space, and @purpleivan and anyone else looking forward to my first challenge, I regret to inform you that the Challenge will be published later this month, due to two things, my stupidity and inability to keep time and a decent calendar, and the lack of a challenge patch. I have a camp that is out of town until Saturday, and won't get back home until late. I have been dragging my feet in contacting @adsii1970 for mission patch help, as he is the only other patch designer I have heard of that may actually get back to me, although I did try to find one, I tried two others, one didn't respond the other was too new at it, in his words. And I still haven't gotten a full draft in, and thus haven't sent it to a Moderator for approval, to check to see if I am in violation of the forum rules. I may have it done by the beginning of next month, but that may change. Again I am sorry for this, I wanted it to be released this Friday, but as most know, life throws you curve balls sometimes. Sorry.

Thank you for the following!!!!!

I will be broadcasting on mixer in thirty minutes time, I will have chat active but don't have a mic, so all questions are going to be posted on a new thread tittled First Broadcast.

Hey SQUAD can you add a larger playing area and add a way to move camera up/down for Xbox’s EE version.

Hey dman do u know a decent video on how to launch a good space station and also a video on how to orbit for sustained periods of time. Thanks mate
