  1. Nothing I can do about it, the Cape is scaled for vessels while KSRSS is not
  2. Motivation for this era is coming back, a return is soon with a new format. The format will include months long time skips with story and missions from that time instead of one mission per post, NSoD is not dead!
  3. There is a huge lack of any modern pads besides Starship, I can't see the point in making it.
  4. Some pictures of the new Inline Shuttle C Payload Carrier, angled Shuttle C nose cone, and payload bay length switches.
  5. Skylab 18 | SLM-17 | STS-28 | October 3 - 11 | 1985 Columbia Strikes Back! Orbiter: OV-102 | Columbia Columbia returns to flight after nearly 2 years of being down due to orbiter mantience and major modifications to the orbiter some of those major modifications include the removal of HRSI tiles on the payload bay of the orbiter, and an STILS pod (an infrared camera for observing reentry heating on the orbiter). The removal of HRSI on the payload bay reduces weight, complexity, and turnaround time for Columbia, Challenger will also eventually get these modifications. This mission will be an oridinary visit to the station to perform various science experiments. With Space Shuttle Columbia being part of the orbiters capable of visiting Skylab again, flight rate in the Skylab program will increase. Space Shuttle Unity (OV-104) however will not get the modifications (APAS-75 Docking adapter) needed to visit the station as the orbiter will need to keep a payload bay with all its space available for missions that need it. Liftoff of Columbia as she rises again on her return to the Skylab program. Luna Roll program complete! Solid booster sep External Tank Sep Columbia opens her doors. Rendezvous burn to Skylab. Columbia nearing Skylab Docking Approach Soft dock Hard dock to Skylab, the crew will now remain at the station for days performing sciences from ESA, USA, and other partners. Columbia undocks from the station landing at KSC hours later.
