  1. Hello, Do you think it would be possible to create a "layering" option where you can assign different flags/text decals to different layers that are above and below one another? This would be very convenient for more complex creations that require a good deal of layering (and luck) to get right.
  2. I have been participating in this project since almost the very beginning and am very proud of how far it has come. I am very excited for what's to come next for KASA.
  3. Would it be possible to take Blackrack's volumetric clouds and somehow apply them to the SRB plume? Other than that, I think that a good way to improve the mod is to include RCS waterfall plumes for mods like KNES which currently don't have them (work off of a template/standard RCS plume if you wish). It's already an excellent mod and I am excited to see more progress on it!
  4. January 18th, 1958 With the launch of Sputnik-2 and Laika, the Americans are feeling a bit less sure about their absolute superiority in space. The Soviets had just shot a 1000 pound satellite into orbit, with a dog onboard, no less. The Americans couldn't compete with that. They needed some way to retain their superiority in space. February 28th, 1957 United States of America The X-Plane program. It had achieved some of the most incredible feats in human history, and it seems there would be no limits to how far it could go. Behind closed doors, the U.S. Air Force had been working on the X-15 for years; a spaceplane set to test the true limits of how fast and how high an aircraft could go. But now it was to have another goal: To send the first man into space.
  5. September 17th, 1957 Baikonur Launch Site, Soviet Union The massive R-7 rocket looms over the pad at Baikonur as engineers tend to it to make sure it is ready for the launch of the first Soviet satellite, Sputnik 1. The rocket is slated to launch tomorrow, and it’s critical that every single part of the rocket is in top-notch shape before it lifts off from the pad. A couple engineers are having a conversation while walking towards the main town of Baikonur, and the bars. "Why don't we try that new place that opened up last night?" "I don't know, how about that other one we went to last week? Don't they still have that double-strength vodka- Over 20 engineers and staff were killed in the accident. The launch site was badly damaged, but not completely destroyed, allowing for another launch attempt 2 months later. Sputnik would eventually orbit on the third of November, 1957. The Americans were none the wiser of the incident, but the 2 month delay only helped increase their belief that the Soviets were no match for the Americans in the playing field of space.
  6. May 24th, 1957 “3.. 2.. 1.. Ignition! Liftoff!” The Jupiter-C team watches as their mighty rocket lifts off from the pad, carrying the first ever satellite into orbit. The project had been going on for years, and had been in constant peril the entire time as the Navy with their Vanguard program competed for funding. But it seems like the years of grueling effort have finally paid off. America is the first country to reach Low Earth Orbit. Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union… The upper government is in chaos from the American launch of Explorer-1. They had seen it coming, of course- nothing can be hidden from Soviet spies. But they had no way of responding. The first Sputnik satellite wouldn’t be ready for months. If the Soviets weren’t able to compete with the Americans in space, who knows what they could do? They could send down nuclear weapons from orbit, for instance, or create spy satellites with cameras that could see all of the Soviet’s activities from afar. The advantage that the Americans would get if the Soviets didn’t attempt to achieve a superior space force was immense. They needed a way to avoid it. They needed to beat the Americans. ... But at what? The Americans had already gotten to orbit first. But they hadn’t started a manned space program yet. June 9th, 1957 Vostok program started
