Sounds about right Saturn IB in 7, Apollo in 8, ETS and beyond in 9+.

When you wanna do a Moon mission but you don't have Saturn or Apollo yet
-
Now that I've made it to post-Apollo/Sarnus in two different career saves, I have some thoughts, unordered: A lot of the rockets in BDB are highly dependent on the structural parts to look good. Separating them into different nodes makes sense (different techs), but increases the number of nodes you have to go through to start using a rocket without it looking janky. Maybe the ETS post-Apollo parts should be on nodes after the historic Apollo parts, since they're derived from them. Vice versa for the Saturn S-I parts (like the S-IB first stage tank). Based on both of my playthroughs, you'll need to send at least some probes to other planets before you can unlock the Saturn V, and Apollo CM and LM (even when discounted!). Not sure if this is what you're going for, but I was beelining to Apollo both times and had to use KEI to get the KSC science to fill in some gaps. Both times in the careers, when I wanted to go to the Moon/Iota/Mun/etc, I used Gemini-level tech to get there. Post-Moon (like Minmus/Ceti) and subsequent visits to the Mun/Iota I used Saturn. May be related to the point above.

[Minimum KSP: 1.12.2] Snacks! - Friendly, Simplified Life Support
bigyihsuan replied to Angel-125's topic in Add-on Releases
Now that KSP now has a stock alarm clock, could we get support for auto-creating alarms for when snacks will run out, for both the stock alarm and KAC?- 866 replies

[KSP 1.12.1+] Galileo's Planet Pack [v1.6.6] [23 Sept 2021]
bigyihsuan replied to Galileo's topic in Add-on Releases
Is there any news about the Scatterer configs? I've found that with the recommended version I saw (0.0772), I'm getting weird screen-drawing issues when landing on Iota and Ceti (presumably other atmospheric bodies are the same, and atmospheric ones not tested):- 7,230 replies

My install is being plagued by Iota causing afterimages when pointing the camera from the horizon downwards. My initial thoughts are Scatterer, since it's on an outdated version (0.0772) to be compatible with Galileo's Planet Pack.

Thanks, that's excellent.

Is there a way to change (via ModuleManager) the "snapping" of the size selectors in the VAB? Currently, the "big" snaps for the size selector are 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, and some others larger than that. However, I frequently use 0.9375m, 1.875, and 3.125m parts and it's annoying to have to use the "small" snaps every time I want to use those sizes. (1.875m is especially egregious since it's a stock diameter size now.)

Quick question: What launcher family do you use most frequently? How about upper stages? In both my career saves, pre-moon landing, I use the Titan/Prometheus launchers by far the most. Simple launch instructions that is (mostly) compatible with MechJeb ascent guidance, and simple construction. If you need more oomph just slap on longer SRBs and/or a second upper stage. Post-moon landing though I switch over to the Saturns/Sarnuses as my main choice. As for upper stages I use the Agena/Belle series by far the most. Extremely reliable, that one, at least 2000 m/s dV every single launch I do. It's extremely useful for spamming those small probes and relay sats I keep sending up. Post-moon landing I use Saturn/Sarnus and Centaur/Inon upper stages.
