I feel like you're disappointed that I did the Karson Space Telescope instead, but don't worry. A probe launched on a spaceplane is coming soon, as soon as I work out the kinks in it.

Don't worry. Either way, i'm happy to see the progress of your space program.

X-3, CTV-13, X-4, and CTV-14: Marching Forward very slowly though

Seeing the success of the VAB, the SPH really wanted to do something themselves. However, all the SPH had recently was a string of failures, so they decided that they needed to change that. Working quickly, they quickly produced a new prototype based on the X-2: the X-3, complete with 4 RAPIER engines.

However, the mission was not a success. It turned out that the new Mk2 Rocket Fuel fuselages contained only oxidizer, and there was not enough liquid fuel to feed the hungry RAPIERS. It achieved an apoapsis of 50 km, but that put it in a really fast suborbital trajectory, and parts of the plane burned up when Jebediah tried to do an s-turn. Jebediah was NOT pleased, and he smashed the console. Bill just took notes on boring stuff, including stuff like how the console didn't break when Jebediah smashed it. It splashed down at ~80 m/s. 

Seeing the failure of the X-3, the VAB decided to initiate CTV-13, though some complained that it was a bad omen. However, it was rolled out to the launchpad despite Karen Kerman, who was the Lead Janitor, claimed that she was going to "call the manager".

Despite warnings by most kerbals, CTV-13 had a flawless ascent and docking with Pioneer Station. Shortly after, Bob took a quick spacewalk, and exclaimed that he "Couldn't wait to get working in that sweet sweet lab!"

After CTV-13, a project that had been long in the works, named the X-4, was rolled out to the pad. The X-4 was a vertical launch spaceplane, able to carry both cargo and crew.

The X-4 launched, however, it quickly flipped out of control, and then an issue with my finger and the spacebar the staging computer occurred. Valentina quickly staged off all of the remaining stages, and tried to glide the X-4 to a landing on ground. However, there were issues with the wings, and the X-4 crashed into the sea. Valentina was presumed dead.

I'm still working on a working vertical launch spaceplane and a working Mk2 SSTO. However, the Moho launch window is in ~8 in-game days, so I'm currently working on Moho probe designs. Again, any suggestions and comments are welcome.

Just now, Kraken that doesn't exist said:

CTV-13 was on time with SpaceX DM-2 in that multi-verse i talked about

also with valentina probably dead then uhh

press F to pay respects

Actually, CTV-14 is. I just finished doing CTV-14.

Anyway, Valentina will be back. She will respawn appear outside of the astronaut complex within 3 launches.

CTV-14, Moho-1, & Jool-1: The Rise of Automation (unsuccessfully)

With the success of CTV-13, CTV-14, fitted with an experimental Mechjeb AR202 unit, was rolled out to the pad.

There were some issues with the Mechjeb units. For one, it struggled to get to orbit, so the crew had to take manual control. However, everything else was fine, and it quietly rendezvoused with Pioneer Station and docked without a hitch.

Next, Moho-1, a probe bound for Moho, was rolled out on the pad and launched.

However, bad luck struck the probe. First of all, it overshot the Moho window, so it will have to wait for the next one. Second, during launch, I accidentally hit the spacebar, staging the boosters off there was an issue with the staging computer, staging the boosters off early. However, Moho-1 made itn into orbit. It will stay there until the next transit window to Moho.

After Moho-1, the next probe, Jool-1, was built and launched.

However, the night launch was distraous. A kraken attack promptly caused the probe to explode One of the internal fuel tanks exploded, igniting a series of explosions.

Sorry for a later update than usual, I was watching the Demo-2 launch.
