The British must expand : A 2.5x size KSP Far Future Tech playthrough

[Superluminal Gremlin]

Chapter 1 - Starward Dreams

 

 

At the turn of the decade, with the successes of private aerospace companies like AXspace and Snowden Aerospace with their reusable first stage booster, the British government finally decided to reboot its space program, in order to compete with these private companies. The newly formed British Exploration and Aerospace Rocketry Subsidiary, was main directory was to colonize everything. Or, to make Great Britain into Great-er Britain.

However, in order to catch up with their private counterparts, some form of bi - partisan relationship between the UK and the US would need to be twisted. In the end, it was settled upon a helping had with science and research. This help came in outright theft of ancient US documents of early rocketry research. With this data securely inside their compound, the BEARS got to work. Within a few week, their first craft had been deign and built.

 

Christened the Mk 1, these early engineers knew that imaginative names would go down the sink. These rockets would not be remembered. Yet these early sounders where important in gathering important scientific data. Their first rocket, would also, however, be manned. This could only have happened because BEARS had drawn upon the vast technical knowledge of the NASA documents they had "acquired".

The first launch went successfully, albeit not smoothly. As the main "Flea" SRB fired up the craft rapidly tipped over as I needed the science from the ocean due to faulty code in the crafts navigation systems caused the craft to rapidly pitch over, almost causing Jeb to hit the "abort" (otherwise known as activate the parachute) button, however, he decided to play the hero, and take manual control and stabilize the craft.

 

First Mission : Success (mostly)

 

Buoyed with the success of thier first launch, engineers at BEARS got to work designing the most powerful sounding rocket kerbals had ever seen. It was called...

 

Mk 2

 

not the most imaginative of names, I know.

 

This mission went more successfully than the first. Its goal.

UP (+reach space)

The only grumble Jeb had, was the sustained 7g deceleration.   Gene thought Jeb was being soft, so he told him to leave and attend the many press conferences that where booked for him, as he was the first Kerbal in space, after all.

Mission 2 Success

 

and that wraps up chapter 1, thanks for reading, and photos / videos coming soon.
