    Yes! I'm so glad that cupola is getting internals!

    I shudder at the kind of lifting power it would take to loft a tank that big full to orbit!

    It's certainly on my radar, though if I did end up doing it it'd probably be just one glider and one passenger ship, as even the one Moon Lander did some not fun things to my framerate. As for Burntogether, it might actually work for me since I'm actually still on 1.2

    Continuing onwards from my previous post, today I finally sent my Von Braun Mun Lander on the expedition she was designed for! Most of the mission was fairly straightforwards, but the landing was probably the hardest I've ever done, this thing has the maneuverability of a battleship in a glacier!

    Very impressive, I love that you hads the sttion and the three landers as well! This would make for a pretty cool challenge, might write one up once I finish this mission.

    Thanks, it certainly came together surprisingly well!

    Last night, instead of working on my ongoing save, I took on the gargantuan task of building Wernher Von Braun's insane moon lander from his 1952 series of articles in Collier's magazine: As far as my google searches can show, I'm the first person ever to build this design to Kerbal scale and post it online. At 444 parts and a fuelled mass of 1,177 tons, I can see why!

    Have you considered using a Shuttle C to launch larger and heavier payloads so you don't have to do as many flights? I Believe that was what NASA was planning to do for Freedom.

    I see!. I was personally hoping for a Dual Keel, but this configuration should be awesome enough to tide me over. (Also probably a lot easier for you to construct). And hey, given how many delays the real thing had in its design process, I suppose its only fitting for this to take a good long time to get out of the gate, lol

    What are your plans for Space Station Liberty's design? Will she be closer to the IRL ISS, Bush Era Freedom, Dual Keel, or one of the even earlier design studies?
  11. billbobjebkirk
    Wow, this looks really cool, can't wait to go through the whole thread. I love those mission patches!
  12. billbobjebkirk
    Wow! Loved the video, that music combined with the polar landing site really made the Mun seem eerie and beautiful.

    Real Check Yo' Stagin moment... Also, it's a shame you can't do a halo orbit in game without Principia. Maybe as an extra challenge mode?
  14. billbobjebkirk
    I love these graphics! Takes a lot of work to make meterial that looks this authentic.

    Hopefully it will assuage your worries that the Meatball is still going to be the "Primary logo"

    The Worm looks like it never belonged anywhere more than it does on that falcon, it's a match made in the heavens!
  17. billbobjebkirk
    Finally the pack we all needed.
  18. billbobjebkirk
    Awesome work! I tried to build the Chasovoy station in 6.4x ages ago back when the thread was still going, unfortunately my computer at that time couldn't handle KSP and kept crashing while I was testing the vehicles. Very cool to finally see it done.

    I just used infinite fuel to fix a situation where I didn't realize my mission plan was impossible and wasted a bunch of fuel on it.

    Coronavirus has given me time to clear up my old 1.2 save at long last. On Monday, I put some Kerbals on the Mun: Last night I put them in a line: Then I finished assembling my Space Station And then I discovered that my interplanetary probe's Eve capture was fated to be naught but an Eve gravity assist:

    Started taking steps towards closing down my beloved 1.2.2 save, by performing my first Mun Landing in 5 years and setting the stage for a full scale Munar Expedition! Simulations show that my lander can make the roundtrip to and from the surface: Launching the Munar Transfer Vehicle into orbit: Sending the Surface Habitat to the Mun: Launching Mun Lander Now the full stack is in orbit and ready for its crew! Time to return to the Mun!

    Is that a Macey Dean style warship I see?
  23. billbobjebkirk
    This is insane... ...ly brilliant... ...ly insane.
  24. billbobjebkirk
    The drill is to create fuel for the ascent rocket, and the Fetch rover heads over to a previously landed sample rover and takes the samples to the lander. I'm using a modified version of NASA's Mars Sample Return infrastructure that was to go with the cancelled MAX-C Rover

    This is just the Duna Ascent Vehicle, In the album you can see the tanks for the launcher to lift off horizontally, then switch to vertical on the second stage, which I did because I don't have Infernal Robotics. As for retrorockets, it just uses parachutes to land on the heatshield. It should be fine...
