They are from the KOSMOS mod pack

Awesome job man truly! This is becoming so much more than just a shuttle replica. It's becoming something that can actually be used. I can't wait and I thanks for making this awesome.

Not bigger than a 747 lol

Normally I would say hey man relax let him focus on one thing. However!! In this case, your ability to just throw together a working 747 from scratch. Makes me think that down the road you should definitely make an x-15 craft and b-52 to go along with. Something to consider. After you have completed the shuttle and ISS though.

Spacex has a 1.6 billion dollar commercial resuipply contract with NASA. Now I am sure there can be ways for nasa to back out of that contract but why would they? This is a failure that was bound to happen. It needed to happen. They will learn from the mistakes and continue on, mainly because they have to.

If Dragon survived they won't lose as much respect.

Can you move it up in the tech tree. Because I have half my tech tree unlocked and I still don't have it unlocked. Also your version of an lr-87 would be great!

Is there a 2.5 to 1.875 adapter that would be really useful?

I am sure he will. Mainly because there isn't many other ways to get this pack back to 100%. Also right now Mikes focus is on the Space Shuttle. I don't know if you are follwing that thread but that will be an epic pack to behold once it is done. I know you weren't implying anything I am just saying in general once he is one with the Shuttle the ISS and Dreamchaser will be amazing.

I know its bad form to ask for updates and that everyone has IRL things to deal with but........

Can I make a humble request? Once the STS is done pretty much ready to go can you make an official release? I know you guys are working on some really awesome stuff and if the time between the new stuff ie the 747 and the enterprise then absolutely wait for everything to to be finished before an official release. But if the STS is ready to go and it will be a week or two before you release because of the 747 and Enterprise, meaning the orbiter, the boosters and the external tank, then can make an official release for just the STS? I know jeast just posted two posts ago an update so the older release works in 1.04 but we want what you have been working on lol. Just a request I am sure it will all be worth the wait either way. Thanks again.

Distilling liquid hydrogen is highly exothemric and he would have melted the hab, himself, and probably the rovers outside, from all the heat. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/116406-The-Martian-by-Andy-Weir

A craft file would be really appreciated Other than that......Well done old sport!!

Im throwing this into my gamedata file now to check but does anyone know if this is ok in 1.04?

I think that its a trailer and we need to see what happens. I edit video and mix sound for a living and I can tell you right off the bat you can hear many abrupt sound cutouts and splices to tell a story in a trailer that is compelling for the audience. There is an abrupt cut at 1:53 that seems to be causing everyone to go crazy. They mixed Jessica Chastain and Kate Maras lines together to make it sound like one person was saying it. Then they combined it with a message popping up on a screen and then showed mara and chastain looking at a screen. We don't know what screen they are looking at and we don't know what screen the message popped up on. Its all cut together to make it look like they are receiving a message from Watney. I know in my bones that they are going to stick to the original plot and not tell the crew. Because then why even have Rich Purnell? Why have someone like Sean Bean play a character like Mitch if you aren't gonna setup for some emotional moments that need to be delivered by an amazing actor. Those characters are vital to that plot. I know this thread is for discussion that is why I made it. Please carry on and you absolutely don't have to agree with me or each other. But remember its just a trailer to wet your palate and to make people who haven't read the book want to see the movie.

Can you include craft files in the next update?

I think this is an appropriate gif. It's running and there is fear from a whole bunch of people chasing who want a piece of him.

There are....no words! I am just completely gobsmacked at the direction this pack is going! I can't wait for everything to be complete, the whole stack, the ISS, now the 747. I just cant believe it. This pack will allow complete fantasy immersion. I love it, you get all of the rep today. Bravo!!

I really do resent the lack of love for mac users. As a mac user myself and a loyal KSP user I have seen performance drops from each subsequent update. 1.0 has a habit of crashing almost every half hour. I cant go to the mun and back twice in a row. I can't get away with not crashing for one mission to and from, but its like Russian roulette the second time. Its gonna crash you just dont know when. Most likely right as you begin reentry after a mission.

I was under the impression that besides a switch to unity 5 that the memory leaks were going to be addressed. I mean the fact that they acknowledged the leaks is promising, however what would be the point of coming out with an update that doesn't address some of the biggest problems in KSP. Yea we upgraded to U5 but a still have game crashing problems. What I am saying is that since the acknowledged it, they probably have a fix for it. Otherwise they would have continued to ignore the problems so I am optimistic they will have fixes in the next update.

Realism Overhaul and RSS just got updated. Give him a week or two. I am sure our patience will be rewarded. Otherwise.........the kerbal death machine might have to come back

I agree however they can't go until there are proper mods to replace them. Bobcats stuff is awesome because they look good, function in game, and have a low memory footprint. So there is a large section of the community that want Soyuz, Mir, basically the soviet pack. However the alternative are too stockalike or so high fidelity that you need a 64 Linux box to get them to work. They are beautiful but let's be real the average ksp player wants it for utility and bobcat had a great combination of both. There isn't enough real world infrastructure in game anymore. We need these things. Everyone makes space stations model their shape off of the ISS, yet it's a struggle to get support for the real ISS pack. Everyone loves the Soyuz and Orion and models their ships off of them but there is no love or support for the actually models. So it is disheartening. Maybe they have to die for someone to start their own. Idk.

The issue is with the fairings. They are not recognized by the new aerodynamics. So they might as well not be there. So without fairings the ship is inherently unstable. Unfortunately it doesn't look like these parts are going to be updated anytime soon. I have hope that might be updated someday but not anytime soon. So play around as much as you can, ad some reaction wheels, and the vernors and try and get the rocket up in the air.

Woah woah! I dont know if this mod is cursed or not but please don't leave. I told you way way way back in the beginning that people were going to have polarizing opinions about the direction this thread goes. I wish I could find it but I did say it. Remember you do not have to listen to ANYONE!! You make this mod the way you want to make it. Don't let anyone tell you what to do. CHEECH I am beginning to think that you are Dragon under a new account! You are doing exactly what pushed raidernick off this project and ultimately and eventually off the forums. Here is what I humbly recommend Mike. Put up a stable release with the caveat that its highly a WIP. Then find 5-10 people who you trust and who give good feed back. Send them your builds as they come and they will test the hell out of each one. When you feel a public release is ready then you release it to the whole forum. I am not saying I told you so but when you first started I said that you were going to burn yourself out. Just relax take a few days off, don't come on these forums. Mod for yourself or make something for KSP. Make the shuttle that you want, fly it around, build a space station, paint it pink and purple. I don't care but try and find what made the forums, modding, and ksp, fun for you in the first place. If you can't, then I am sorry you will end up remembered and yearned for with some the great ksp modders of the past. But if you find what made it fun in the first place I think you will come back rejuvenated and better prepared for the best and worst this community has to offer. I hope that you find it because what you have done has the most potential I have seen thus far, and i have been here a while. I think I am gonna start calling this thread the Jumanji thread. Its been around forever through many iterations of KSP but its constantly being poisoned, broken, lost, found, shot at, stampeded and transformed into something else. Please don't leave J̶u̶m̶a̶n̶j̶i̶ I mean the CSS. I promise that you will be sorely missed.

Have you used or seen the current boosters in the pack? They are gorgeous and nothing like the ones from the past.
