^^^and that^^^

wouldn't we be able to find something cheaper than an ISS resupply rocket? - - - Updated - - - ^^^this^^^

I say that the first mission that we do should be a few thousand metres up into the atmosphere, and see if it can come back safely. also, if we are thinking about returning, would we need a heat shield?

that covers space and gravity, but what about everything else? We need constant water, CO2, sunlight exposure, and radiation protection! how will we have the budget to do that? and the spinning might mess up the orientation on the craft.

Whoa whoa whoa, still gotta work on getting into orbit first, figure out what to do with the plant later. Like dharak said, we need to stick to experiments in earth orbit first. Also, how will we fit a plant in a 2U (even 3U) cubesat? how do we keep it alive? We will need to expose it to the sun for photosynthesis, but without the atmosphere the sun might kill it anyway. and how do we protect it from radiation? what about the temperature? will it even survive in zero-gravity? I say that having a plant is just too complicated. Stick to analysing the atmosphere and earth's magnetic field. (sorry if I've missed anything, I'm new to the thread)

I'VE GIVEN YOU TOO MUCH REP??? I can never give you enough rep!

That's the first fairing I've seen used in stock .24! rep for you!

210 TONS??? ummmm.... this..... is AWESOME. Can't give you any more rep though

holy... you got a interplanetary MOTHERSHIP into orbit, 1 go, fully re-usable design. I envy you. (rep anyways)

This looks really cool! rep for you, good sir

still no interplanetary crafts...

that looks SOOO cool! post those two crafts on an individual thread and you'll get rep streaming in!

ouchie. that'll be a challenge in itself.

. :O :O that is... just wow. *frantically gives rep*

You sir, are the second-best cargo-SSTO builder I have ever seen (first being Overfloater, of course). *tries to give rep* 'you must spread some rep around before blah blah blah blah'. *sigh*

I like how you used only 2 landing legs! that must really save on cost

WHOA! I tried making a cargo SSTO before, but it resulted in many explosions and possibly the death of a few kerbals. I applaud thou, and thou shall now receive thee rep (edit) if I could...

Nice one Bagel Rabbit! plz youtube vid on it? (BTW, +rep+)

you said you would show how you did the cargo bay!

THAT??? in FIVE DAYS??? ok. If I even tried to do that, I would get maximum 2 modules done without getting too bored. also, FIVE DAYS.

Can we get a few pics from inside the fuselage, to see how it's made? coz I have no idea what you just said

on the first photo, how the heck did you keep the fuel tank going after the payload???

Wow! you are re-usable space program worthy!

There is a hidden canard inside the flight deck (I'm not a fan of visible canards) and the craft can still take off conventionally if I move the rear landing gears towards the CoM. But since this is STOL configuration, the gears are further back to provide better stability. why can't I give you any more rep

Oh. My. GOK.
