To anyone still following with any hope of something coming out of me - Congratulations, today is your lucky day.
I cannot believe it has been so many years since I was last properly on here. How time flies is beyond concerning sometimes. Yet, said passed time has not been half bad. I've had a lot of things happen in my life, good and bad, but now, I am doing better than ever, and things are only looking up.
No thanks to the inspiration for flight that KSP gave me, I have taken up flying. I'm on the brink of getting a pilot's license, but, thanks to unusually high wind and heavy clouds throughout the year, there have been a lot of delays with training flights. I have a lot of touch-and-go experience, to say the least. Around 1.5-2x the hours that someone would have at this point, actually.
Recently, a friend recommended me to watch For All Mankind. Space had really faded from my day to day life years ago, but, with such high praise and with a topic that I will always be interested in, I decided to get that free trial and watch the series.
Not only was the TV show the best I've ever watched in my life, but it kindled something again. Coincidentally, with the graduation of Group 22 over at NASA, and the fact that we're heading back to the moon by 2024, that little kindled fire has really picked up. For the first time in half a decade, I'm truly dreaming of going to space again. And, if everything goes to plan with the AFROTC, I might actually get the chance once I get out in 2032.
Alas, the reason why I came here was to let you know that I've been seriously working on a story idea about a Space Race between my classic nation, Kolonia, and another, possibly two nations to branch out off the surface of Kerbin and to the stars. I have yet to actually install KSP on my computer yet, but, I have surprisingly good memory, and have actually been able to design the craft without seeing any of the parts in over 2 years time. If you're still following for any of this, I hope you're ready for an entire new level of storymaking. There were some good moments in my old KSP based writing here, but god, some of it makes me cringe. I'll try to do better this time.
We will see how this goes. I wish all the best to you all, and I hope that things have been well for you.
Take care, and I will see you guys when I do.
