DMSP

Helped with the aircraft in the beginning, it's part of the old Soviet Aircraft pack. I've been privately updating some of the still flyable ones, but quite a few are long bust. Versions hurt...

Not entirely sure if this can be considered a cinematic, but I think it's ok enough to be here.

No, thank you for the Tu-22! Handles really nicely for its size!

Yeah, I really like that one too, It looks really cool. Of course though it was taken roughly when I escaped Kerbin's SOI...

Thank you! I love your ZSU, by the way, and I will be using it again!

Alright, I gave vehicle credit to the people who needed it. I apologize for not doing that earlier.

Video is up!

This video was my hardest to make. It required more effort than any of my others, and I love the result. I'd like to say right off the bat that this was the best video I have created. I enjoyed filming the mission as it went on and I hope you will enjoy what came out of it. Any other details are in the description.. It took about 4 hours of KSP playing, mostly thanks to my laggy computer, to get this done. Worth it. If you want the craft in the video, head here: Enjoy! And the people I need to give credit to are @zekes, @War Eagle 1, @SpaceXray, and @Mad Rocket Scientist for the Tupolev in the beginning, along with @RixKillian for his M4 Sherman, @Azimech for his ZSU-23-4, and finally, @Raptor9 for his C7-142 Seahawk. And that's all from me for now! I'll see you guys with another video soon!

@ZooNamedGames, I'm wondering what the story is about. I'm wondering if you gave me a plotline if I could do anything.

Nice! That anomaly is going to make one helluva interesting story... Although it's been so long since I've seen the probes I'm not actually sure who built which ones! @KAL 9000, do you have any idea!

Thank you! I hope you stay for more.

*hugs back* It's great to be here again! Well thank you for reading. Look to @Raptor9 for those. They're here, all stock on KerbalX. He's probably the best engineer out there. I can only take credit for that rocket, but thank you very much! Yeah, it was not the best thing to write, but it's the start of a new world for me. And yes, that landing saved at least some Kerbals. Good enough for me! p.s, it feels amazing to have a comment from one of the best authors in the forum! Some of your comics have inspired me in different ways!

Sorry about that. I just felt like I needed to give a final post with a send off. You can close it now, and thank you!

Hey everybody! I'm happy to say I'm back and writing once more. I'm really sorry for my disappearance, that can be partially explained below. Thank you for reading this short story, and I'll see you at the next one.

Do you have the reaction wheels turned on? They'll help a lot if not.

Hello again anyone. I just shut down the thread below but I will need it to be reopened just for a little while, and then I'll need it shut down again. Thank you.

@lajoswinkler, is everything good? I hope that everything's fine with you and I cannot wait for this to continue on.

Before I start, guys, I'd like to say I'm really sorry for abandoning my last story. The save loss would have made everything I had worked on in the Beginning of a Space Program useless, and this coupled with a few other things really needed me to take a break. Some stuff has happened in my life, nothing bad, but just chaotic. I'm really sorry I didn't start writing sooner. But no more excuses. Today I start a new story, and I am so glad to because now I know I won't be burnt out on KSP and my saves are being saved every time I play. Thank you guys for waiting I'd first like to thank @Raptor9 for the crafts that he put out for us to use, I'm using them for sure. I'm proud to be writing for you guys again. Cheers to 2017 and a new adventure! I hope you enjoy. Table of contents: Prelude-"Ma..." Chapter 1-Old Memories. Prelude-"Ma..." Today, at 509 Centralized Standard time, terror unlike any other struck us. It struck our people. One Hundred and Eight souls now lie on the desert sands outside Oasis Field. Four aircraft were involved in this act of war, 3 of them being Kolonia civilian flights. Flight 877 of Koruan Airways, Flight 92 of Union International, and Flight 8799 of Koruan Cargo. All three of these aircraft, and one KSA flight, were destroyed by missiles fired by Ratest terrorists. The passengers on these flights are victims of a plot against our nation, our freedom, and we must not let this stand. Today, to protect the country that so many of us call home, the Republic of Kolonia's military has invaded the breakaway states of the Ratest Union and have shut down all ties with Katax Union as well. This cannot last. Today, we're also mourning the death of Isaline Kerman, a mother of two, a loving wife, and a national hero. She died aboard a KSA aircraft departing from the airport, flying towards our launchpad and her ride to space. She will rest forever in the stars. The KSA is being temporarily shut down after this. We will never let these criminals win! We will win! May SQUAD bless our people, May SQUAD bless the Republic of Kolonia! Ma... I can't believe it's been 10 years. Remember that day? You took me around the airport, explaining how you were going to fly on a huge rocketship and that you'd bring a star home for me. You took me around Oasis Airport, to where Flight 877 was, and everyone was so kind and friendly... You were their Hero, ma... You were my hero. I was sitting in the front of Flight 92, and I watched out the window as Your plane and Flight 877 rolled down the runway, Dad waved with me out the window... And I had my head moving to make sure I could see you. Flight 877 was lifting off as it vanished from my sight, but I could see your plane. Our pilots had left the door open, most of the Kerbals in the front row were kids, and looking into the cockpit was heaven for us. So, with everybody but me looking attentively into the cockpit, we began our roll. And I heard them gasp when Flight 877 was hit. I heard the pilot say "Baby, I'll see you there" and I heard them swearing when it hit the ground. It was chaotic after that, somebody screamed, and I heard the copilot shout 'We need to stop and evacuate, now'. But, as the engines went to reverse, the pilot screamed 'We won't have the time' and jam the throttles forward. That's when they noticed that your plane had been hit, too... I rammed my head against the glass, and there was your plane, and I could see pieces falling off. I screamed 'Ma! Ma!', and got pushed into my seat as the pilot attempted to clear any other missile launches. But they hit us, too... I saw the engine fling off in fire. And then... I saw your plane dive into the ground. I screamed. Dad grabbed me. Everything was falling apart, the lights went off, and the other engine shut down. More people screamed as another missile went by but barley missed. I would have never noticed. I know that a cargo flight coming in was diverted, I had tunnel hearing on what was happening on the radio. I heard the pilot saying he'd lost the tail. His last words were 'Gears down, Gears down, Oh SQUAD, Tell Jeneta I love her'. And then I heard the calls. 'Brace, Brace, Brace, Brace. Brace, Brace, Brace, Brace.' And everything exploded. There was screaming and groaning of metal as the plane came apart. The cabin behind us was ripped off. Sand got into my eyes, I lost feeling in my left hand, it was so awful... I've never told you this, Ma... But we skidded to a halt... And there was silence... But soon we clambered out of the ripped back of the plane. I was one of the 17 lucky ones to make it. I wish you had taken our flight, why had they insisted you took the private jet? I wish that you had been sick, that I had tripped down the airstairs, that anything had happened. Ma, I wish you were here, I love you and I miss you so much. You never got your dream. I don't know what I would do to have you back, but Ma, if you're looking at me from the Pearly Gates of heaven above, Ma, I'm going to make you proud. No matter what happens today, One way or another, I'm coming for you...

Thank you very much!

Hey anybody who reads this! I would like for this thread to be shut down: Thank you very much!

Thank you, I wish I could have continued writing this. I'll probably start my next story soon. And on that note-I'm shutting this thread down.

Thank you! I need to update them, now that I think of it.

Alright! I'll probably have something in the next few months. And no problem! Thanks again for the review.

Alright, sorry for the Necro, but I will be updating this and making a music video about it.

Hey, @Mycroft, I want to say THANK YOU for testing out my craft, I finally found the stream. Unfortunately I was unable to watch it live but I'm watching it now! If you ever need something else to review, I can give you a few more! Thank you! [Edit]: Also, the reason why the rocket's boosters would destroy the liquid engines was because I forgot to mention you needed to throttle down. I'll make an update on it.
