Poqr Vedi/Փոքր Վեդի, Armenia Also, good on the pats for making it into the superbowl again

Ottawa, Canada Also, @Wildcat111 love your profile and agree wholeheartedly, although I do mourn Green Bay's loss. Boston is the only American City I've been to, and I love it, so I'll be damned if I won't cheer for it.

More focus on surface ops- Now you land, grab samples, plant a flag and done. It needs to be better. -
I remember following Kron 4 very excitedly, and then completely forgetting about this series. I'm glad to be back.

Thank you! I had a bit of trouble building it in the SPH, but I hope it works. I haven't tried launching or landing it, but everything else seems functional. I hope it suits your needs

@TheEpicSquared I'm back! It isn't yet the weekend in Toronto, so I am ahead of schedule. I present the Alchoujian Base 1, a Duna Base designed for eight kerbals, although it can theoretically hold twelve. It has a small amount of fuel, and enough antennae that it should be able to communicate directly with Kerbin. It has a pressurized area with a lab, cupola, and cockpit/airlock, and it also has two unpressurized areas with maintenance capabilities for the antennae, and access to multiple experiments. The part count is as low as I could get it while still including everything. SAS is powerful, but you will need to devise your own landing system. Thanks. https://kerbalx.com/yuchisquallus/Alchoujian-Base-1

One sentence you could say to annoy an entire fan base?

Sorry! @TheEpicSquared

@TheEpicSquared Thank you so much! I feel so bad, but thank you. I hope I can get it ready for the first transfer window/whenever you need it. It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but I'll do my best.

Procedure 1: Build the testing box (See procedure 2a) Build the lunar surfaces (See procedure 2b) Put the box on top of the first Lunar Surface (Sea of Tranquility) Place the objects on the terrain. Objects should be 2-5 cm tall (1-2 inches), and not too wide. I used paint cans. Note that for realism's sake, if needed, you can make astronauts, a flag, or a lander, or any combination thereof (See procedure 3d). Turn on the light. Using the hole in the top, take a picture of the scene (make sure that the pictures are good quality). Record observations, and save photos. Observations are recorded by putting a toothpick on either side of the shadow., touching it, and then measuring how far off of the line the shadow is on each side, and comparing it to the total width of the shadow Switch the First Lunar Surface (Sea of Tranquility) out for the Second Lunar Surface (Fra Mauro Highlands) Repeat steps 4-9 with the Second Lunar Surface (Fra Mauro Highlands) Switch out the Second Lunar Surface (Fra Mauro Highlands) with the Third Lunar Surface (Taurus-Littrow Valley). Repeat steps 4-9 with the Third Lunar Surface (Taurus-Littrow Valley) Print all photos. Group them into their terrains. Measure, on the photos, which are all in the same scale, the divergence of the shadows from the line they are on. Procedure 2a: Create a 2x3x2 foot (61x91.5x61 cm) box out of plywood (See diagram at the back for reference). Screw it together, but don’t make a bottom. Cut a hole on one side just large enough to put the light socket in. It should be about 18 inches up. Glue the socket in, and fill any gaps with felt Cover all interior surfaces with the black felt. On a side perpendicular to the side with the sun, put a circle of tinfoil 3 cm in diameter high up on the wall. Make sure it is flat against the wall. Screw the lightbulb into the socket. Test it to make sure it works. . Cut a small hole in the top to put the camera lens into. Make sure the camera lens fits into it, but it isn’t too big that excess light can get in. Procedure 2b: Buy materials (Lots of modelling clay, black felt, plaster, hot glue, reflective silver spraypaint, plywood, white glue, paper) Build terrain 1 (See procedure 3a) Build terrain 2 (See procedure 3b) Build terrain 3 (See procedure 3b) Make sure all three terrains fit into the box Make an LM, Rover, and two Astronauts out of modelling clay, paper and toothpicks (or just find three identical objects) Make a flag out of a toothpick and paper Put in LM, Rover, Flag, and two Astronauts/identical objects The items will be moved around for every test, and they will be switched throughout the different terrains Procedure 3a Cut a 2x3 foot (61x91.5 cm) piece of plywood Shape a 2x3 foot (61x91.5 cm) terrain out of Plaster. Make it mostly flat with a few (3-4) small bumps and craters. Make sure it is stuck firmly to the plywood. Spraypaint it a metallic silver once it has set Using a ruler or chalk line, draw a straight line down the center, from one side to another (Parallel to the direction of the light). Put a small piece of paper on the terrain, just below where the lightbulb would go. Label it “Mare Tranquillitatis (Apollo 11)” Procedure 3b Cut a 2x3 foot (61x91.5 cm) piece of plywood Shape a 2x3 foot (61x91.5 cm) terrain out of Plaster. Make it mostly flat with some (5-6) medium size bumps a small amount of (2-3) small craters. Make sure it is stuck firmly to the plywood. Spraypaint it a metallic silver once it has set Using a ruler or chalk line, draw a straight line down the center, from one side to another (Parallel to the light). Put a small piece of paper on the terrain, just below where the lightbulb would go. Label it “Fra Mauro Highlands (Apollo 13*/14)”. Below that, in smaller print, write “*Never Landed” Procedure 3c Cut a 2x3 foot (61x91.5 cm) piece of plywood Shape a 2x3 foot (61x91.5 cm) terrain out of Plaster. Make it mostly flat with many (7-8) large craters, a midsize amount (4-5) of medium size craters and a small amount (2-3) of small hills. Make sure it is firmly stuck to the Plywood Spraypaint it a metallic silver once it has set Using a ruler or chalk line, draw a straight line down the center, from one side to another (Parallel to the light). Put a small piece of paper on the terrain, just below where the lightbulb would go. Label it “Taurus-Littrow Valley” (Apollo 17)” Procedure 3d Build the Astronauts. There should be two. They should be simple, just two arms, two legs, a head and a backpack. They should be about 1.5 inches (5cm) tall Build the flag. The flag should just be a small rectangle of paper attached to a toothpick. It should be the same height of the astronauts Build the LEM. It should be a Regular Dodecahedron (A 3d pentagonal spheroid, essentially) on top of a hexagonal prism. Four toothpicks should make up the legs. It should be about 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Don’t worry about accuracy. They should be recognizable, but they don’t have to look exact. Glue the astronauts and the flag to square pieces of cardboard, so that they stand up. The LM should stand on its own Note that building exact models is not necessary, as long as something creates a shadow, it doesn’t matter

Sometimes I try to do that for a challenge @TheEpicSquared there has been a bit of a delay on the base... I have a shared steam account with my older brother. I live in Toronto, and he lives in a small town in Nova Scotia (some 4000 km away). For some reason, he changed the password on the account, so I don't know it anymore. Due to a massive storm, phone lines and internet are down, and his phone broke a while back, so I can't text him. I should, however, if I'm lucky, be able to get it to you on the weekend, as that's when he gets his new phone, and the storm should have passed by then, so the services will be up. I'm very sorry.
