Heres Apollo 8! http://imgur.com/a/vu8v2 Points +10 Free-Return Trajectory until in Mun's SOI Point Total: 81 points

Alright, here's Apollo 7, finally done with the boring Earth orbit missions. Looking forward to Apollo 8 http://imgur.com/a/qNfkp

@Servo That's a very nice Saturn V! Its 100% stock? Incredible! Also here's my Apollo 4 mission! http://imgur.com/a/9cpjN Point Total Currently: Saturn V uses 5 engines on the first stage, 5 on the second stage, 1 on the third. +20 Lander stored behind a fairing. +10 Launch Escape System. +5 Use Fuel Cells for power generation. +10 Use a life support mod. +26 Current Point Total: 71

Alright here's all my Apollo mun program hardware done in blueprints! Now I can finally start to do missions! http://imgur.com/a/rVmVR

I've been having fun in photoshop and made a little blueprint type thing for my lander. I'll make more for my Saturn rockets and CSM soon so expect those.

Ooh, I like your Skylab design! I thought skylab didnt have an engine attached to it though. I really do like the telescope mount. Also, here's a picture of my Munar Module with rover attached, I really like how it came out lol.

Hullo! I saw this thread a while ago and thought about entering but never did. But hey, here I am and I'm entering if that's ok. I'm currently working on my Apollo CSM and Saturn 1-B. I have yet to fly any missions and im just doing tests but here are some pictures! Saturn 1-B Apollo CSM

today, technically all week, i've been building a replica of the ISS in a (mostly) stock save using my shuttle and a stock recreation of the proton rocket. i've launched the zarya, unity, and zvezda modules and i just launched the Z1 truss. here it is so far not finished (obviously)

Thank you! Thats a great idea, the split rudder. I did manage to land my shuttle, after moving the COM forward a bit using a fuel tank. Here it is landed, a little short from the runway lol.

Thank you all for your help, i'll take all your advice, thanks again! I'll post a picture if I get it working.

So should I try to eliminate as much drag on it as possible?

Hi, so since 1.1 came out I decided to build a space shuttle mostly based on NASA's space shuttle. The whole thing launches great and it can get into orbit just fine, however problems arise when I go to reenter the atmosphere. Reentry goes smoothly til im about 20-15km in the air. At that point my shuttle spins out and begins to point engine first at the ground. Any ideas on why this might be happening? I've attached a picture of my shuttle's COM and COL with the ammount of fuel it has during reentry: I'd greatly appreciate any help, thank you!

@Borogove nevermind lol. mechjeb was limiting the dynamic pressure on my rockets by throttling the engines down to 0. i probably should have checked that before posting here. sorry!

hi uh, im not sure if this is a glitch or maybe just a feature of realism overhaul but i've launched several rockets and each time the engine, after burning for a few seconds, throttles down to 0 all by itself. is this just some feature im not aware of?
