It happened
15 minutes ago, LordFerret said:Today I wrangled with an uncooperative game where, putting up new relay satellites in perfect circular orbits (ion powered, no MechJeb), I found every time I used time warp to help the wait for a satellite to reach a desired position, the damned Ap and Pe would change - because of the time warp. A few meters here, a few meters there... so inconsistent... so damned aggravating. My thinking is that this is not a thing which should be happening, there is no reason for it. Anyone else who has experienced this, feel free to chime in.
I've had this happen before, and something similar. When rendezvousing two things, when I time warp, my target just sort of teleports to its right for no reason.

I don't know about changing the colors, but a design change would be nice with solid white, but your flag could be put on it.

I have to download this.

1934: Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space, was born. He flew on Vostok 1 were he orbited once around Earth. After, the Soviet leaders didn't want him to fly, claiming him as too important. They later let him fly into space again. He died in 1968 in a MiG trainer plane craft.
1955: Walt Disney's "Man in Space" weekly series premiered, with Wernher Von Braun as a technical adviser.
1959: Several tests were conducted at Langley and Wallops Island for different ablative materials for a heat shield for an orbital Mercury spacecraft.
1961: Korabl-Sputnik 4, a test of the Vostok spacecraft, was launched. It carried a dog named Chernushka and the mannequin Ivan Ivanovich. After reentry on March 9, Ivanovich was ejected and landed by parachute while Chernushka landed safely with the capsule.
(The only picture I could find about it was of Chernushka, so here you go.)
1962: John Glenn was presented his Astronaut Wings, becoming the third man to receive them.
1986: Vega 2 completed its flyby of Comet Halley.
1996: STS-75 and its crew of 7 landed back at Earth.
2005: The Cassini spacecraft completed flybys of Enceladus and Tethys.

Awesome!

Well heating, cooling, waste management, that stuff. Did the Gemini suits have all of those?
Oh, so costume. I thought you were thinking about a full on Eva space suit.
They probably did. I don't really want to go uber-realistic and have to order size small adult diapers.

@The Raging Sandwich ? You gonna have full life support?
Well, I'm going to do something like Adam Savage did on his Mercury suit and put a fan into a sort-of oxygen blower that blows air into the back of the helmet. The helmet I ordered has holes in the back so it would be a good place to do that.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I've been caught up in another project, a homemade spacesuit! (I'll post it here as I go along.) I already have the main suit (a full-body painter's suit) and I ordered the helmet which should come in later this month or early next month.

March 8
1959: A Mercury abort test was conducted at Wallops Island. The abort procedure was less than nominal, causing sporadic movement on the spacecraft.
1977: Uranus was discovered to have rings.
1986: The Japanese Suisei spacecraft completed a flyby of the comet Halley.
2001: STS-102 and its crew of 7, including one cosmonaut, was launched on a 12-day mission to the ISS. It carried with it the Leonardo logistics module to be docked to the Unity on the station. It docked with the station on March 9 and delivered the module. It delivered new supplies to the station and retrieved trash to be returned. Spacewalks were conducted to prepare for a Canadian robotic arm to be installed later on in another mission. 102 left behind 3 of its crew and brought back 3 more from the station.

I would also add in the Apollo 1 fire.
No, he wasn't in Apollo 1. That was Grissom, White, and Chaffee.

Oops, the file was corrupted.
Your corrupted file.

March 6
1927: Leroy Gordon Cooper, Jr., was born. He spent over a day in space on Mercury MA-9 and flew on Gemini 5.
1937: Valentina Tereshkova was born. She became the first female person in space when she flew on Vostok 6 as propoganda.
1986: Vega 1 completed a flyby of Comet Halley.
March 7
1968: Zond 4 reentered the Earth's atmosphere. Its guidance system failed during reentry so it could not complete its planned double-skip reentry into the Soviet Union. As a result, it self-destructed during reentry.
2009: The Kepler space telescope was launched into orbit. It constantly viewed 145,000 stars, detecting over 2,000 planets orbiting them in its first 3 years of operation.

I quit so you can't fire me and you feel bad.
Your hurt feelings.

Aw, that sucks.

Did he ever do a Kennedy sort of thing with a speech and all?
No, he died before the Space Race started.

I downloaded it, everything seems to work well. But what about the Event Horizon around Kargantua? It didn't show up for me.

How did you know? (sarcastic voice is sarcastic)

What is this guy even doing here? Do you want to cause another deadly stampede?
Well, he was the Soviet Leader at the beginning of the Cold War (which the Space Race was apart of), so I thought it would be appropriate to include him.

The Apollo LM really does not lend itself easily to replication in stock.
I imagine this is probably going to hardest part of this whole project. Everything else is just cylinders, cones, and of course, rocket engines.
Wow! I think the only thing that would make it better is either enlarging the ascent stage or shrinking the descent stage.

I got something that said I was randomly selected to get an Apple Watch and had some "real" testimonies. Almost believed it till I thought about it for a second. They probably stole some peoples profile pics for the "testimonies".
I think that happened to me one time, but it was for an iPhone 7 if I remember. It was on my e-mail on my phone, too!

Another bug I spotted, may just be in my game, the event horizon in the newest release is just a spinning white square.
Otherwise, beautiful mod, here are some screenshots.
