So...
I have track after school. My coach is going to states the next three days so we didn't have practice today (or tomorrow, we're off Friday). I stayed 40 minutes after school for whatever. As I was there, everyone started rushing to the street. Turned out some kid's mom was trying to pick him up in the MIDDLE OF THE STREET and he got clipped by a truck and had to be taken out by an ambulance. So that was fun.

I tried my hardest to create a single engine SSTO but these was my problems in order.
- Not enough oxidiser for my circularisation burn.
- Lowers amount of liquid fuel in hopes of raising Delta-V.
- Still not enough oxidiser.
- Replaces Liquid fuel tank with a liquid fuel and oxidiser tank.
- Not enough liquid fuel to deorbit.
- Uses Hyperedit to increase liquid fuel
- About to land and of course, I crash.
I hate my life.
Jeb still survived though.
I feel you.

2017: SpaceX launches satellite NROL-76 and lands their booster back on the pad.
What day was that?
May 2
1955: The USAF approved of the Titan ICBM. Later iterations of it would be used for future manned and unmanned spaceflights.
1974: The Soviet N1-L3 manned Lunar program was cancelled after numerous failures of the L3 spacecraft and N1 rocket.

1937: Von Braun joined the pedant Party.
1949: Astronomer Gerard Kuiper discovered Neptune's moon Nereid.
1958: Sergei Korolev decided that Soviet manned suborbital spaceflights would be skipped and that they would go straight to orbit. A three-staged R-7 ICBM would be used for these orbital missions.
1998: The Dar al Gani 476 Mars meteorite was discovered in Libya.
2001: STS-100 and its crew of 7 landed back at Earth.
2004: The Genesis solar probe did a flyby of Earth.

1908: Eberhard Friedrich Michael Rees was born. He was in charge of manufacturing V2s, Redstones, Jupiters, and stages for Saturn rockets from 1940-1969.
1961: Mercury Little Joe 5B was launched. It was a mission to test the LES in maximum dynamic pressure. A stall of one of the booster engines caused the vehicle to pitch lower than planned, so the planned pressure at abort was actually exceeded. Other than that, everything else went to plan.
1963: It was planned for the Soviet N1 booster to be first launched in 1965. It would be able to launch 75 tons into a 250 kilometer orbit, 50 tons to 3,000 kilometers, and 16 tons into a geostationary orbit. It would also be able to launch manned missions to the Moon's surface and back and even manned flybys of Mars and Venus. It could also be used for launching space stations.
1991: STS-39 and its crew of 7 was launched into orbit on an 8-day mission. It deployed the USA 70 military satellite and CRO-A, B, and C satellites that released gasses for observation by the IBSS experiment, which was also deployed and recovered.
1998: Egypt's first satellite, Nilesat 1, was launched. It was a civilian communications satellite placed in geostationary orbit. It and Japan's BSAT 1B were both launched together.
2001: Soyuz TM-32 and its crew of 3 was launched into orbit on a mission to the ISS. It was to replace Soyuz TM-31 as the lifeboat spacecraft on the station. After docking to the ISS on April 30, the crew returned to Earth on Soyuz TM-31 six days later.
April 29
1985: STS-51-B and its crew of 7 launched into orbit on a 7-day mission. It carried with it Spacelab 3 and deployed NUSAT-1.
1990: STS-31 and its crew of 5 landed back at Earth.
April 30
1945: Michael Smith was born. He flew on STS-51-L where he died in the Challenger accident.
2004: Soyuz TMA-3 and its crew of 3 landed back at Earth.
2006: The Cassini spacecraft did a flyby of Titan.

I'll just leave this here...
(I hate these)

It depends on what I'll be doing in the game. I might be on the forums or I could be looking on Google Images for designs.

Dogfights!

X-planes would be awesome, maybe recreating manned spaceflights.

In pursuit, it's firing missiles at me!

1942: Dr. Valeri Polyakov was born. He flew on Mir LD-2 and LD-4. Spaceflight achievements were having the longest single spaceflight of 437 days and spending a total of 678 days in space.
1958: Sputnik 3 was launched. It failed to reach orbit when the booster exploded on launch. Another Sputnik 3 was launched later next month.
1972: Apollo 16 and its crew of 3 landed back at Earth after a mission to the Moon.
1989: Soyuz TM-7 and its crew of 3 landed back at Earth.

So my state (Alabama) is notorious for the weathermen getting everything completely wrong. Today in my science class (a real smart group of people [jk]) were saying how there will be tornadoes tomorrow and Saturday like they were definitely going to happen. I legitimately can't believe they still take in anything the god of weather James Spann tells them. This is also the class that didn't quite know what D-day was.

1967: The state funeral was held for Vladimir Komarov in which his ashes were interred in the Kremlin wall.
(Warning: a bit graphic)
Spoiler
1971: NASA discontinued the quarantine for future Apollo flights returning from the Moon starting on Apollo 15.
1993: STS-55 and its crew of 7 launched into orbit on a 10-day mission. It carried the German Spacelab-D2, a science lab attached inside the shuttle payload bay.
1998: The Cassini spacecraft conducted its first flyby of Venus on its way to its target Saturn.
2003: Soyuz TMA-2 and its crew of 2 launched into orbit on a mission to the ISS.
2004: The Opportunity Mars rover ended its primary mission.

1967: Vladimir Komarov died when the Soyuz 1 spacecraft crashed. Upon failure to deploy the main chutes, Komarov deployed the back-up chutes which tangled up with the drogue chute, causing the spacecraft to crash. He was the first person to die during a spaceflight.
1970: China's first successful orbital satellite DFH-Mao 1 was launched. Everything during launch was reported nominal and the satellite entered orbit 13 minutes after launch.
1971: Soyuz 10 and its crew of 3 landed back at Earth after its failed mission to Salyut 1. Only a night landing was possible if it was to land in Soviet territory. The air inside the spacecraft became toxic during reentry and crewmember Rukavishnikov fell unconscious. Other than that, the crew and spacecraft landed safely.
1990: STS-31 and its crew of 5 launched into orbit on a 5-day mission. It deployed the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which after repairs by later missions, would look out into space at different galaxies, stars, nebulae, and other phenomena.
2005: Soyuz TMA-5 and its crew of 3 landed back at Earth after a mission to the ISS.
April 25
1961: Mercury Atlas (MA)-3 was launched in an attempt to reach an unmanned Mercury spacecraft into orbit. The rocket failed to reach a proper launch trajectory and the mission was aborted. The spacecraft landed safely by parachute 2,000 yards from the launchpad.
1962: The second suborbital test of the Saturn 1 first stage (SA-2) was launched. The dummy second and third stages contained water to act as the weight of fuel during launch. Upon intended self-destruct, the water was released into the upper atmosphere creating a giant ice cloud as part of Project Highwater.
1968: A memorial service was held for Vladimir Komarov, the cosmonaut killed in the crash of Soyuz 1, with over 10,000 people attending.
1972: Charles Duke and Thomas Mattingly conducted an EVA in deep space to retrieve film cartridges from the Service Module.
2002: Soyuz TM-34 and its crew of 3 (one being a South African citizen) was launched on a mission the the ISS. It docked to the station on April 27.
