What does everyone think I should do when we finally reach next year's Apollo 11 anniversary (when I started this thread)? Should I do the whole thing over or start something new?
Just thinkin' ahead!

I dont know if you hate the Soviets, or July was just not the time for soviet rockets. Because the thing you said about the Luna 15 is pretty negative to Ruskiland.
Just stating facts.

I've finally gotten time to read this and neadless to say, this is a lot better than anything I can come up with! Kudos to you, @Spaceception!
As of this post I've only read up to Chapter 2.

I feel like there should be a more icy Europa-like planet beyond Eeloo with geysers and whatnot.

I've been thinking for a while that there should be an airlock part. This new part could be a radial part you can put anywhere on your ship. It would be useful to make ships a little more realistic. It could also be used as a backup airlock in case a solar panel or something is blocking the main one.
Anyways, just a thought! Tell me your thoughts and ideas on the part below.

My first Dres landing
My Minmus rover with Kerbin in the background
My long-abandoned Mun base scarred with experiments and module landers
My first ever asteroid mission.

Kind of feel proud my birthday is July 16th.... 1960 .... I saw the Moon landing semi live.......**
** New Zealand didn't have a Satellite receiving station that year (did soon after) so the Royal New Zealand Air Force flew Skyhawks between Sydney, Australia, and Auckland with cannisters of film (pre video) ... so what we saw was a few hours late... so.... semi live.....
It was that event which convinced our Government to build a receiving station ... now we have them all over the place....
EDIT: Yes, and by God, I feel old now...
I wasn't alive yet, so the next best thing to seeing it live is my parents telling me about it. (And watching videos on Youtube.)

More importantly, it was carrying the Chandra x-ray telescope.
Yesterday I was researching STS-93 and I was going to include something about the Chandra x-ray telescope but I completely forgot! Normally I write a short and condensed version about the event on a sheet of paper and I didn't include it.

I went ahead and drew the Nighthawk here:

My unmanned Laythe lander. I ran out of fuel for the carrier probe so I had to do a lot of wonky orbital physics to actually get it to Laythe. I did so but it landed upside-down in an ocean.
An F-14 Tomcat at sunrise. I used the Scatterer mod for both pictures.

No, as far as I know. I started this off as a post about the Apollo 11 mission, but I took it one step further for a year long project. I'm wondering if when I finally get to July 20, 2017, if I should keep doing this or not.
