WOW, gotta say you make the best looking kitbash builds I've ever seen.
Got a few things to ask.
1: What was the name of the mod used for the early apollo capsule design? I remember finding it once, and then loosing it.
2: how do you get those red decorative stripes, are they just a ton of MORL red stripe decals?
3: Do you have any notable inspirations for these, or were they all just off the cuff designs, cause damn, you really nailed the look and feel of everything, even the Soviet probe.On top of what others said, the red stripes and overall recoloring is done with conformaldecals, usually through the custom text part.
The designs are a mix of real and fictional: the CRAF design is real, just as Pioneer Agena, the D-2, the IOWS and the Galactic Jupiter Probe, while Kometa is fictional (more on the design in the tantares thread), just as the LEO D-2, AAP MOL and that specific C-3 design

What's the pointy spacecraft? It's something I don't recognise. What mod is it from, as I don't think the aerospike at least is from BDB. I saw the old Alternate Apollo mod but as far as I'm aware it never had anything like that. Very nice images, by the way!
That's a kitbash of an uncrewed version of the DARPA Space Cruiser!

A few posters I made with Tantares, love this mod

Would be nice to have one on standby for the next interstellar visitor too.
I'd rather make one for our current one while we still have the chance

Also, does this mean literally no "US Persons" in this refugee category have ever applied for and been denied from any other defense contractor, or is the DOJ going against all defense contractors all the time for this, or does LockMart, etc, simply hire them?
They have. Aerojet is the most recent to be sued

Well, this will be interesting! Not sure what the minimal capture burn would be at the optimal transfer window, but with the current TWR at Mars, a 400m/s maneuver is a 20 minute burn. And we don't have lander mass yet, or the scaled down thrust ...
That's pretty accurate, the real burn lasted nearly an hour

I Think Harrison Schmidt wanted mini versions of these guys to be loaded in a CSM and used for a far-side lunar mission
Do you have a link to that?

Apparently it was a 9-engine static fire
Where did you read that?

Or that they're slowly reaching the limits of reusability.
Ageing furniture and an escalating launch rate ain't working well together sometimes...
I mean, many of those are weather related. The scrub before this one for instance

I don't believe any vehicle has ever launched with a first-stage moveable nozzle extension, except maybe some of the earliest solid rocket ICBM designs.
Nobody actually built anything with that architecture, but it was somewhat heavily proposed during the early shuttle program for drop tank designs, such as Starclipper. The relative engine is the XLR-129

900 m/s are to stay actually at L2, but most (all? I think) don't do that - they insert into a large halo orbit around it, like in the figure below, which has a free insertion but is dynamically unstable and requires monthly corrections in order to remain in it
-
The F9 didn't launch Euclid to LEO, it injected it to an L2 transfer orbit. It has also launched payloads to GTO, L1 and lunar transfer orbits in the past

New pad for SX at Vandenberg.
Sounds like the VIF problem solved itself, lol

Everything (ship, weather and range) is go!

Countdown seems to be going smooth for now, we're nearly 1 hour before liftoff
-
spacex stream should begin shortly
-
Still no prop load, currently they're roughly 12 minutes behind schedule if they started now

Tank farm is spooling up! T-3 hours 24 minutes till liftoff for now

I usually set the text to AAAA or something like that, bold it and use that setting that makes text wider until it fills up the whole rectangle
