    Is it workers you need, or educated workers? The solution to educated is to simply place more schools. The problem should eventually go away. If you don’t have enough workers in general, you might need less factories and shops or more houses. If it’s CS2, I can’t help you. The game is called Mars Horizon. You can play as the ESA, NASA, the USSR/Russia, CNSA, or JAXA. You lead your space program from the earliest days all the way to the first Mars landing.

    I feel that a space race really isn't something we shouldn't be getting into again. This could lead to another cold war, and the modern U.S. is much more violent than it was back then. And what would this Space Race even prove anyway? It's not like we're fighting over ideologies. At this point, we don't even hate China because they're communist. We hate them because they're Chinese. Also, what would the goal even be? China's nowhere near finishing the Long March 9, Elon Musk is too stuck up to fix anything with Starship, and congress has no faith in NASA anymore. And Russia's, well, Russia. I'm sure I'll be chewed out thoroughly for this, but I feel the future of space exploration should be based on collaboration, not competition.

    Thank you! And I can’t wait for the next Jupiter DIRECT mission!

    Oh, you’ll see it soon. The RBS will soon become one of the most important rockets in Beyond’s arsenal.

    APRIL 8, 1964 - GEMINI 1 OVERVIEW Mission Objective: Test the Gemini Spacecraft Mission Destination: Low Earth Orbit Crew: None Gemini 1 will be the very first flight of the Gemini spacecraft. The goal of this flight is to thoroughly test out the Gemini spacecraft and modified Titan II. Ya know, a test flight. The mission will be uncrewed, and is not meant to be recovered. The battery aboard the spacecraft is only built to last about three orbits. After that, the spacecraft will go dead, and tracking stations on Earth will track it until orbital decay eventually causes it to fall back to Earth. And too ensure that the Soviets don't capture debris for their own space doings, the heat shield has had holes drilled into it. The spacecraft will burn up without a trace. The rocket itself is a modified Titan II ICBM, called the Titan II GLV. It's capable of lifting 3,580kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), and instead of a nuclear bomb, it will be lobbing the Gemini spacecraft into LEO. If all goes well this flight, it will become a human rated spacecraft. At exactly 11:00pm EST, the Titan booster fired it's LR87-AJ-7 engines, carrying up the Gemini spacecraft on it's first flight! Gemini 1 continues higher into the sky. Stage 2 separation! The Gemini spacecraft makes its way to orbit, and the Titan II rocket performs flawlessly. And engine cutoff! Gemini 1 enters a 155km x 271km orbit of the Earth! There, it begins sending back data to ground teams about its current state. The integrity of the spacecraft remains intact, and the perfect performance of the booster marks Gemini and the Titan II as completely reliable vehicles. The spacecraft lasts its advertised lifetime, and then falls silent. The spacecraft and second stage went under continued tracking, and after 64 orbits, on April 12th, 1964, the spacecraft burns up on re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. The mission was more than NASA could've ever hoped for! The Gemini program will see one more test flight, before being given the go ahead for its first crewed mission.

    YEAR 3, DAY 322 - NEW PARTNERSHIPS! Beyond is excited to announce its newest commercial partners: SkyFall Industries and CalSpace! They have submitted two modules for Kerman. SkyFall has presented us with their Centrifuge Module, and CalSpace has presented us their Habitat and Power Utility Module (HPUM). Together, these modules will expand Kerman Station, and turn it into a huge powerhouse and testbed of some of the most advanced technology ever conceived! Beyond sends a huge thank you to @SkyFall2489 Kerman and @TwoCalories Kerman for their submissions! X X

    YEAR 3, DAY 318 - LIBRA 4 RETURN Crew: Ronvin, Milberry After just three days in space, the crew of Libra 4 undock from Kerman Station and head back down to join their friend Felix. The Libra Orbit has proven itself to be quite the reliable vehicle. Maybe Libra 2 was a bit of hiccup, but hey, no one died! Beyond has now officially entered the Libra Orbit into its catalog of functioning ships, and in the future we hope the Libra Orbit will become a regular vehicle for both commercial and official flights of the Beyond program. Re-entry Contact! Libra 4 fully brakes on the runway, and is rolled back into the SPH for inspection and refurbishment. Congratulations to the crew of Libra 4!

    SEPTEMBER 12, 1962 - WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too" President John F. Kennedy at Rice Field Yes, it was true. On that day, President John F. Kennedy committed to a goal perhaps more ambitious than any in Human history: land a Man on the Moon before 1970. Easy enough, right? Well, at this time, America's space program, NASA, was struggling. Going on at this time was the Cold War, an arms race between the United States and Soviet Union. One of the fronts of the Cold War was the Space Race, where both superpowers were establishing their superiority in the skies above. The Soviets had first placed Sputnik 1 in orbit on October 4th, 1957. Later, they put the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, aboard Vostok 1 on April 12th, 1961. This was just two weeks before Alan Shepard became the first American in space aboard the Freedom 7 mission. Yes, NASA was indeed in a vulnerable area. And their constant failure to be first made Congress question the whole need for NASA. But Kennedy's Moon speech reinvigorated hope in the Space Program. However, America was not in the best of positions for this goal right now. The Vietnam war is ever intensifying, and President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas just over a year later. NASA isn't the main worry of Congress right now. But the program carries on, and created is the Gemini program. The Gemini Program is a program of multicrew missions, designed to practice the maneuvers need for future missions to the Moon. It's the most advanced Spacecraft ever designed. What about Voskhod? ADVANCED. Gemini will hopefully give America a much needed lead over the Soviets. The Space Race is now in full swing. *** Wha? What's with this guy? ANOTHER mission report? Yes, this another mission report done by the Stupendous Kerbalsaurus. Now, compared to my other other mission reports, this one will be very sporadic with updates. This isn't an alternate history, this is telling of the story of both space programs through KSP. Which means each post will have lots of research into its mission put behind it. Also, I've given myself the challenge of making each spacecraft without BDB. I like doing the work behind making replicas. The end result is much more rewarding in the end. Also, using the advice of the Terrific @Toaster355, I'll make this thread look more cinematic compared to my other threads. So, see you in the next post with the flight of Gemini 1!
