    This is a really cool concept for a space race! The only criticism I have is the names of the nations, but other than that you have a pretty solid mission report in store!

    Thank you for the tips! As for my specs, I have a very dinky computer. The visual mods I have I’ve carefully selected, to make sure they work on my PC. However, if you do find a really good mod, here are my PC specs: 8gb of RAM Intel Core i3 processor Intel Core i3 UHD Yeah, I play on a laptop.

    Thank you! This honestly a perfect fit for Kerman Station. I like the look of the low-tech ring. Ah, here we go. Now we have a real space race going on. And good luck with your degree, Fulgur! Don't worry about de-bugging, college is much more important than KSP. *** YEAR 3, DAY 315 - LIBRA 4 Rolled out to the runway is the Libra Orbit, a spacecraft unlike any other to date. And on board is a mission unlike any other to date. Felix Kerman and his coach, Milberry Kerman board the Libra Orbit for their "jump" from space mission. For the past month, the media couldn't talk about anything else. Who cares that Kerbals have gone back to the Mun? We like tourism (actually, there will be another Aurora flight soon)! Also, Libra 4 will test a brand new system: automatic accent. Jeb's Junkyard has provided a program that can automatically fly the spacecraft through the atmosphere. They have dubbed this system kOS (seriously though, thank you so so much Fulgur for writing the kOS script for the Libra Orbit). And so, Ronvin punches the activation code in the little instruction booklet handed to him before the flight, and the Libra Orbit is off! Pitching up Felix is handling just fine inside "Jet engine separation confirmed." - Gene Kerman The terrier engines finish up the burn to apoapsis, and the kOS system sets up a maneuver node for its orbital insertion burn. Now the Libra Orbit is back in the hands of the pilot. "It's real alien to look out of a plane window and see the planet below." - Milberry Kerman Afterwords, the standard space station procedures take place. Kerman Station's crew ready the main spacecraft, while the actual rendezvous spacecraft will preform the... rendezvous. Within 200m of Kerman Station And Libra 4 successfully docks to Kerman Station! Ronvin talks to his fellow kerbonauts, while Felix begins preparing for the highlight of the mission. He leaves for Kerbin's surface in two days. Until then, Kerbin is on the edge of its seat.

    NOVEMBER 21ST, 2024 - Artemis Performs Crewed Lunar Flyby! For the first time since 1972, humans have visited the Moon! Although only a flyby, this means NASA's Artemis Program is well underway to landing humans back on the Moon. The ESA has issued formal congratulations to NASA on their great achievement, and express their gratitude for being able to aid NASA on this achievement, as they're the ones who constructed Orion's service module. The experience gained from this mission is beneficial to the ESA though, as the data the service module sent back to Earth will be helpful in construction of the ACTS spacecraft. For the first time ever, the Moon is in reach to somebody besides America. NASA astronaut Christina Koch captures this photo of the Moon

    They also do it on the SLS’s SRBs too.

    NASA will definitely have an appearance, as this is happening at the same time as the Artemis Program. Russia will appear at some point, but I'd rather hold off their appearance due to... current world events.

    APRIL 19TH, 2024 - First Flight of the Ariane 6 Today is an important day for the ESA, as today is the first flight of the Ariane 6! The Ariane 6 is the new premiere rocket of the ESA, capable of flying huge payload sizes to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and Low Lunar Orbit (LLO). The first stage is powered by a single French made Vulcan 2.1 engine, and the 4 P120c Liquid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) will provide some extra thrust. The second stage is powered by a single Vinci Engine. This specific stack is called the Ariane 6-4 (I get its unrealistic to have the Ariane 6-4 fly first, but this is my mission report so ). In early afternoon Kourou, the Ariane 6 lifts off the pad, marking a new era of space exploration. "And liftoff of the Ariane 6, carrying with the new dreams of the ESA!" "Go for SRB sep" (Ignore the flames as best you can) "Stage 2 sep, coasting to Earth apogee." "MES of the Vinci Engine. Go for orbit." And the Ariane 6 successfully puts its first payload into orbit! It isn't really anything special, just a little commsat. But what it means is important. As we speak, a test boilerplate of the ACTS is currently in development, expected to be finished in mid 2025. The future of the ESA is coming in quick. However, the efforts the ESA is putting in have not gone unnoticed. China has announced their own plans for landing a man on the Moon in the early 2030s, with the goal of beating the ESA. It appears the world has entered a second Space Race.

    OCTOBER 19TH, 2023 - ESA SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Since the dawn of the space age, the U.S. and Russia have had total space superiority. Even China in recent times has started to expand their influence in the cosmos. They watched as the U.S., Russia, and China took off to the skies, carrying up space stations and Moon missions, all while they were stuck to Earth. Well not anymore. Today, the European Space Agency (ESA) has announced their plans to carry the first independently launched European Astronauts to space, as well as begin to host their Moon program alongside the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Artemis Program. The ESA has announced their vague plans for the program, involving the long forgotten Advanced Crew Transportation System (ACTS) spacecraft, and their future spacecraft design Smart Upper Stage for Innovative Exploration (SUSIE). Other plans include a European space station in LEO and LLO, a re-usable lunar lander (probably also SUSIE or some variant), and a Moon base on the Surface. A new age of space exploration has been ushered in. The superpowers of the world are no longer alone in space. It's time for all nations to collaborate and set out to the stars, for the future of all mankind. It's time for the age of the blue Moon. --------------------------- Looks like I pressed the redo button. I somehow corrupted the original save for this, and CERTAIN MEMBERS kind of ruined my motivation to make it. Also, I feel it got stale, and wasn't very realistic. So, to make myself feel better, I'm re-doing the whole thread. See you in the next update, whenever that might be.
