    Here's the almost complete Bouffi. We just need the Grasshopper. After some "docking mishaps" the Grasshopper destroyed two of the large solar panels. (I am not too good at docking with RCS ) And it's own panels too. I've replaced them with the four small solar panels from the monoprop tanker.

    Today I launched the IKEA cargo lander to Duna and then Ike orbit. The Aphrodite-4S lights it's huge main, and four little booster engines. Booster sep. Here it is ascending through the atmosphere. MECO and first stage sep. It lights it's two terriers for a circulization burn. After some time in orbit it relights them for the Kerbin escape burn. Trans Dunar injection with the methane transfer stage. Duna capture burn. Ike Hohmann-transfer. Ike capture burn. And it's on a stable orbit around Ike. Next will be the Bouffi DT-2 launch.

    It's from Airplane plus

    I built my first ever SSTO it is propelled by four 0.365 panther style jet engines from Airplane+ and one downsized bobcat.

    Here's the monoprop tanker that was launched to save the Bouffi DT-1. It also carried an airlock for the Bouffi. Here it is docked together. The lander can next to the cupola is the airlock. On the airlock there are two cameras to broadcast the view from the Bouffi. And the DT is perfectly aligned with the Bouffi. While repositioning it I realised that it was hibernated and that was the reason for the bad docking. Next I will probably launch the IKEA cargo lander to Kerbol orbit.

    This is the Starliner I made because of the CFT. In space Abort test on the runway Parachutes successfully deployed

    I have launched and docked the monoprop tanker to the Bouffi and I will give an update with pictures very soon.

    In today's launch we are going to deliver the first droptank/booster to the Bouffi 3...2...1 aaand Booster ingnition Booster sep MECO and first stage sep Circulization burn Hohmann transfer to the Bouffi When I was approaching the Bouffi a strange bug occurred where I could see the kerbals that were in the Bouffi while piloting the drop tank. I docked at a bad angle because the monoprop fuel was not enough for a good docking. Next launch will probably be a monoprop tanker to refuel the drop tank, and then dock again in the good angle.

    I have brought two kerbals onto the Bouffi and I have inflated the hab module and putted some struts on it to make the docking more rigid. Anyways I might upgrade the Aquila SB with RCS so it can dock more easily to big spacecrafts. I will post on the weekend.

    Today at Replica Space Program we have made the F-111 Aardvark. The bomber with a gray camo sits in the hangar. It flies over the ocean in subsonic configuration. (The afterburners are on because the plane is very heavy and it only has 2 scaled down panther.) And then in supersonic mode. Because of the swept wings the wings were not rigid and they bended in turns, and it was not very controllable so i might do one in the future with fixed wings.

    I use cubeupload and it works perfectly for me

    Today we are going to launch the Bouffi Crew Compartment on an Aphrodite-5B. Liftoff Booster sep First stage sep (this rocket is absolutely overbuilt for this mission, at this time it had like an apoapsis of 300 km) Circulization burn After getting into orbit the second stage relights it's engine for a Hohmann-transfer. Hard dock confirmed. The CC has docked the SC. In the next mission we are going to get the kerbals on the ship.

    Today we are going to launch the Bouffi Service Compartment The brand new Aphrodite-5B with the Bouffi SC sits on the max upgraded launchpad. It's six powerful kickback boosters roar to life as the rocket ascends. The boosters separate and the two bobcats and four thuds ignite. First stage separation. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the circulization burn. And the Bouffi SC is on a stable orbit around Kerbin. Teaser image for next launch:

    One more boring mission: The return of the crew of Minmus Station Here's the Aquila SB undocking from Minmus station. In the middle you can see the core laboratory, on the left the service module and finally on the top the Mentos-2 Minmus lander. Escape burn from Minmus. Kerbin deorbit burn. The Aquila enters Kerbin's atmosphere. And successful splashdown. Teaser image of the next launch:

    Before the more exciting missions we need to start with more boring ones. Today we are going to get Bobgel T. Kerman and Bill Kerman back from Asteroid Sidke (I named it after a kerbal in Bartdon papers) with an Aquila spacecraft. The Aphrodite-1B rocket sits on the launchpad. Liftoff, we have a liftoff! Booster sep. First stage sep. Circulization. The second stage performs a Hohmann-transfer. Successful randevou. Bobgel performs an EVA to get into the Aquila. By the time Bill got into the spacecraft the sun has settled. At the periapsis they re-light the Aquila's engine for a deorbit burn. Atmospheric reentry. The chutes have deployed. Splashdown! Another successful mission. Here's a little sneak-peak of the Bouffi

    Pioneer III is the first mission with kerbals outside of Kerbins sphere of influence (Pioneer I and II were concepts) It is made out of three spacecraft: -„Bouffi” interplanetary mothership -It has a crew of four who live in a big inflatable hab module -It is propelled by a liquid methane engine -Theres science equipment in it -Its goal is to get the crew and the Grasshopper into Duna orbit and back -„Grasshopper” Ike lander -It is a lander with a crew of two, and a lot of science equipment -It is carried by the Bouffi -It has a probe core for SAS without a pilot -Ikea cargo lander -It is a cargo lander which transports surface science and a rover in a cargo container which can be assembled on Ike's surface -It travels separately from the Bouffi and the Grasshopper and has his own transfer stage

    I present: The iconic F-4 Phantom II https://imgur.com/a/6sQAR9G Historical footage of a dive bombing F-4. https://imgur.com/a/oJP14aW Jeb found an old F-4 in the hangar and decided to take it for a ride. https://imgur.com/a/2gLUXuP The he dived aggressively into the water but then pulled up at the last second. https://imgur.com/a/b2ZJ18N https://imgur.com/a/aILLb54 After climbing back to normal altitude he turned upside down, to scare bill. https://imgur.com/a/zqZ4qmM It kind of worked. https://imgur.com/a/y8a9OtD

    No, I have not played blazing angels, but I play warthunder
  20. TheKspEngineer
    Great replicas! I really like the story parts, and the blazing angels flashbacks
  21. TheKspEngineer
    Amazing story can't wait for more

    Im sad this thread died But It was an amazing story
