Ok, so I can't find the Youtube forum. Is it still around, or did that get lost in the backup? Please move this if I'm missing the right place to post it. Now, on to the main event - my new Youtube series! Real World Rockets! I'll be using various modded parts and ships to fly the American space race missions from the 1960s and 1970s. I plan on flying each mission, from Mercury through Gemini and ending with Apollo, all the way from Alan Shepard's space shot on Freedom 7 to the successful return of Apollo 17 from the Mun. I'm starting off with FASA's excellent Mercury Redstone mod parts, and I've put together the first few videos in the series - the flights of Freedom 7 and Liberty Bell 7.
Freedom 7 (Alan Shepard)
Liberty Bell 7 (Gus Grissom)
Friendship 7 (John Glenn)
Aurora 7 (Scott Carpenter)
Sigma 7 (Wally Schirra)
Faith 7 (Gordon Cooper) I'm still working on the volume and settings, so let me know what you think to improve them. The computer makes a bunch of noise for the first two minutes of the Liberty Bell 7 video, but thirty seconds into launch I fix the volume, and it seems to straighten itself out. I'll post more videos in this post as I get them finished. I'll try to do a few every week, but we'll see how time constraints work out on that. Please, let me know what you think of the video - it's my first one, and I'm anxious to learn how to improve them. Let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy!
