China's first moon base Yuegong-1 (Moon Palace-1) will have 36 square meters of living space. Initial design has been completed by the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Chinese plan to be the first to live on the Moon. Source: https://www.facebook.com/ChinaSpace What does the KSP community think about this? Will it be funded? If this is the case, when will it start?

For 0.24 or 0.25 or 0.26 or 0.27 or 0.28 or 0.29 or 0.30 or 0.31 or 0.32... -------------------------------------------------- Aesthetic updates: - Animated Clouds (on Kerbin, Eve, Duna, Laythe and Jool) - More differences between Kerbals (gender, mustaches, many haircuts, different skin colors) - Cities on Kerbin (and we must be able to see the cities lights at night from space) -------------------------------------------------- Gameplay updates: - Multiplayers mode - A Saturn analog with a ring system and many Moons - Comets and asteroids with strange orbits - Useful skills between Kerbals (a skilled Kerbal will have a good SAS effect and an unskilled Kerbal will do *****) - Kerbals can learn new skills with XP (a Kerbal who returned from the Mun will gain XP) - Parts cost and economy (with rewards for successful missions and if you bring back on Kerbin rare ressources like Kelium-3) - Life support, survival way (a Kerbal needs water, food and oxygen to stay alive) - Extractable resources (Kelium-3, Water, Oxidizer, Fuel, Monoprop) - Greenhouses (Solar + Water = Food) - Temperature Management (like in Deadly Reentry) - Fairings (and friction impact)

They have successfully land their Chang'e 3 and Yutu (the lunar rover) do his job. I hope China and Russia will work together; if they do, in less than 10 years, humans will walk again on the lunar soil.

I'm from the Future...

Preparing for 0.23 Launch Ten... Nine... Eight... Seven... Six... Five... Four... Three... Two... One...

The goal of this Topic is to imagine. A new American Moon Program, a surprising Russian collaboration with India or China. An international program for a Lunar Base (USA and China together). And more...

A Chinese on the Moon Chapter 1 : The First Launch We are in november 2023, the giant Long March 5 (model CZ-5-504) is on the launch pad. On the top of it, under his cap, the Yang Liwei Lunar Module (a LEM). CCTV is more watched than usual even in Western Countries. The countdown started and we hear the chief operator on the TV : - "shí, jiÇâ€, bÄÂ, qÄ«, liù, wÇâ€, sì, sÄÂn, èr, yÄ«..." A loud noise is heard, TV camera shaking on the screen and the Long March 5 take off gently but is rapidly gaining speed. Some minutes later, the 4 huge rocket boosters are detached; the first stage continues on its road. But we can't see more to the TV screen, it's too far. A lot of applause are heard, on the TV screen, a 3D simulation is shown. Shortly after the separation of the first stage, the second stage starts but shuts off quickly... An accident ? After a few seconds of doubt, the TV presenter announced that the cutoff was in the program. The second stage will be restarted later to complete the orbit. Chapter 2 : The Second Launch We are in january 2024, {...} It will be about the Launch of the "Command Service Module" with an another Long March 5 and the docking of the CSM with the LEM Chapter 3 : The Crew takes place We are in february 2024, {...} It will be about the Launch of the Crew with an Long March 2F and the docking of the final Lunar Train Chapter 4 : On the Moon 3 days after, {...} About the Moon landing Chapter 5 : Welcome back The crew took place in the Yang Liwei Lunar Module, {...} About the back on Earth

The First Moon Race was a race between USA and USSR. In 1969, the Americans win that race (while the Soviets look their N1 explode). But since 40 years (with the Apollo 17 mission ended in 1972 and the N1 program suspended in 1974), nobody really tried to return to the Moon. Now, imagine for a moment that a new race to the Moon begins... You got it ? Ok, write your stories here !

SQUAD has already distributed ModuleResourceIntake source code (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/7529-Plugin-Posting-Rules-And-Official-Documentation?p=157149&viewfull=1#post157149), but it was from KSP 0.15. I'm wondering if it were possible to have the source code of : public class ModuleResourceIntake : PartModule { ??? } public class ModuleDeployableSolarPanel : PartModule { ??? }

Post here your Research center concepts (technological tree, budget, limitations, etc.) Here one of my concept :

Achievements/Ribbons/Medals Test Duna Mun Created with GIMP I think I will retry with same icons (Sat, Rover, Flag) size but smaller planet/moon image (so the ribbon will be tiny) and with the name of the planet/moon writed.

Good work! But one of the most strange thing is that the game load all in one time; why it don't stream the files ?

Yes, I was on holidays. BTW I've been really impressed by the Kerbin City project. Actually, I'm working on another KSP project (Long March 2F rocket mod) and I will wait about Kerbin City evolution. If Kerbin City, in the future, don't do what I wanted for Konstructions, I will work on it again. So the project isn't die, it is in standby.

Yes, the Long March 5 maybe. You mean Shenzhou I think, and yes it will be cool to have that vessel. I'm French and I leave in France so... ask 于明八 about that You can't see YT videos without VPN ? CCTV speaks a lot about the new Changzheng ? CZ-5 and CZ-9 ? (in Europe, our media don't cover a lot the space program and even less when the space program isn't american or european ).

Bye bye Purple Eve and welcome Venus-Like Eve. Thanks a lot for your work!

Very nice job, I will test that right now.

é•¿å¾Â二å·Fç«箭 Changzheng 2F For KSP 0.21 Hi all, I've made the Long March 2F (actual Chinese manned orbital carrier rocket) parts for KSP. It's my first release so it's not perfect (textures not perfect, Escape Tower not good, Fairing needs more details, etc.), I will try to release a new version latter.

Use middle mouse click. You can't zoom cause of Jool. Sketchfab used a system to let you zoom on object (so you don't loose in Space), but near Jool the zoom is blocked by the collision detection. Use middle mouse click to workaround. Sure, it's the First Version, it will be updated.

Other Sketchfab models work ? I've same pb but for all Sketchfab models (but I can look my models without pb).

I've uploaded a light version of the Kerbol System on Sketchfab so you can visit the Kerbol System in 3D directly via your web browser. If you've comments about the 3D visit, write them on the dedicated thread please : http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/39769-Visit-the-Kerbol-Sytem-in-3D-directly-in-your-web-browser-%281st-version%29

I've just read the new KSP Weekly and I saw http://www.kerbalmaps.com/ created by saik0 (very good work btw) So I think the Devs let us use the game textures for Fan Work (if I'm wrong I will delete the 3D System without delay). First version: Enjoy the Journey.

Very good idea; I will do that.

Not only the colors; the ratio size/mass isn't similar at all : Venus Mass = 0.815 Earth Mass Venus Size = 0.95 Earth Size Eve Mass = 2.3 Kerbin Mass Eve Size = 1.17 Kerbin Size
