Wow, that's pretty cool! I'm happy I could help with starting this project. I'm pretty busy at the moment, but if I find some time in the next couple of days I'll try and contribute some more.

Well the story and the pictures are still here in this thread, just the links in the first post are broken. If you scroll through all the pages (yeah I know, easier said than done with 100 pages) you can still find all the chapters. Maybe if I get bored I'll try and collect the links, don't expect anything though because stuff happens all the time. EDIT: Okay well, I was bored. Anyways, I collected the links. The previous story (Mission to Jool) can be found here. It appears to be in the right order, so no need to collect specific links. As for the Grand Tour, I'm not certain what the Prologue was, I assume it's the last chapters of the Mission to Jool. The chapters are as follows: Chapter 1. KERBAL SPACE CENTER - LOW KERBIN ORBIT Chapter 2. LOW KERBIN ORBIT - MUN LANDING Chapter 3. MUN SURFACE - MINMUS LANDING Chapter 4. MINMUS ESCAPE ORBIT - LOW KERBIN ORBIT Chapter 5. MOHO TRANSFER BURN - MOHO ENCOUNTER Chapter 6. MOHO ORBIT INSERTION Chapter 7. MOHO LANDING Chapter 8. LOW MOHO ORBIT [MISSING] Chapter 9. EVE TRANSFER BURN Chapter 10. EVE ENCOUNTER Chapter 11. EVE ESCAPE ORBIT Chapter 12. AEROBRAKING: EVE Chapter 13. LOW EVE ORBIT; GILLY LANDING Chapter 14. EVE LANDING Chapter 15. ORBITAL OPERATIONS: EVE Chapter 16. DRES TRANSFER BURN Chapter 17. DRES ORBIT INSERTION; DRES LANDING Chapter 18. MINING: DRES Chapter 19. DUNA TRANSFER BURN Chapter 20. EVA OPERATIONS: SECONDARY COOLING SYSTEM Chapter 21. AEROBRAKING: DUNA Chapter 22. ORBITAL OPERATIONS: DUNA Chapter 23. MUTINY Chapter 24. DUNA LANDING Chapter 25. FOLLOWING ORDERS Chapter 26. RED DAWN Chapter 27. ORBITAL OPERATIONS: PAYLOAD B Chapter 28. IKE LANDING Chapter 29. EVA OPERATIONS: DAMAGE ASSESSMENT Chapter 30. DERELICT SHIP Chapter 31. CROSSROADS Chapter 32. GOING HOME Chapter 33. DIRECT CONTROL Chapter 34. OCEAN Chapter 35. GIANT Chapter 36. BEFORE THE FIRE Chapter 37. AEROBRAKING: JOOL Chapter 38. FLY-BY: LAYTHE Chapter 39. VALL ORBIT INSERTION Chapter 40. RENDEZ-VOUS: PAYLOAD C Chapter 41. MINING: VALL Chapter 42. ROBOTIC EXPLORATION: LAYTHE Chapter 43. VALL LANDING Chapter 44. LAYTHE LANDING Chapter 45. BOP TRANSFER BURN Chapter 46. TYLO TRANSFER BURN Chapter 47. TYLO LANDING Chapter 48. LAYTHE: DAWN Chapter 49. BOP LANDING Chapter 50. POL LANDING Chapter 51. IMPACT Chapter 52. THE GREATER GOOD Chapter 53. DAISY Chapter 54. LAYTHE: DUSK Chapter 55. LAYTHE ASCENT Chapter 56. RENDEZ-VOUS: LAV Chapter 57. EVENT HORIZON Chapter 58. EVE FLYBY Chapter 59. NIGHT Chapter 60. DUNA ORBIT INSERTION Chapter 61. RENDEZ-VOUS: DUNA SPACE STATION Chapter 62. END OF TRANSMISSION Chapter 63. WHISPERS Chapter 64. HELLO EPILOGUE (PART 1) - NEVER GIVE UP EPILOGUE (PART 2) - THE GRAND TOUR EPILOGUE (PART 3) - THE PERFECT STORM If you find Chapter 8, let me know, it's possible that I just missed it. As far as I could see the formatting is still mostly intact apart from some weird special character glitches. I wish I could do more to preserve this great story, but without CZOs help or permission it would be hard/impossible I'm afraid. Have fun reading.

I guess it's a work in progress. A couple of pages ago, CZO posted: We're all excited for it but let's keep in mind how much work has to go into a project like this and that CZO most likely has other things to worry about as well. But I'm confident that we'll indeed see the story completed at some point.

Just remembered to check back here. I'm curious, any news on this? Could use some good news right now as my RL has pretty much gone down the drain the last few months

Just remember to warn us in time when you continue this story (which I hope will be soon) because i'll have to re-read everything before that

Well, 0.90 is here now They didn't give us a new planet though, so I thought maybe this mod might be interesting for adding more possibilities - I haven't actually tested the 0.90 version of it yet though.

Yeah, finally some kind of ETA I'm currently not really active in KSP anymore, but i'm still here, waiting patiently (You don't have any idea of how hard it was to stop checking here daily )

No response for quite some time, I hope he's okay...

...Whew, everything appears to be still here

Well, this is Czo after all, so I doubt that things will go as planned.

Wow. Great Ending. Well, this is why I don't like american politics - is it evil to want them to lose? Because these secrets (whatever they may be) deserve to get shared with the world. I hope Rozer refuses (yes, probaby won't happen) or at least not only follow his orders this time. Also, I hope they don't get Ned. And, I bet that Jeb will be alive when they get to Eeloo. Damn, hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the sequel (but as always, take your time please).

This will probably be my reaction when the chapter is out

Well, 5 minutes left here. So I think it's going to be sunday then.

That would be so awesome! And I guess it's much more doable than making a movie about the whole story. And personally, I think that we wouldn't have any problems with finding enough voice actors - I'd volunteer for example if needed

I would also love to see something like this. Maybe CZO wants to get in touch with some of the KSP movie makers?
