    Just some information I wanted to share. My great grandfather worked on the Saturn V. I believe it was the guidance unit. I'll have to check with my father, but I'm pretty sure it was the guidance unit or the guidance computers.

    The Nova was supposed to be made for direct ascent to the moon, but it was also was supposed to go to Mars. Moon first, mars second.

    This ^ Also BioHaZarD.PT, you can look at my post on page 297 for the links to all the proposed Nova rockets. I've never heard of that Nova, and I can't find it in google. Unless your talking about the Dev.

    Well, Frizzank hasn't decided on a look for the Nova yet, at least that's what I'm getting from him saying he's still messing around with the configs lol. I don't want to assume anything, so lets just ask him. Hey Frizzank! What model are you using for the Nova?
  5. GoldForest
    That actually has four of five nozzles on the second stage. Also, what constitutes a 'real Nova'? Multiple companies submitted designs, and even NASA themselves came up with a list of them. http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/n/novamm.gif -Martin Marietta Basic Degsins http://www.buildtheenterprise.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/nova-heavy-lifter-rockets-v3.png - Martin Marietta Advanced Designs http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/n/novammgd.gif - General Dynamics http://www.zentastic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/nova-rockets.jpg - Douglas Studies. http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/n/novanasa.gif - NASA There were many many many Nova designs. My personal favorites are: N14A N34 in MMBD's link All of the ones in GD's link OOST and ROOST in the DS' Link And for the NASA link, the 59Ks and all of the ones to the left of them. I plan on making most of those Nova's for my mod which has been put on halt because of college, but now I have some free time, so hopefully I can get them out there. I was planning on making a Saturn Nova, but since Frizzank is doing on, I might not make it.

    Nope, 8 F-1s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_C-8 Check for yourself. The right side bar has the stage info. Edit, just found some pics of what the C-8 should look like. These are models, but they are basically what it should look like.
  7. GoldForest
    The Saturn-Nova is basically the C-8. So basically it's going to be this CSM S-IVB Stretch with 1 J-2 Increased Diameter S-II with 8 J-2s Increased Diameter S-IC with 8 F-1s 8 F-1s... Oh boy. Jeb is going to go crazy.

    Update 3: So I made it to Duna, but I had to use the fuel from the return to Orbit lander, the crew decent capsules, and the Kerbin return Capsule. The crew decent capsules are two Odins and the kerbin return capsule is the Freyja from Nova Punch. Now to launch the refueler lol. I need to get 4815 LF, 5885 O, and around 3 to 4K of Mono to refuel the craft lol Wish me luck... Update 4: So obviously to meet the LFO requirement of my craft, I need to launch four of the Saturn V third stage tanks with a single engine mount... Oh boy... And This mission is all single launches so... I need to get four tanks into orbit, out of orbit, to Duna, into orbit, then dock it with the craft... This is going to be FUN Update 5: Screw the one lift rule. If I followed it I would have to take seven tanks up to orbit. That's just impossible... well... not impossible, but my computer couldn't handle to the lag of a launch vehicle that size.

    This is an update on the status of my interstellar craft launched with two Saturn Vs. Okay, after much designing and redesigning, I managed to get the craft into space and out of orbit. It's on it's way to Duna now. I will post pics of the whole mission when I can. Update 2: "This just in... we are receiving word that the mission... has suffered a catastrophic failure..." Okay, turns out the craft doesn't have enough fuel to get home... it will get to Duna, using the lander fuel and then fuel from the landing capsules, but... I'm going have to launch a second mission with a refueler. Hopefully I can get the refueler there without any problem, otherwise... Jeb, Bob, Bill, Donbus, Thompster, and Obgun are doomed to circle Duna forever. Looks like I didn't have enough boosters lol
  10. GoldForest
    I thought about that.
  11. GoldForest
    Lol, I'm launching the Manned mission in a few minutes. I'm also experimenting with getting a whole Saturn V in orbit. I'll take screenshots. Don't put your jaw back on just yet. Lol
  12. GoldForest
    True, so very true lol.

    Toolbar adds a toolbar in game so you can easily switch between plugin menus. RPM stands for Raspter Prop Monitor. Basically it puts computers inside the IVAs.
  14. GoldForest
    Congratulations on your release of this mod! I followed it from suggestion to reality and I got to say, this is one mod for every player to have! even if your not going to do IVA missions!

    Hey guys, I think I'm insane... Now before you ask yourself if your drunk or seeing double, let me answer you. No. I DID strap TWO Saturn V rockets to the side of a Atlas rocket with an Agena. This was a test to see if I can get a fully loaded interstellar craft into orbit then into deep space... ... The answer is yes! I successfully launched the Atlas into orbit and it left orbit. I took it all the way to Duna and landed the Agena probe(after ditching the Atlas Nuclear transfer stage) on the surface where it is transmitting the data back to the wonderful minds at the KSC. Next mission is manned. Jeb, Bob, and Bill(along with a few others) are training hard to go to Duna while the scientists and builders work on a rocket that will carry crew and lander to Duna and back. "Good luck and God speed gentlemen." *Cue Armageddon theme music* http://imgur.com/a/jy2Yq#0

    Nova Parts aren't in the vote. He says he is making them though.
  17. GoldForest
    And goo lights.

    I've actually been meaning to ask you something considering the Nova. The Saturn-Nova is one of my planned projects. I'm not that good of a modder to be making command pods and certainly not the lunar lander with all its different angles. So I was wondering, could I make an addon pack for your Saturn? I would only need to make the first stage and second stage as well as the stage 1-2 connector. If your okay with this, either reply to this or pm me please.
  19. GoldForest
    I thought about doing that lol.
  20. GoldForest
    The mainsail is just as powerful and you can turn that off in a second. Even the more powerful 3.75 KR-2L advanced engine can be turned off instantly. Why is that F-1 bigger than the others? Huh... lol
  21. GoldForest
    Awesome sepratrons!
  22. GoldForest
    Hey, Frizzank, it takes the Saturn V's F-1s a long time to spool down. Why is this?
  23. GoldForest
    Blackheart does not give out test releases for whole packs.
  24. GoldForest
    Why not dock with a Gemini? I docked Gemini, Apollo(Stockalike before FASA had the Apollo), Mercury, Orion, and a Soyuz capsule together before.
  25. GoldForest
    Awesome!!!
