So one day, I was reading about the Von Braun Ferry rocket and how it was built based on the calculations of the inefficient rocket engines of the 1950's. So I thought: why don't I try doing this in KSP? Little did I know... Swivel Space Program: A Low Tech Journey to Glory (or insanity) So of course, I got to making the patches to make it happen. It's probes and planes first, then rockets... I also added a bunch of funny patches making use of some unloved engines. Basically all the engines I get to use are: Reliant, Swivel, Thud, All MK1 and below SRBs, Nerv and Jets (the rapier is excluded). I also made engine plates unlock earlier for ease of building engine clusters as well as using KCT with twice the usual wait time to spice it up. Furthermore, I threw in USI Life Support for more interesting stuff. (Note: Swivel gets are little rebalance for more vacuum usage) Now we all start from somewhere... The Silo 1 is a small three Flea-powered rocket surgery hopper probe. Still, It took us like 25 days to build this trash can of boom boom. Cool, now what? This is the Silo 2, a massive upgrade from the first one. Featuring the engine we're gonna use for most of this series: our friend Swivel! Silo 2 reaches orbit successfully... And makes it back too! (dont worry guys, rockball will not be ending, but I made so much progress there that I got sick of having to update the mission report...)
