Starting a BIG, orbit-assembled Jool mission

[cmacrander]

Hey-ho Kerbonauts. This is my first time posting, and I'm excited to share a really cool mission my friend and I have been working on. We asked ourselves, "what's the biggest challenge we can tackle in KSP?" and decided that a single mission that visited all the bodies in the Jool system was it. We did tons of planning and are just starting to actually put stuff in orbit.

We're going to have to play it in beta, though, since 1.0 changes so much, it would throw off all our dV calculations .

Right now we're hoping to video most of it, but we'll have to see how long we can sustain that. Let me know what you think!

Hi and welcome to the KSP forum. I watched your video and I loved the idea and how it began with the bang. I hope you'll complete the series. Here's some rep!

We're making progress! The main body is assembled. In coming videos we'll add the modular mission craft.

Entertaining videos. Hope you guys get more views etc! I like that you put little science explanation parts in them.

Cool! the only orbit assembled mission I have ever done is my attempt at colonizing Duna, and it is not done yet.

For Part 4 we had the challenge of keeping one really big ship next to another really big ship. We used harpoons, and I gotta tell ya, it was pretty awesome.
