This was one of 18 conceptual designs published 25 April 1968 for the Earth-orbital spacecraft lunar module adapter laboratory prepared by spacecraft design experts of the MSC Advanced Spacecraft Technology Division. The configuration was developed to illustrate the extent to which the building block philosophy could be carried. It would utilize both Gemini and Apollo spacecraft and would require 2 unmanned launches and 10 manned logistic launches. The report was published 25 April 1968. - From Astronautix Looks like one of @Foxxonius Augustus's fractal space stations. EDIT: Also, UV unwrapping on the LEM is complete, and I only have two antennas left to texture along with a couple miscellaneous areas. I know y'all are excited, but that does NOT mean the LEM will be available soon. I have a busy couple days coming up (guess who doesn't have to be sober after monday?) and I don't want to try and rush everything through Unity - the LEM is going to be VERY complicated to set up, but hopefully the result will be that it is simple to put together and use in game.

Unless you have Multiple bits(Over 20) with custom modules then whats the issue.(Not rushing, Just a Question and i understand IRL Takes Priority over Everything else.)

A bunch of them will be available separately as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not necessarily time intensive to get them in, its just they'll have to be iterated a bunch to make sure everything works. Once they're all in game (albiet with some missing texturing here and there, etc), I think Jso will start running batteries of playtesters through to test the balance and find bugs. The Saturn will be the easiest part to balance - the dV margins on the CSM and the LEM will be much lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just download the master from the GitHub, or download one of the weekly dev builds Jso has started to put out. Report bugs/suggestions here, or, better yet, on the GitHub. We don't have internal playtesters, We upload our work files straight to Github as soon as they're available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ready to be played with. If you're not planning on helping refine the balance to make it playable, then please refrain from using it.

Joeybafoey Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 A while back you mentioned (in the Tantares thread) that you were considering splitting the mod into different packs. Has there been any further development on this idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been any further development on this idea? we have a method setup up - batch files that basically have a list of all the files that need to. Be added to a zip file. So we just update them for each update, run then before release, and then have a bunch of zip files to upload. But we were all busy with the last update and now this current one, and no one has had time to do them. Its just busywork, if anyone wants to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltWolf Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) One small step for a Kerbal... ... One giant leap for Kerbalkind. More images from the test flight I just ran: http://imgur.com/a/w7kGC The LEM is available now on GitHub! Be aware that this is basically the bare minimum to get it in game - it doesn't have the full functionality yet, nor is it balanced, nor are the textures done. But let me know what you think!

You can see I'm spending it well In israel we have a chewing gum brand called "Bazooka" and they have some kind of fortunes packed with them (just like chinese fortune cookies) and for decades a big part of them just told that "until age 21 you would land on the moon" and at some point it just became a joke , but you landed on the moon in your 21st birthday , its kinda cool!
