Juno II, the launch vehicle that every space museum seems to have an example of, despite how badly suited it was to the job. Also I'm learning how to adjust the field of view to get better screenshots, hence why the SLC-17 service structures are so visible in the background

There's a reason for all those "Juno II"s at museums...they're not actually Juni IIs, but regular Jupiters dressed up as Juno IIs.  Only 10 Juno IIs were made, by lengthening the Jupiter by 3 feet and adding the Jupiter-C solid upper stages.  All were launched (five by NASA), and none more were made. The Air Force though did a have a large number of Jupiter missiles left over, and eventually a bunch were given to museums. Some are shown as Jupiters, but the rest were dressed up to look like Juno IIs...and all of those are 3 feet too short. :)

What rockets would the ERM and Airlock Alpha be launched on. It's ETS so everything would be wonky, I'm guessing some derivation of the Europa?

Canonically, they are both launched on Saturn ICs with AARDVarks.

I had noticed this a good while ago but it never bothered me until now, are the Atlas V 3.5m fairing variants broken? There's no difference between the short extension and long extension, they are both like thisScreenshot_6164.png

I’m not sure but I think it has something to do with the mounting of a centaur stage

The extension is the length of the wall segment. You will see the difference if you add at least 1 segment to the fairing. (at least thats what I remember lol, its been a while).

Edit: ok just checked it with zero segments it should be identical, the switch is for the length of these wall segments below.

screen_5300x2880_2020-04-09_15-28-47.png?width=671&height=807

Zero segments, 1 short segment, or 1 long segments lets you recreate all 3 IRL options

Separating the Skylab telescope in two pieces was an amazing choice :D

Awesome! Yeah it was originally meant to be a single unit until I think @Invaderchaos pointed out the body would be a nice large probe core. Glad people are finding other uses for it.

trust me, they are reaaaaally too many. The graphical ones are TUFX, Parallax (actually I may have uninstalled this one, but I still suggest it very much), scatterer, EVE and Spectra. The Shuttle is from SOCK, the rest is mostly BDB with some Tantares and Near Future in there too as well as AEIS for the landing legs
