After weeks of busy schedule, I slowly modified my files and started a new Career in Stock size KSP with OPM and GU. I also turned on the Pressure and Gforce and is using TAC Life Support along with Skyhawk's Tree. Ofcourse BDB is a must have modpack I am using lol.

Didn't do much but I got some Sounding Rockets I dubbed Kes which mainly used Scout boosters to launch.

Ok I need to know how you guys are making these kinds of screenshots. I know TUFX provides filters, but all the other details, like the old photo look?

Ballisticfox and Zorg has Vintage filters for TUFX available to the public, I use BF's vintage filter, no photoshop.

Steve has his own TUFX profiles (I use them sometimes too, they're nice), but some of the effects in that photo look like they've been added in post.

Now, if you're looking for something like a grainy TV camera image, I have a set of TUFX profiles that I think work pretty well for that. Maybe I should advertise them a bit more.

What an abomination

Please tell me the probe heads towards Saturn

Expand  

I don't send my probes anywhere. This one went into a high eccentric solar orbit. I also don't keep my probes floating around. I revert to VAB after I get glamor shots. 

Also, I don't play RSS of any kind. Kerbolar system only for me. :P

Jarvis

Expand  

Correct! Also I didn't know you were on the forums. Your build guides for all these mods are awesome! I just built the Angara series from your guides last night.

Also just FYI I am making a boosted version of Jarvis as we speak. Again, won't be prototypical. Besides, @Beccab already did that, and in spectacular fashion as always. Also hoping to get my Jarvis on KerbalX sometime this weekend.

Edit: For anyone who wants to download my Jarvis: https://kerbalx.com/ManateeAerospace/Jarvis-I

Expect an update on SheLab progress... this weekend I guess?

Expand  

As promised, current state of the SheLab/LTV.

LTV - very early progress on textures, still need to model some of the driver seat area.

ZCjz0c0.png

 

The top/middle opens up to a core sample storage bin, the back opens up to a combination cubby+work surface.

Some have been wondering about the red knobs - they're the controls for the core drill, of course! IRL the astronaut would have knelt or stood backwards in the seating area to operate it.

If you want more info, here's a PDF of the design study from 1964.

Actually, I just realized the LTV reminds me of something else. Does anyone remember Lego Rockraiders?

It is that time again,   A new Article

Twins no more.   

A Brief look at the history behind the expansion of the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation (MAC) and later McDonnell Douglas (MDC) Gemini Capsule into a multi-crew and cargo transport craft known as either Big Gemini or Big-G.

 There was a lot more I wish I could have included in this article,   The 1969 final reports are still not available online, But as indicated Blackstar/Dewayne Day tracked a copy down and shared photographs that are pertinent and included above.

EDITED,   A few notes:
1) sorry for the no image post initally.   KSP forums temp-banned me earlier today when I tried to post this.   All good (it thought I was a bot or some-such nothing to worry about)  
2) there are other images of Gemini Ferry with the actual "hitchicker" mini pod for 3 extra crew.  However they are not public domain and I did not want to post them
3) by the same respect, while I mention the work of archipeppe from secretproject.co.uk, I decided not to post them as they would have been questionable.
4) The artwork at the top, is BIG GEMINI it isn't BIG APOLLO   Look at the window, look at the manufacture name.   That is the "Advanced Big Gemini" I refrenced in the article.  Not the "Min-mod" Big Gemini that is in BDB

Random thought I had. I was looking through pictures of the Apollo CSM. I had seen these pictures before, but never really paid them too much mind.

apollo_11_csm_sla_mating_apr_11_1969_s69

I know it's just part of the assembly phase, but I kinda thought the metallic/protective film blue had a neat aesthetic. And you guys already have multiple skins for the capsule and other parts in BDB, including some speculative ones...

Also, not to produce controversy, but despite what happened, I also felt the Apollo 1 capsule had a neat aesthetic as well.

Just an idea I wanted to share. You guys already have your work cut out for you with the existing stuff. The last thing I'd want to do is make things more complicated.

Expand  

Wanted to see if I could use simple color switch to recreate these.

This looks absolutely amazing!! I wonder, are there any plans for potential landing gear leveling mechanism for the LM, as seen in the SheLab report? I understand if that is too complex however, just a interesting thought.

It's definitely not a perfect replica, but if anyone can guess what this is, then I'm not terrible at this.

That looked a lot like an Apollo capsule to be, but then I saw the Gemini window just to the left of the cutoff.

So Big G would have had a completely new capsule design making it more conical like Apollo instead of that tubed cone design?
