New Seattle - Circular Space Station, 302 Crew, Fully Docked Together!

[Jimbimbibble]

Built in 26 launches, this station has a mass of 301,000kg, with 320 parts and a crew capacity of 302. It rotates at 35deg/s to simulate sea level gravity (using the Persistent Rotation mod to keep the station pointed at the Sun and rotating through timewarp). All the docking ports are actually connected! Call it luck or skill, but somehow I managed to align everything and make this work. Enjoy!

Nice!

If anything happens to your Kerbin, you have an Ark.

Very cool, does it have rainbow painted crosswalks too?

[Jimbimbibble]

Lol, no crosswalks, but I spent over 100,000 funds to have the docking ports spray painted by union workers.

Hmm...Wait, was this in career mode?! Also, although I can't view the imgur pics on my school computer, I can imagine how it looks, and it looks awesome. In my imagination...

[CatastrophicFailure]

I can assure you, awesome it indeed is.

This was in sandbox. Turns out, it's hard to fly up 302 kerbals when they start costing 10 Million a piece!

[Generalstarwars333]

Hmmmm... have you tried to shuttle them up in smaller groups...

I don't think Jimbimbibble was talking about the cost of sending up 302 kerbals. Although 302 at one time would be pretty expensive, I believe he is talking about the fact that each additional kerbal you add to your space program costs more to hire in the astronaut complex. In my career mode, I think I've got around 12 or 15 kerbals, and the next one would cost me ~1 Million just to have available for use.

Or. I thought he meant tourists...just take a bunch of tourist contracts and stuff. then they can be on the space station and could go ot craft that are docked with the station to go to places like duna or laythe or wherever and come back.

There is a human colony in the book(s) The human division by john scalzi called 'new Seattle' that gets brutally destroyed by a race called the Bula.
