[RSS] ISP: Ijkslander Space Program

[soundnfury]

I've been documenting my current RSS/RO/RP-0 game, and making mission patches and stuff.  It's fairly dry and technical (I keep the kerbal humour for non-RSS play!  Mostly.) and doesn't have nearly enough screenshots, but might be interesting.  Find it here, on my website.

Why Ijkslander?

I don't have any personal connection to Iceland, but I think Icelanders (and especially saga-period Viking Icelanders) are pretty cool. So when I was choosing a flag for my new KSP game, and I spotted Ijksland in the 'Kerbalized Flagpack', I decided my Kerbals Earthlings would be Vikings... In... Space.

The fact that 'Ijkslander Space Program' abbreviates to I_sp is just a serendipitous bonus.

Why document all this?

It's basically so I have an excuse to make mission patches.

Now updated with Venera 2 landing, Mars '61 en route and Pioneer X visits Jupiter and Io.

The more recent missions have plenty of screenshots, but not enough mission patches.  Hopefully artistic inspiration will strike again soon.

Updated again; Pioneer X bows out with a Europa flyby, Mars '61 landings on Phobos and Deimos, and the Bifrost Program gets underway.  (Thanks to @stratochief66 for explaining how to mount the LM inside the SLA.)

Oooh, I missed this. Now I get to see Bifrost!

Ah, wait, no, I did see this before. Just haven't been keeping up. Lots to read!
