I am presenting you the next generation of manned launchers, The ATLAS:  that would be what it would look like carrying the scorpius capsule.

For those of you whose Kerbal had a role in the now-defunct Apollo Missions Recreation project:

When I get the entire ribbon pack set up for the RSP, this will be one of the goodies available. The question that I have is would you want me to make the pack CKAN-able or as a straight download? So we do not waste forum/thread space, just send me a message... Thanks!

@the_pazter: The graphic you have requested already exists and can be found here:

Ok wish you all the best for the launch. Can't be online for reasons though...too bad...

[Dman979]

Things are very tense here at mission control! We need to abort the mission, because the second stage engine fired for too long. All our best minds are working on this!

Thanks for the payload, Moose! I have to tell you, it's highly unlikely that we'll be able to get anything to Mars in that timeframe. I'm sorry, but the planets aren't aligned.

Just cheat using time warp.

An update:

After a quick test, our pilot managed to successfully deorbit the capsule and reenter the atmosphere.  That section of the mission was recorded and is here:

There will be a press conference on May 10th at 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on the RSP Twitch channel.  Relevant questions will be answered from chat.

So @CliftonM is the PAO, do you have a Press person? I would be more than willing to write statements after aborts/launches, etc. If that's something you guys want...
