So... which one is the right one?

@legoclone09 how soon will the manned flight hardware (we must have a program, capsule, and rocket name this time) be ready?  No rush, but we should schedule maybe a week between finalizing the design and liftoff.

I'll try to have it by tonight for me (Pacific Standard), but my RO install broke so I have to reinstall. It definitely will be done by this Sunday, though.

[Dman979]

Ok. Once we have that I'll mate it to a booster for prelaunch calculations and checks.

My only issue with those ideas is the docking one. DMP does not do well with two controlled crafts in proximity, they jitter and spaz out erratically making docking impossible UNLESS one remains uncontrolled.

Aside from that all missions are doable if not already discussed  . Thanks for the ideas though!

Why not launch one, or use hyperedit to put a Kerbaled (manned) orbital vehicle into orbit around 85k to 125k, then just have the other vehicle controlled...as you suggest here. This would be a great mission, in my opinion... Very challenging as well...

I will have a graphic for the Kerbaled mission we're planning. Just for giggles and grins, @ZooNamedGames, what's the name of the Kerbal you are planning to use? This is important for the mission patch design.

On the other project, started working on it...

@adsii1970 I think your numbers are off... 150k to 250 k?

Issue is one manned capsule would be put into coma for the duration. A Gemini 6A and 7 is not possible without flip flopping control or having one player leaving control of the craft.

Let's focus on our manned launch and our sooner unmanned mission first. Then we can focus on that.

Oh my, that's right - this stuff isn't happening around Kerbin, but in the real solar system.

Can I use ZooNamed Kerman?

[Dman979]

Well, you're the Bossman. But Booster is GO for Zoonamed Kerman.

Sure, I just needed to know something. Going to incorporate the name into the patch design. I think it's only fitting. SO, this is in RSS, right?

Yes. In RSS.

Also, I just asked @KasperVld if we could be the subject of a KSPTV session. We'll see what he says.

How does Project Scorpius sound?  ZNG gets to name the capsule.

Since this is one manned, and very much Mercury in style, let's name her Independence 7.

Could I pull your attention to this thread where I'm making a Mir replica, please your comments are helpful.

I'll add him to the server.

Added.

You don't need to be a control freak or anything.

I have a little repository of the mission highlights.

Please calm down.  I'm not taking sides, but you do appear to be the one with the original control intent.  Now, please keep things civil, so we can keep doing missions.  I don't completely agree with ZooNamedGames, but it's starting to get out go hand.

My RSS install is fine now, I'm developing the capsule and a small (300 m/s Dv) service module, just in case we want to do a docking sometime and we have one already designed.

Make sure to use redundant retrothrusters for reentry.
