Spacecraft Fridays - 06/05/2016 - The It's Still Friday In Alaska edition.

[DMSP]

Who are you to decide this, I hear you asking, and here's the answer: No one. I am not official in any way, shape, or form. If you're unhappy with my decision, we can work something out. This is just my opinion, since there's no objective way to judge "Quality" of crafts.

If anyone feels that their craft is missed because of any kind of time-zone difference, or any kind of difference in when spacecraft fridays is put up, tell me.

If your craft is really good and was made before, and someone posts in it within that week, then it will be considered. Just to clarify, I am not encouraging necros for the sake of bumping your craft.

 

Hi! DMSP here. This is my first time doing this and I am a bit excited too! I had a bit of trouble finding crafts, but this is what I have come up with. Sorry that the descriptions aren't that good but I do think the pictures explain themselves. Make sure to give Rep to the creators too! Enjoy!

 

Today I think it would be a good idea to start with "Build a Kerbal Scaled ISS". Space Stations aren't in huge quantities here on the Spacecraft Exchange, usually just an odd post or a craft showcase. But this is really something incredible. @selfish_meme seems to have started it, but @sgt_flyer is apparently running the show. They have the station, a Proton Rocket, a Soyuz, and a lot more too! Check it out!

 

Next, I want to show a thread that is very awesome. As you probably know, @Matt Lowne is a popular YouTuber who makes SSTOs and Conventional Rockets in great style. And these rockets and SSTOs go to great places. His YouTube Channel is here, and I wanted to share some of his awesome stuff:

 

Ok! Now for something a little less conventional (trust me, this will probably not get you to space ), but still incredible! @pTrevTrevs's Trebuchet! It can fling stuff far (a Stayputnik for 200 Meters or more). Think of all the stuff you could throw! It needs KAS to work, but why don't we just check it out:

 

At K.N.S fleet ship yards, @kapteenipirk has been doing some brilliant work with ships! He's made a cruiser, a hovercraft, even aircraft to back up the fleet! These craft really are amazing, and I bet all of us can't wait to see what else he puts out!

 

Then, we have Fairly Reliable Rockets from @PointySideUp! They seem to be really well designed, and boy, those little speeders do fly! My personal favorites are the Science Smasher and BZT Speeder, shown below:

 

I think I'm going to finish up on this one, the KOROLEV Base by @Ursu Mare really caught my eye. As I said with stations, good and fun bases are quite challenging to find, so when something like this wonderful modular base comes around I am always excited:

 

So guys and girls, this is all I have put together this week, and I want to thank all the creators for making these wonderful craft. I'm probably not going to be doing the Spacecraft Fridays for a while, so DMSP Out!

Truthfully @sgt_flyer is responsible for most of it, he is the brains.

Good picks there are some interesting craft here

Alright, I'll add that in. Thanks for telling me.

@selfish_meme @DMSP

thanks  still, a huge chunk of what we made has been feasible because both of us worked together on it  without the balances, notably on the shuttle, this would not have reached this level

Thanks for another great SCF/FIA DMSP!

 And an excellent array of craft too. Well done to all chosen, especially @selfish_meme and @sgt_flyer for their excellent ISS and service craft!

FIA can stand for Friday in Australia. It's nighttime Saturday, unfortunately.

Sorry about that. IRL Problems, overworked this week.

It could yes. In this case the meaning is clear though.

Thanks for the mention and congrats to every one else here.

Nicely done for this SCF @DMSP and we get to see it before Alaska! 

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

I don't have quite enough time to put this on the home base right now.  Thanks for doing this, nice picks!

[PointySideUp]

Thank you for the mention, some very inspiring craft here!
