Contract Pack: Historic Progression

[pap1723]

Hello Everybody!

I have been working on creating a new Contract Pack that looks at the Historical Progression of human's journey into space. @Whitecat106 has created an amazing pack of more than 500 historical missions that is the inspiration of this. For me, I love the historical aspect of his missions, but it becomes too tedious to launch the same mission 10 times. I understand that this is how the real world worked, but I want to play the most important missions in human history without having to progress through 10 Explorer missions first. The pack that @Whitecat106 has created is amazing with the amount of time that he put into it. I hope to be able to be even partially as detailed as he is!

This is the list that I have come up with. The list below is organized by date that the mission was launched, and it will work in a progression. Many of the missions have prerequisites of completing the previous mission, but some have prerequisites of just accepting a mission. Many of the missions will branch off to be able to run a couple at the same time, but will eventually come back into the same branch to keep things in order.

Please take a look at the list and let me know if there are any achievements or notable missions that I have missed.
