Idea: Collier's Career Mode

[optimusjamie]

After reading some of the excellent Atomic Rockets website, I've been struck by an idea.

As the title implies, this is a whole new career mode, based on the vision laid out in Collier's Magazine's Man Will Conquer Space Soon! series of articles from the early 50s. The idea was that assembling a space station is the first step, which then becomes a shipyard/staging ground for the exploration of the Moon (or the Mun and Minmus in this case), with interplanetary missions not far behind.

Mods I'll need to make this work:

• Extraplanetary Launchpads
• Contract Configurator
• Part mods - things like the Von Braun Space Ferry, mercury boilers instead of solar panels (at least, at first), this space station, et cetera.

So, yeah, that's everything. I expect I'll be able to start work on this fairly soon, once school and job stuff is out of the way. Feel free to add your own input to this.
