My Stock Crafts

[SNapple]

This will be a hub for all of my Stock ships. So, let's just get to it.

Hell In Space was my first actual craft after 0.16 came out, and I wanted it to have an interesting Enviroment to do orbital EVAs. Being my first craft for 0.16, the actual rocket wasn't very good, as shown in the oversized picture below.

Those are all the pictures for this craft now. Anyway, Back then I had a bad habit of putting the rocket really high up, to make me need to go less distance. Yeah. Also, something notable about this craft is that it is in a very low orbit. Infact, I use it's orbit to tell when my orbit is out of the athnosphere. It used to be at almost spot on 70 kilometers, but the kraken kept reeling it in. so I did a couple orbital burns over the time, but now I have it in a 73 kilometer orbit. Safe from the kraken's grasp.

This craft has a big story to tell. And it begins back in 0.15. I deleted it now, so I have no screenshots of it. That's probably for the best. But anyway, I decided it was time to fulfill a goal I had for too long. It was time to design Voyager 1. It got into a Kerbol orbit, and I expanded the orbit for a while, waiting for the escape trajectory with a huge excitement. The orbit stopped expanding before getting close. Voyager 2 had a much wider orbit, I was very sure that I would make it this time, the apoapsis expanding like crazy, and then stopped short. It was a very big orbit, don't get me wrong, but it was not. Good. Enough. Voyager 3 was the one that made it. I was so happy for it, but then one day I accidently pressed "End Flight" instead of "Space Center". I never re-launched it. Over in 0.16, all that was behind me, and I launched another probe, not using the bigger parts that I didn't understand. It was called Voyager 1 (ADWTH). The ADWTH standing for "A Disaster Waiting To Happen". It blew up on the launchpad. Voyager 2 (ADWTH) was it. my probe to the stars. It used to have jebediah in it, but I got him out to end his flight so he could be in other missions. But this wasn't any old Voyager. I used a clever tactic to reach escape velocity. SRBs. No wonder Jeb was in it.

This is the Polar Lander. It lands on the Poles. Need I say more? I basicly just do some onion staging, just like everything I build, and cancel out the movement I get from Kerbin's spin once I get into the higher athnosphere. I then go suborbital up to the pole, and do a powered landing there. Also, it is so tall it has 2 of the big ladders.
