Project Bruce

[kerbinorbiter]

day 1, KTC

"Upon this planet, stands a few scientists they turned to me and asked, could we be allowed a space program? I replied yes, ill make the announcement tomorrown, so here is this announcement of our 3 space projects, Mercandis which will bring the first satilites into orbit around this planet, Kerbinica to bring our aspiring kerbonaughts to space and back again and finaly Bertha to explore what long duration spaceflight does to Kerbals" this was the words of the administrator of the program. Ambishious at first as we only knew how to fly planes but achievable we had no kerbonauts they needed trained. We had nothing not even a rocket. 

 

after 3 days a design had been finalised for an aircraft, that would in principle bring kerbanauts  into the atmosphere and drop them in the ocean for survival training off the cost of the second closest continent to the space centre. The eight aspiring kerbonauts were Bruce, Chris, Jebediah, Gerdos, Joeger, Eleishia, Evilina and Valentina Kerman they were to fly up on a mallard plane inside the Kerbury capsule and be droped to see if they could focus under pressure only allowed to pull the chutes if they found the cosine of 7 with a calculator or if they got below 1500m, before the Kamarea was invented the crew had completed all their training to go into space on the Kerbury Capsule however it still needed constructed so they started work and after 200 days the rocket and capsule was completed.   

However there was a lot of problems to be solved before the crew could go into space first was the controls and the autopilot they assembled a team of kerbin's best Computer Scientists, Engineers and Programmers to program the guidance system for the rocket, the kerbals also required some safety testing to be done before they launched a real kerbal meanwhile the launch pad was constructed, this was the final peice before liftoff in around T- 200 days 

day 400, KTC

today the launch pad was constructed, only 2 days until the first launch ever. A Kredstone rocket, to take the Kurbury Capsule into a suborbital trajectory and then separate from the launcher.

also tomorrow we will get the flight roster for the Kerbury missions there will be eight of them in total, 3 suborbital missions and 5 orbital missions this was all planned to be done in 3 years as two capsules had allready been produced by the engineering cooperation of the space program.

Hehehe, I thought some of my training programs were tough

I think I used to date her.....

Anyway, good luck with your launches.  I hope all goes well.

day 404 KTC.

After the first sucsesful test of the Kerbury capsule they decided to attempt launching Joeger into a Suborbital trajectory in 25 days... so the chase was on to get the first launch of a kerbal into space before the 25 day window had cycled

Year 2 day 1 

1 year after the papers had been signed it was time for Joeger to step into the history books the atmosphere that day was hysterical. 

Joeger delivered his last words before famosity: "I stand upon this rocket a normal kerbal when i leave the capsule in the water i will be a superstar yet i wish to remain in the same accomidation as regular kerbals".

he clambered into the Kerbury capsule at t-2 hours before lift off the race began the mission controll team went through all checks before T- 1 hour and then came the most panful time of all. the wait. 

"IGNITION" Joeger reported then mission control acknolaged and confirmed.

at liftoff joeger said this: "I am in a new league, space".

the engine cut off 2 minutes into the flight he was in space.

"I can see the ocean and space center" Joeger calmly said over the comms

at reentry the mission control team got scared because they didnt know the comms blackout would occor as they had only tested non "sentient" probes that they wouldn't transmit is what i mean by that.

after this the mission control team went wild (like that in Apollo 13 when they survive re-entry)

at 2 minutes past 0 on day 427 Joeger kerman splashed down on kerbin's oceans safe and sound in his Kerbury capsule.

as for the next 2 missions they were bogus completely the 4th mission was more signifigant than this

day 600 KTC

today Kerbury 4 lifted off from pad 1 

after 6 minutes the craft was on orbit Eleishia started to do experiments like eating, drinking observing and otherthings after 4 hours she was lifted out of the capsule, exausted after her mission, the KSC will plan its next set before year 2 comes to a close...

rumor has it that they will begin long pressence in orbit or go to the Mun we dont know

on day 750 Kerbury 8 had landed in the ocean completing our first program.

only 100 days before the years end. 

as is tradition, for the KSC the next adminstrator was assigned, the name was Felipe Kerman he was to change the history by on his first day comeing out with this objective: land on the moon within 3 years. 

it was to be a challenge however we still thought that it was possable as we didnt think the orbit goal was possable, the designers had to design a new type of spacecraft to go to the moon, as the current rocket couldnt get us there what was created was the first itteration of Kerbollo a 3 kerbal spacecraft designed to go to the moon and back yet however the guidance system would take 1 and a half years the rocket building would take 5 years so they hired more engineers and programmers cutting that time to 1 year each and half a year for Kerbollo Block 1 (a non munar version)

after 1 year the systems were done and they decieded to use Block 1 also the kamarea was invented so pictures can be taken!!!

year 3 day 202.

Today the KSC got a big shock, the tracking station revealed earlier today that they had spotted a mysterious craft in Low Kerbin Orbit with an altitude of around 99-81 Km it is around 10 meters long and 2.5 meters in diameter scientists beleve that this is a message "go to the moon, or we will go first" we dont really know all we know is it seems to have came from a northenly launch site most likey near the location of "dull spot" as it came over on what seemed to be its first orbit after 5 days the craft wasnt seen again and is prosumed to have landed somewere near the north pole. less than 1 orbit of the new station we launched today they launched that and we dont know why and how they did it all the KSC knows is what has been told right here, right now in this reference frame.

yet however on day 207 of year 3 the first crew to the station went up on a blok 1 service module but without the block 1 rocket. we needed to wait 1 year for the block 2 rocket which was now a priority

after 30 days in space the longest ever mission was cuncluded with a tricky landing for the recovery team but not enough to stop them.

year 4:

the administrator stepped out to do a speak to the engineers who had pioneered the block 2 Kerbollo spacecraft which was to be rolled out tomorrow.

"congratulations, you have done us proud as for the other guys who we beleve has circled the moon for 13 days we congratulate them but it will be us who lands first" as we have the lander, the command module and the crew ready who are as folows: Jebediah, Evilina Kerman and Bruce Kerman. Bruce and Evlilina will step onto the Mun jebediah will allow them to as he wants to keep the command module safe the first mission on the moon will last for 5 days the second 10. Jebediah will have some computer games we assure you but thank you for helping us get to the Mun, we wish our 3 bravest kerbouaughts of the highest standard good luck also our second class of kerbalnaughts has been announced, they are in order: Ellie Kerman, Kerman Kerman, Kate Kerman, Tim Kerman and Isaac Kerman."

he then let the workers prepare the launch pad before he went into the VAB and blessed the rocket to wish it luck on its endevour 

view from the astro-car carring our brave crew to the launch pad also this is the first time the space program used a "Kamara" go figure!
