The Space Program With No Name (updated Jan 12, 2019)


SBKerman

Recommended Posts

To satisfy their unceasing desire to launch themselves into the void of space on top questionable rockets, the kerbals rushed to form a space program. But in their haste to get started on this great endeavour, they forgot* to give it a name. Thus, it became known only as "the space program".

 *) I was too lazy to come up with one.

 

===================================================================================================

 

This is a career I started in KSP 1.3.1 (later updated to 1.4.5) about a month ago, and that I thought I'd share here. I'm using a heap of mods (list in the spoiler below), with MKS and USI-LS being two of the main ones. It's my first time using these in a career playthrough. I'm not sure to what extent I'll use the kolonization parts, but life support will play a big role. Running out of supplies will lead to death, and death is permanent. I'm also sticking somewhat rigidly to the rule of no reloads. The presentation style will most likely be short descriptions of events, accompanied by lots of pictures, 'cause who doesn't like pictures. :)

Hope you enjoy!

I've added a flight log to the first post. It lists all missions (excluding science farming around the KSC and such) in chronological order.

Also, I've decided to try and post updates regularly every tuesday and friday. Hopefully my work schedule, and my motivation, will allow that.
