Space program Diary

[Nathaniel411]

I've been thinking of posting my space program on the forums for feedback. It's been a while since I last played (I last played v0.90) so excuse my inefficiency. There's no real proper 'goal', although I guess making bases and space stations on most bodies would be nice.

DAY 1

I don't have many screenshots in this one, since I didn't think of making something like this when I did this.

I thought of making a neat little space station around Kerbin as a refresher, but then I realized I messed up as I used the inflatable airlocks by themselves and had no way to dock. Now the situation was that the original three was stuck on a broken station and Valentina and a few scientists were stuck on a unusable module. I decided to launch a rescue probe with a arm to pull the station out of orbit. Things went okay, until I tried to decouple the inflatable heat shield, for some reason it kept smacking the ship and destroying it. A few retries later and I got away with only the probe core destroyed, which was fine since the cockpit can somehow control the rescue craft through a arm. Anyway, the landing went well (nothing exploded atleast) and the original three was fine

 

What do you think? The next mission I'll try is to go to Duna, which is a bad idea considering I'm still trying to get better with manuever nodes, but eh.

That's only good, nobody wants to watch everything go perfect.

Post your failures and overcome them, us readers love that.

Goodluck and try to post daily to gather a fanbase.
