The Kerbin Mission - Commander Zeta

[Cdr_Zeta]

KSC Offices:

Bill: I see we are on track?

Zeta: Yes - We must test out a jet engine and hopefully we get more contracts afterwards; otherwise it may be problematic...There will be enough Science to research more Science gathering equipment then we can repeat several short missions on Kerbin; after which we will have enough Science to learn Heavy Rocketry.

Bill: Good...I hope !

KSC Offices:

Bill: So hows the Science research goin ... ?

Zeta: It was shaky for awhile...we had some problems with the RT-10's and nearly lost it and a Kerbalnaut; subsequent addition of an inline reaction wheel seems to have solved the problem and we were actually able to make orbit; attained twice so far. Science and contracts look hopeful so far and we press on this mornin ...

KSC Offices:

Bill: So...how goes the ...

Zeta: Fine fine ...we are running out of contracts...tell the boys on the board to belly up and ...

Bill: Yes yes we have had some dificulties ...

Zeta: Okay glad you are aware - give them environmentalists some tours or somethin .. we need CONTRACTS !

Currently we have new Science to discover ...

KSC Offices:

A report is out that a few Kerbalnauts used the launch facilities for unauthorized launches - thusly the need to be rescued...we are preparing...for this and future events such as this.

KSC Offices:

It seems as the monitering computers had seveeral glitches last nite...we hope to have solved the problem; computer memory issues seems to have mysteriously vanished but may reappear when least expected so we will watch that too.

There are TWR problems in the current designs of our lifters; we dont know how to fix them...yet...we are looking at a 3-2-1 liftoff option but are still kinda clueless; which makes it fun and challenging I guess...we hope that is.

There is a Kerbal lost in orbit...

Greetings From KSC:

We are scheduling a Kerbal rescue this morning and have made changes to our Science nodes for more current technology needs.

KSC Office Memos:

Bill: We have had problems in test; the mainsail engine is failing test any ideas?

Zeta: Well try the 'run test' option; maybe add it to the procedure?

Bill: Maybe; not sure if it fits. Also one staging test failed; not sure what is going on with it. Let's just get these bird to Mun today.

Zeta: Ya; I hear that ...

KSC Office Memo:

Jeb: It seems as tho we had a computer malfunction last nite - A Mun landing was actually a simulation and Cmdr Zeta was totally unawares - we were testing him - and he surely passed the test - we hope.

The seeming demise of Commander Edlas was not real...the computer has since been fixed.

Zeta: Yes I detected anamolies I felt so bad. Something is wrong in the guidance system is that true?

Jeb: Not sure but I will have it looked into. Good Luck dont mess it up we have important Kerbals on the life line here...

Zeta: Ugh ...

KSC Memo:

Bill: Contracts are pending ...

KSC Offices Memo:

Bill: So Commander are we on track ... ?

Zeta: Yes - Our software is incurring changes on the fly tonite - We are expecting a Minar mission tonite to send fuel to a Science ship out there and had a successful docking today.

Bill: Okies keep up the good work ...

Greetings From KSC Offices,

Bob Kerman Reporting In For Jeb; poor Jeb got a cold ...

All is going well altho we had to respec all of our missions and get our Space Pilots safely back to Kerbin.

There were some contractual and financial changes made to our Space Program here and we are in the process of finalizing new contracts for a new startup venture to go back to Mun and beyond.

We have learned many things - how to rendesvouz with asteroids was a big plus for us. We heard the engineers back on planet Earth had a major success landing Philae on an asteroid...when commenting this to Jeb he replied...

"...yes I heard a report on my radio here - how on Earth did they manage to cook fish on an asteroid is just beyond my comprehension...where is the science in that...?"

Poor Jeb...ah well...the new program will be readding various Modules already researched, and keep the Science Tree in tact as much as possible altho it may take a few days to sort it all out again; we got the top brass on it - top brass.

Jeb: When can we expect simulation runs Bob?

Bob: We dont have a timeline sir but as soon as we are ready we hope to be up and running within the next few days.

Jeb: Ah great ! Did you look at the Interstellar Ship plans? I dont like those large foldable circular arrays - they are too unwieldly, too expensive, and look ugly ! We need to work on thermal propulsion systems and energy regeneration techniques.

Bob: Yes we have the RTG on the drawing board and are revamping the nuclear ...

Jeb: Dont worry too much about Nuclear ... but its nice to have it and not need it. I think thermal is a solution as well as H and O production; lets hope the plant scientists got their stuff together ...

Bob: We can go for a tentative live stream simulation runs during the evening hours when the general populace has gone home...ya know in case of any explosions to keep the collateral damage to spec minimums...

Greetings From The KSC:

The KSC offices proudly announce the deployment phases of 'REAL MISSION' acquisition.

There will be a live broadcast of the event ...

Contractors are lining up in droves upon hearing the discovery of various asteroids which may hold kerpous amounts of rare metals; and water !

There will be some computer simulations during the process those will be announced during the stream.

Mission status should get the 'Green Light' later tonite !
