Historic Space Flight Series

[Redjoker]

I am thinking about making a series of youtube videos recreating historic space flights with a twist. I would meet some requirements set out by the original but the design will probably be different. I know there are some series that do this but most of them only focus on the NASA missions and not the equally important soviet missions or the V2 rocket. I am looking for some ideas on what flights and their requirements. I will not be doing some like first communications satellite because it is too similar with only what ksp has or the first animal in space because Ksp can't model fruit flies. Please note this list will only include up to Luna 9 for now to keep it short.

v2 rocket- first in space- requirements- 88km, single stage

sputnik- first in orbit- requirements- aposis of 939km and perapsis of 215km- may scale down due to earth being ten times smaller than kerbin

22 days of power, two stage with second stage able to eject satellite

luna 1-first to leave earth orbit, reach vicinity of the moon and heliocentric orbit

luna 2- first lunar impact/ crash landing

vostok 1- first manned flight

venera 1- first planetary fly by/ Venus

x-15 first reusable craft in space- may or may not do

voskhod 2- first eva

mariner 4- mars fly by

Gemini 6a/7- first orbital rendevous but no dock

luna 9- first soft landing
