The Tsar Bomba pilot suit looks great! Oh and cool that you have a Orion powered Craft.

Did you get the suit from the one way spaceman concept?

It's one of Litton Industries "hard suits". They made several versions over the years.

specifically the "RX-2 Extra-vehicular Activity Spacesuit" .

Krupp Kerman: Founder of Ballistic Launch Services. Krupp was a firm believer that with enough cordite he could put anything into space. Although the company he founded never guaranteed it would get there in one piece.

Mun Kannon: Krupp did make an attempt to launch numerous payloads to the Mun with one of his larger cannons.

His attempts where describe by observers of that era as "ambitious", "very loud" and "W@%&*# was that!"

Not only did it not reach the Mun, it was also unable to reach orbit, leading some to point out it was better at reducing the number of Kerbin's cities even further.

As a result Krupp was forced to take the Mun Kannon out of service by numerous former home owners.

Many years later it was very briefly taken out of storage as the Improved Atomic Mun Kannon. The exact details of how it preformed are sketchy as very little documentation seems to have survived.

Kaputnik the spider monkey: Krupp also attempted to send the first creature to voluntarily intentionally go into space.

This brief experiment may have been partially successful, but it has never been confirmed. Kaputnik was buried where she was found and a small monument built in her honor at all twelve locations.
