The complete(ish) history of rockets! Recreating the entire space race in KSP!

[Mulbin]

Next up will be quite a time consuming build... will be creating the Thor Agena with Discoverer Satellite.

Good luck with voyager '_'

Brilliant thread

[KatzOhki]

I really like the way you build those launch towers! Ever consider making a tutorial on them?

[Nephf]

Will there also be a Skylab? I mean-you already have a Saturn 5!

[NathanKell]

Corona here we come!

As it happens, the Mk16 actually looks pretty close to the cone-end of the Mk2 RV film bucket...

[Nephf]

Good Luck with the replica of the N-1

Interplanetary Launchpads (so I can launch larger ships from my Soviet site).

Why don't you do it like that?

[Mulbin]

Why don't you do it like that?

because the site is half way around the planet, over a sea!

[AtleSt]

i wished somone to do this, because i didnt make it my selv, and i wanted to se what somone other could do.

anyways love the details on the ships!

and it is a super cool thread!

Problems have been spotted!

Project Echo was essentially a satellite that was a big shiny balloon...and since KSP doesn't have balloons, that seems quite difficult if not impossible to build. I know it was launched next year time-wise, but...

[Mulbin]

I've already skipped many, many balloons. The Deacon Rockoon for example was an important early rocked that was launched from a balloon. But as you say, it cant be done stock!

[Lazro]

Ah. Okay then. But maybe you could make note of it and put a representative probe up there for the end of the year picture? I think it was the first satellite ever to relay a message of any sort, so having even a fake up there would be amazing

SCORE was the first satellite to relay a message. Echo was the first that allowed two way communication. I have the correct launch vehicles already build (Atlas D for Echo 1, Thor Agena for Echo 2), the tricky bit would be to get it to inflate once in orbit! I'll do some more research when I get to 1960

[Lazro]

It was the first to relay a message, broadcast from Earth. Sorry for the confusion.

Guys, just be patient. Mulbin has a life, and we can wait extra time. This is his project, and we should just be grateful he shares it with us. It will be ready when it's ready.

Mulbin, I noticed that a "guide" (more like a RP) on Steam is using your banner. Link to it here. I've asked them about it twice but they seem to be deleting my comments.

[Akinesis]

They've used more than his banner - there's a few of his screenshots of Soviet rockets in use, too!

Thanks for the heads up, I've filed a copyright infringement notice.

It's been removed already! Fast work

[Mulbin]

Yes... a shame they didnt just ask me. I probably would have made them a banner, they hopefully wont just steal peoples work in future!

[Lazro]

Sorry if I was pressuring you, I'm sure you would have know even without me telling you. I feel a bit bad now.

On the bright side, it's good to hear justice has been had!

Love the work, are you planning to continue on .21, or move your stuff over to .22? Good luck with the future launches. Additionally, can you share any tips, or point me in the right direction of any tips concerning launch tower construction? I find that the most impressive thing amongst your impressive launches, and wouldn't mind learning more about your methods.

Edit: Additionally, it looks like all of my past posts were eaten by a Kraken sometime. Explains why I couldn't find my old Mission Reports thread Oh well, good luck with yours, might have to open my own one sometime.

I'll be picking up again on .22 fairly soon, been too busy with real life. And of course playing career mode!

Sounds great! Any idea where there is any info on launch tower construction? I'm honestly curious, I am not a fan of the default launch clamps. Hope things in real life are good, I know the feeling (had a sister get married over the weekend, and a bunch of work commitments, haven't had a ton of time myself) and hope that you've enjoyed career mode.

The best way to learn about the towers is to pick my designs apart in your VAB. Some towers are attached to the red launch clamps, some are attached to the base of the rocket.
