Mission reports from my own Space Program

[Akinesis]

I never said anything but I am glad that this is back again

You should have said - I might have been back earlier Thanks for your interest!!

Two more posts have been put up. Link is in my sig!

One for the tinfoil-hat lovers. Spoiler alert!!!

DUN DUN DUUN!!!

My paranoid senses tickle... Do those findings relate with the unexplained explosion of the LDV? Maybe we are under menace from a giant cosmic squid!!! WE MUST PREPARE!!!

By the way, I really enjoyed reading this. I like the style so much

Dear Akinesis,

Your reports were a fun read in a great visual and written style. I thoroughly enjoyed them and wish you luck in your future endeavors. That anomalous find on Mun does not appear to be man-made. Very strange.

[Akinesis]

Haha! It was fun writing about some paranoid Kerbals! Thanks for the comments, folks!! The second probe-mission to Eve is up for reading! Sig in the link.

Edit: Yes, the mysterious LDV explosion! In all honesty, I am really not sure what happened there. Nibbled by the Kraken, I think! But the Eve lander has also shut down. I think something is hindering the exploration of my Kerbals!!

But, in actual fact, I upgraded to Remote Tech 2. That caused me a HUGE headache trying to upgrade and re-link all my vehicles. Jeb had never been Hyper-edited so much!! But the Eve lander had served it's purpose, so I thought I'd leave it to rest in peace.

Glad to here you're in business once again, Akinesis. I was wondering where I was going to find my "fix" from once you dropped off the radar

Also, would it be appropriate to say at KSC that "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius"? But seriously, I do like seeing little in-jokes and things like that.

[Akinesis]

Glad I can once again deliver your fix! Luckily with this Aquarius you won't have to wait nearly 30,000 years between events!

I've done a quick summary-post of the Unity missions. Link in the sig!

Looking forwrad to the Munar Program

[Akinesis]

And the Munar program is on the cusp of ignition! I'm just finishing tweaks to the vehicles - I can't seem to stop fiddling with finished vehicles!

In the meantime, my probe reached Duna. Read about it through the link in my sig.

[Specialist290]

I can't seem to stop fiddling with finished vehicles!

You and me both. Sometimes I'll take a look at a design I "finished" weeks ago and think to myself, "Wouldn't it be so much better if I somehow got it to [do this totally unnecessary thing] as well as what I designed it for?" or "Do you think it could still [do this mission] if I added / removed / moved / changed this part for that part?" Then some hours later, I'll realize I haven't actually gotten any flying done

As always, keep up the good work!

[Akinesis]

I am done tweaking! No more!

The Aquarius Project is finally underway! Link is in the sig...

@Specialist290 - the problem is, as well, I finish up and go to bed, but then lay there as another 20 ideas flood my mind. Then the next day I start again! It's so hard to switch off...

[Akinesis]

First manned launch of the new hardware went smoothly! Post is up.

[Akinesis]

They're coming out thick and fast at the moment...

This one is mainly a bit of fun, though: Link

[Akinesis]

Aquarius 8 is up! Link is in the sig...

[Akinesis]

Another post is up. This was actually quite fun for me - especially as it didn't go to plan!!

Link is in the sig...

[Akinesis]

The next post is up. I've just discovered Fasa's launch towers, too. This has been greatly missing from my personal immersion experience!

So, Aquarius X was successful. Although I have done the Aquarius XI mission, I'm moving house this week and won't have internet for a short while. So there will be a slight delay in posting...

[Specialist290]

Best of luck with the move. Hope to see the mission writeup for Aquarius XI soon!

As for the little incident with the Aquarius X: I'm finding that situation a bit too contrived to be believable. Surely something like that would never actually happen here in the real world, right?

[Akinesis]

Are you referring to the short-fuelling or the unexpected altitude loss?

[Specialist290]

The short-fueling, of course. I mean, surely in our world, the administrators would trust the astronauts in question to be professional enough not to pull a silly stunt like that, right?

I kid, of course. As always, I like sly little references to real-world events like that.
