Laythe Colony

[Sufficient Anonymity]

I'm a big fan of the excellent work /u/nyrath has done on the Orion mod (for those not familiar with it, Orion was crazy idea someone in the US military had about powering spacecraft with nuclear bombs). I also wanted to do something a bit different from just putting a lander or small rover on another body, so decided to run an entire space program around sending some colonists to Laythe, with an airship. Originally, the plan was to send a single vessel out there, then potentially fly it back (there's never a shortage of dV with Orion, just the minor issue of vessels being so heavy they are nigh-impossible to turn) to pick up more gear. Eventually, this morphed into developing a small fleet, and flying the whole lot out there in one transfer window.

It looks great especially these orbital crafts. The whole base will be something nice to look at if it is built in this style. By the way - are these four parts placed around the base's core something from B9? I cannot remember what are they...

@M4ck The hab block is centred around one of the SABRE precoolers, with the living quarters etc being made from the S2 crew tanks.
