Generations Earlier: A Steamy Story [IMAGE HEAVY]

[Whirligig Girl]

Bill, Jeb, and Bob sat at the lunch table at the Astronaut Complex.

"It's quite amazing what we've accomplished in these past few years." Bill said, setting his lunch down and stirring his soup.

"Yeah." Bob replied, an enthusiastic smile on his face.

Jeb rose his finger. "You know we've got only a week until the Launch of the Jool mission. Amazing."

"It's hard to believe that Kerbin only got into space a few years ago." Gene said, as he sat down.

Wernher approached, sat down, and waved at his friends. "Vhat are ve talking about?" He asked.

"We just got offworld first a couple years ago." Gene repeated.

"Oh, no! Ve didn't." Wernher said. The other kerbals all stared at him.

Wernher started to tell a story.

You see, my grandfather vas in ze military as an engineer. Every few veeks he'd save some of ze gunpowder from ze shipments of Bullets. He vanted to prove zat ve veren't just limited to ze sky, like all the airplane engineers had always thought. He put together all of ze collection of gunpowder he could together and encased it in a long barrel. He ignited it and it flew up into ze sky. His name vas Professor Phineas Kerbenstein. Vernher pulled out a notebook.

Phineas zen got funding from military to continue his research. He eventually built ze first Raumfahrzeug. He called it ze Orbitification Device. Ze test vas actually too successful.

Phineas vas very very excited to hear zat Jeb vas not only alive, but he had vent all ze vay to ze Mun. Ze military gave him enough leftover scraps and boilers and dead whales to pull off a Mun landing!

"Wait, Dead Whales?" Bob asked.

Vell, zey didn't have any liquified Hydrogen or Oxygen yet, so zey used WhaleOil and NitrousOxide.

Wernher's pager beeped.

Vell, I'm need in ze VAB. I'll tell you ze rest of ze story later.
