Mission Report Records

[Iforgotthis]

I have decided after a long time to post my mission reports on the forums. This is more for safety than anything else.

This thread will also contain images captured by on board cameras, so it may become image heavy over time.

Heads up: they won't be stories. They aren't really for enjoyment (although I enjoy writing them), they are more records so I can keep a closer track of every mission. I don't fully know the reason for them, really its just to keep a record that the missions happened, what happened, when it happened, and eventually if the mission was successful or a failure.

These aren't intended for anyone really; I just write them. You can take a look through them if you like, but they won't be thrilling stories of exciting adventures, and they won't have thrilling language. They're literally just records.

After a small incident involving Jeb, a squid, a fax machine, and several small drills, a set of early mission reports have been lost. For the sake of safety, I will henceforth be posting them here.

Here's a brief update on what's already going on:

keeping mission reports are a good practice, to review the achieves that own, i simulate crews too and his availability, i research in my own designs too and keeping records of past mission are helpful to know what happened. not only that, i write reports of launch performance, reentry performance, hardware performance, Crew ranks and other things (Y) keeping them in notepad.

For some strange reason when some fails all got dramatic and interesting a lot.

Some not routine missions got more interesting like research own technology/experience missions because all is new and have more posibilites to fail.

here is one of my lasts mission report >>>
