Further Than We've Ever Been

Just a little story I've been working on for a bit. I'm using the RSS mod with the 6.4 config, and other mods. It's a odyssey through space, with interplanetary missions, and science galore.

Space Roadmap

1.1 - Design and build 'Ares' launch vehicle series for 1.0t to 20.0t payloads.

> 1.2 - Design and build manned spacecraft for exploration and crewed missions.

2.1 - Launch munar science rover to explore the surface of the Mun, and scout out for manned munar missions.

> 2.2 - Launch munar comms network to ensure complete comms coverage of the surface of the Mun.

> 2.3 - Launch manned mission to LMO.

3.1 - Explore Minmus and establish a simple comms relay network.

> 3.2 - Send an unmanned lander to Minmus

4.1 - Reach further afield, to Duna and beyond.

Since budget cuts had taken full effect after the largest depression Kerbin had ever seen, missions to space had been few and far between. The main missions nowadays were Low Kerbin Orbit missions, making scientific breakthroughs but not receiving much publicity. Satellite launches paid for by large corporations and using KSC’s launch vehicles were still launching every six or seven months, and drew in some small income for the space programme’s aviation and engineering division.

But Kerbin’s economy was emerging out of the ashes of the depression and was looking to be the strongest it had ever been. Because of this, the government had decided to increase the space program’s budget, but told them they had to see some results, in order to boost the morale of the population. Missions to the Mun were planned and interplanetary missions to Duna and the Jovian moons were proposed. Things were looking up, and it was decided that the space programmes first port of call was to design new launch vehicles and manned spacecraft. The new series of launch vehicles were to be christened the ‘Ares’ vehicles.

The first launch of an Ares 01 rocket was planned to send up a communications satellite to keep the Mun in contact. It was decided it should be put in an orbit with a period of one day and three hours. This would make sure it was in contact at all times.

As hoped, the mission was a complete success, the new satellite would prove invaluable to the Munar exploration program. It also proved hugely popular with the public, and worked as a major PR boost for the space program.

The images dont work for me :/

The images dont work for me :/

Nor me, they're white squares. Where are you uploading your images from?

[Captain_Party]

I'm uploading from Google Drive. It's very weird they're showing up fine for me... I've tried messing about with the links and stuff but it won't work, can anyone help?
