With the new reusable Duna shuttles, the exploration of the planet has accelerated massively.

A fleet of three shuttles from Kerbin had been launched. 2 drone ships carrying the surface base components, and a third, crewed shuttle rotating a fresh team into the Duna Orbital Station and carrying some ground vehicles.

Before heading down to the surface, the crewed shuttle docked its centrifuge to the station's existing shuttle, which is taking the previous crew back to Kerbin and will serve as their living quarters on their trip.

After refueling in orbit, the landing team touched down with two ground vehicles: a fast scouting rover and a mobile outpost truck. They are currently surveying the area to confirm a flat landing zone. Initial surface readings look great, so the drone ships are officially cleared for descent to the base site!

W.V4L (Two Seater Civilian)

WA.V4L (Two Seater Military)

WA.V4 Bomber

W.V4 (Original)

W.V4 SL12 (Big)

W.V4M3 (SSTO)

W.V4 and W.V4 SL12 can fly without SAS!

The idea was to sprinkle in WW2 fighter design philosophies onto futuristic aircraft design. Sticks jutting out from behind in WA.V4L and WA.V4 Bomber are backward facing cannons lol.

My dad watched one of the first iterations flip upsisde down and crash immediately after takeoff and said sci-fi designs don't work irl and how this design will never fly. This post and people being condescending toward the OP reminded me of that, and then this fleet. I built it during the pandemic but never posted. Thought I'd post.

The Soviet Styled parts look nice but what caught my eye is the sun shield / shade. I'd love to use it on a Moho or Eve mission.

A nuclear-propelled behemoth of a research ship complete with a field laboratory and lander for surface experiments. It might be a bit overkill, but overkill is cool.

I recently started a new save with a rocket design philosophy in mind: "The simplest and easiest way is the best way to do something," and so this is the first lunar probe to land successfully.

The engines are from the Cryogenic Engines mod, and I'm using the "unkerballed" start; I like the progression of their tech tree.

Some of the player types are:

1. The 900 parts guy

2. The obsessed with parts mods

3. The obsessed with visual mods

4. The obsessed with planet mods(RSS, Kcalbeloh...)

5. The gameplay mods psychopath (FAR, Principia...)

6. The modder

7. The stock player (☠️🔥)

8. Any other type of player you know

Took a contract to save Edtop Kerman from low orbit. I obstructed the hatch accidentally with the parachute (these pea pods are so confusing), so I had the genius idea to tether his pod to my rocket and de-orbit it with a gentle burn. Then I would either parachute both of us or use his personal chute if necessary.

Well, I accidentally hit max throttle after I had already gotten a good re-entry and I guess that broke the tether. I urgently tried to rendezvous again and got Edtop out of the pod to connect to Valentina's.

...Then they both hit the upper atmosphere and started tumbling, and Edtop was attached to his pod (which I was trying to reel in) being swung in circles faster and faster until he went unconscious and burnt to death during re-entry. At least he wasn't awake to experience it.

Honestly I was so pissed off during this experience but as soon as Valentina splashed down I started laughing out loud. It was the most absurd death I've ever had in this game. I wish I had a video of it!

So try to do a flyby of the Mun to get some science, i crash into the Mun because my Periapsis showed 2km above SEA LEVEL, which i think is stupid. Then i try to land on the Mun and my rocket falls over, and explodes when i touch the throttle. Then i try to land AGAIN, and i run out of fuel and bearly survive the landing and fall sideways. Then i send a rescue lander take all the science and bearly have enough delta v to reach low Mun orbit, so i have to send a 2nd rescue craft and finaly enter the atmosphere i fire my engine to slow down, BUT I FLIP AND MY MAIN PARACHUTE BURNS UP MY DROGUES CAN'T SLOW ME DOWN ENOUGH I HAVE TO ABANDON THE CAPSULE ALL MY SCIENCE HAS GONE WHO KNOWS WHERE, total failure.

I am cursed

From over 800 images that have been processed, I present the Voyager 2 Encounters simulated in Sol from Ballisticfox.

This video includes both Jupiter and Saturn with the Encounters happening at relatively the correct time in Realism Overhaul.

I performed the correct trajectory using the Titan IIIE Centaur with the Star 37E Kick Motor from BDB.

Midcourse Corrections were made with the tiny Hydrazine thrusters that the probe has, also courtesy of US_Probes mod.

I present to you my very first Luna landing :]

After many hours of learning orbital mechanics (rather than learning for university) and two rover missions to Duna, and three rover missions to the Mun, I finally decided to attempt my first crewed Luna mission. And somehow, it went flawlessly on the very first try!

Other than that complication, Shitef*ck Mk. 8 was largely successful
after the first screenshot, the rest are in chronological order
