Im Back! (After a year and a half)

Greetings, esteemed members of the Juno community,

With immense pleasure and a profound sense of gratitude, I hereby announce my triumphant return to the forefront of our collective spacefaring endeavors. After a considerable hiatus, punctuated by scholarly pursuits and personal obligations, I stand before you today to unveil my latest magnum opus—a breathtaking spacecraft that currently stands at an astounding 90% completion!

Firstly, I must express my utmost appreciation for your unwavering patience and steadfast support throughout this arduous voyage. I assure you, my esteemed peers, that your forbearance shall be richly rewarded, for the fruits of my labor shall exceed even the loftiest of expectations.

Now, let us delve into the particulars of this remarkable creation. Crafted over the course of an extensive 3-month period (worked with it progressively through a year and a half) , this interstellar vessel represents the epitome of scientific ingenuity and meticulous engineering. Its magnificence, however, extends beyond the confines of a solitary rocket—it encompasses the entire edifice of NASA's Launch Pad 14, comprising an impressive array of approximately 4,300 intricately interwoven components.

Allow me to emphasize that this endeavor transcends the realm of ordinary engineering and ventures into the realm of historical space exploration. Among the myriad versions of this awe-inspiring craft, one stands out in particular—an embodiment of precision and authenticity. Through the ingenious utilization of the in-game tool known as "Vizzy," I have meticulously programmed this version to emulate the flight of the legendary John Glenn, faithfully reproducing every minute detail of his pioneering expedition.

Currently, this is the only thing that is left on working on and that prevents me from publishing it.

I implore you to remain attuned to forthcoming updates, as I apply the finishing touches to this masterpiece. Your support and camaraderie are indispensable, and it is with the utmost reverence that I thank you for gracing this expedition with your presence. Steel yourselves, dear comrades, for a launch of unparalleled grandeur looms on the horizon!

With boundless ambition and a profound sense of purpose,

RetroRockets
