@StarbornCelestial1 For about 1-2 years after the arrival to Athena, the ISV will serve as a space station and a lifeboat for the unlikely situation of a disaster on the ground.
@StarbornCelestial1 a SINGLE ship that isn’t designed to be in the atmosphere (my ISVs) that use Pheonix SSTOs to transport cargo and people between and to the ISV. The Crew will be launched to the ship and the cargo last. One the ship is loaded up, the SSTOs dock and the ship leaving droo on the way to Athena.
When the ship arrives at Athena after a approximated 5-6 year trip, the SSTOs do exactly what they did before the departure vise-versa.
So I would recommend you start learning how to do satellite rendezvous, because if you are going to send a full on mission to let’s say urados, you need to assemble a ship in orbit with not one, but many rockets. Once you finish that, you can have landers and droods launched to the vehicle and it can service as a mobile space station for your mission.
It’s however a WHOLE new story when sending a manned mission there. It’s almost impossible to send a Apollo-style mission with the whole mission in one rocket. So if you even want to get close (let’s say we wanted to land on boreas or miros) you would need to do a separate launch to have a ascent rocket. But that still would be tough.
Now considering you don’t want to use tinker, I have sent many probes to Tydos with my big rocket. Tydos is kind of the barrier where it starts to get almost impossible to make a good enough rocket to send a probe to Urados.
I have send probes to Urados very few times. I did this by aero breaking, but if I haven’t used aerobreaking I would have never got that probe there. Which I realized that was close to the barrier of vanilla capability.
@StarbornCelestial1 The beginning of the loading of ISV Genisis continues to be held up. If you could just register your personnel, we can start the loading up with the Phoenix spacecrafts.
But if you want me to wait, we can do that. Waiting gave us time to install a big mirror on the front to protect against stellar debris.
@TerTech Oh wait. It’s traveling to interstellar space. If it’s going to interstellar space than just Call it a deep space probe rather than a telescope.
Discord is a radioactive wasteland. You don’t want to find the dark side.

3.8 years ago@StarbornCelestial1 However it is a single ship, it is huge and can carry over 60 crew members, and as much cargo that can fit in its storage.

3.8 years ago@sentinelaerospace Ye weapons mod ain’t bad.
3.8 years ago@sentinelaerospace There are mods for that in SP
3.8 years ago@sentinelaerospace And if your computer can’t handle mods, then it can’t handle weapons itself being added into the game.
3.8 years ago@sentinelaerospace I mean space rockets. Not ICBMs. There’s no need for weapons since there is already a Mod for it.
3.8 years agoMeh. It’s a rocket game. Not a airplane game. Airplanes have weapons, rockets don’t.”
3.8 years ago@DrexxVolv clicky
+1 3.8 years ago@NebulaSpaceAgency Valid.
+1 3.8 years ago@DrexxVolv I mean yeah the New Shepard abort system is a FREAKING SOLID ROCKET MOTOR RIGHT BELOW YOU.
+1 3.8 years ago@QuantumEnterprises ….
+1 3.8 years ago@Zenithspeed Yeah you need to be careful when XML editing without Overload. I lost a important craft because of it.
3.8 years ago@NotAGopnik The man wants to living for friggin ever. He literally invested in immortality research.
+1 3.8 years ago@Zenithspeed You can XML edit any rocket engine to make it powerful. This explains the power stock. Not XML. We don’t do that here.
+1 3.8 years ago@TerTech Holy cow it’s just as nuclear thermal rocket engine.
3.8 years ago@Chtite451SR2 You’re right. You don’t. (You probably already know)
+1 3.8 years ago@DrexxVolv
+1 3.8 years agoServicing it will be more expensive than the actual launch.
3.8 years agoAnd now he wants to send people to service it right after launch…
3.8 years ago@Chtite451SR2 none. I only need 4 boom 50s
3.8 years ago@Chtite451SR2 This one too clicky
3.8 years ago@Chtite451SR2 clicky
3.8 years ago@Chtite451SR2 That is so cursed…
3.8 years ago@Chtite451SR2 And nuclear thermal engines as far as I know don’t make nuclear explosions. They just use nuclear power.
3.8 years ago@Chtite451SR2 Why my craft?
3.8 years ago@DrexxVolv Hell no.
3.8 years ago@pianoplanepianorocket Can you stop pining him? It’s over. We don’t need an FBI investigation for gods sake.
3.8 years ago@pianoplanepianorocket He is underage for sure. He wouldn’t lie for no reason.
3.8 years ago@TerTech Lol I bet you may as well send a new mission with the robot because it costs more money to service it than the actual launch cost.
3.8 years ago@TerTech WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST DO THAT BEFORE LAUNCH?

3.8 years ago@TerTech nonetheless I won’t send a ISVs to service it. I have an upcoming mission to Centauri to colonize it.
3.8 years ago@TerTech That’s just science fiction stuff. Maybe you should have sent a robot with it to service it itself. It saves a lot of money.
3.8 years agoWe have technologies with our ISVs to do this, but it’s too much money just to service a little telescope.
3.8 years agoHow the hell are you going to rendezvous with a space probe that is going at record breaking speeds?
3.8 years agoNahhh. I think it’s fine how it is.
3.8 years agoFixing the fUnK bug will take longer than it takes for Blue origin to launch the new Glenn or deliver their BE-4s for the Vulcan.
+1 3.8 years ago@pianoplanepianorocket Than stop saying that stuff.
3.8 years ago@pianoplanepianorocket No one cares…
3.8 years ago@TerTech Can I see a pic of the space telescope? Also that’s still a space probe.
+1 3.8 years ago@TerTech What includes me?
3.8 years agoAnyways, can you show me what the telescope looks like?
3.8 years agoKind of silly to do this after the launch. Could have saved a lot of money.
+1 3.8 years ago@pianoplanepianorocket Question: Why do you upload so many dang sandboxes?
