I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECLARED

[Horus Lupercal]

Too bad the element of multiplayer, even just two participants, can't meet in game.

You can, you just share the quicksave file. It just becomes turn based rather than real time

Yeah, I didn't think crashing was a turn based game either

Zathura then.

 

[Zeeray13]

Most definitely. Crew safety now is a priority.

What are crew?

Let our mission begin!

Stheon-Charon lifts off the launchpad, to get to LEO and dock with Athena.

Burning for orbit...

Booster separation:

First stage detached and second stage engines ignite!

Reached LEO and preparing to raise apoapsis:

Now raising the periapsis:

Preparing for rendezvous...

We no longer need the LAS, so say goodbye!

Messed up rendezvous, so I need to try again.

Second stage separation:

Attempting second rendezvous:

"OH SHIT!" Screams the pilot as he frantically turns the craft and fires the engines, narrowly avoiding collision with the other craft.

Slowed down, and now using RCS to guide the craft and dock.

Preparing to dock...

Stheno-Charon and Athena has docked!

You gotta admit is based on the SLS...

 

[The Dark in the Light]

You gotta admit is based on the SLS...

Unintentionally, I suppose. When building it, what I was thinking was, "I want a crewed rocket that isn't overpowered and looks pretty cool." It's weight is 423.2 Tons and TWR 1.28, so I did pretty good.

You should burn horizontally by the time you reach 20km. It'll save you a lot of Δv lost at apoapsis. And keep your apoapsis under 40km (with practice you'll get it under 32). To keep it low, rather than shutting down and restarting, just lean over so your rocket is at 90º with the dotted line of the Apoapsis.

 

[The Dark in the Light]

Ok, time to land the crew back on Earth.

Reentry:

Parachutes deployed:

Landed!
