Project Aether

[USAA]

Project Aether

Project Aether is the next step after Project Cerberus, and with the success of Project Cerberus, Aether can begin. Project Aether is when we will start bringing manned missions to the Moon, as well as starting to discover Mars. These are it's goals:
1. Land a manned mission on the Moon, and bring it back.
2. Begin developing technology for Mars exploration.
3. Land a rover on Mars.

At the success of these goals, the next project will begin.

I guess I need help again. I know I can land on the Moon, now I need to learn how to orbit the Moon and make a full trip. Luckily, there's you guys.

Mars is another tough situation, and that will come later. For now, we'll focus our attention to the Moon. And by the way, thanks for the help on Project Cerberus. It means a lot to me.

Bigger lander, fly it all the way from lunar surface to Earth.

So, more fuel and more powerful?

 

[Pink]

More fuel yes. Only more powerful as needed for it to still be able to land safely.

 

[USAA]

Well, I got close the last time.

Except for the part where I once again slammed into the lunar surface and destroyed the only way I could TRY getting back.

Did you ever return from the Moon?

 

[USAA]

Did you ever return from the Moon?

Not... not yet. Still working on the design.

Gjve me 20 minutes to crate a transfer stage for your lander to return to earth

 

[JSP]

Hey USAA
Here is a transfer stage for your lander to return home to

 

[USAA]

First attempt at returning: Failure

Reason: No parachute
Parachute was added, have had no more successful landings.

Um... I don't feel in the mood for a BP edit... I would consider that cheating.

 

[USAA]

Bigger lander, fly it all the way from lunar surface to Earth.

So, no bigger lander is necessary, because I am able to go back to Earth with the lander, I just needed to add a parachute.

Still waiting for a time to test it out.

I don't think he asked for this. This is coming from normal me , not moderator me because this isn't in any a way a rule so don't feel forced to do it but please encourage people to build their own things and be creative not just give them you've built.

This is BP clipping it's a glitch used by nearly everyone all I was trying to do was help

By giving him the BP to a lander your helping him do one mission. It doesn't help him with anything else.

And besides, help is nice, but I need to learn how to master this stuff without external help.

What's wrong with external help?

 

[USAA]

What's wrong with external help?

Well, I like building and designing my own stuff.

 

[Soyuzturtle]

Yeah I discourage giving people the resources to do something but that isn't the same thing as teaching someone how to do it themselves.

Eh, you're right, but I also want to learn this, not be spoonfed everything.

 

[Horus Lupercal]

It's that oft repeated thing about being given a fish, and being taught how to fish.

Although, it's difficult to give you help, I'm not even sure what standard you're at or what you're building that is failing you so we can help improve it

Honestly I'm fine on the Moon part. But as soon as I'm done with the Moon, it's onto Mars.

 

[USAA]

Moon landing and back was a success!

Yay, good job!
I would suggest a Kolibri engine for a lander that small. Apart from that, nicely done!

Next stop: Mars!

Congrats on your first Moon return mission USAA

I saw your Team Titan entry, I guess you can expect a blue badge soon
