While everybody is doing projects where they colonize planets and moons, I wanted to do something a little bit different. I wanted to tour the real solar system. I plan on landing on; Mars Venus The Moon Mercury Phobos Deimos and the 4 moons of Jupiter. I am going to accomplish this by launching many different fuel cells around different moons and planets. I am also going to be building a launch and landing site on the Moon. Finally, along with the use of pre staged fuel cells, I will be using many different gravity assists to have this mission be as economically efficient as possible. For this’s mission I will be using my space shuttle. Before the mission takes place, there will be about 20-25 launches. This will be to setup the Moon site, and pre staged fuel cells. My first launch will take place later today, however I may not update the post until tomorrow, depending on how busy I am.

Well, that's an interesting project, I still haven't tried the Grand Tour myself under 1.5. I wish you good luck :)

Here’s launch No. 3, the last fuel cell into LEO for now. After this we will focus on a refueling, launch and landing site in the moon.

so LP64350, after sending fuel pods to orbit, are you goin to dock and refuel there for the tour? :)

and also,

nice sweet shuttle you've got there ;);)

Yes, I will be re-fueling there. I’ve got to launch quite a few more, but I just haven’t been able to find the time to keep working .




nice sweet shuttle you've got there ;);)
Thanks :)

I found some spare time today, so I decided to launch some more fuel cells into LEO. These are launch number 4 and 5.
For launch number five I was flying with a special all black paint job.
