Another great canceled AAP (Apollo Application Program) would be the Lunar Escape System. It allows the astronauts on the lunar surface to return to the CSM in case the ascent stage engine fails to fire. AMSO could add it as a foldable payload just like the Lunar Rover on Apollo 18, 19, and 20...

How do you know? I indeed have downloaded and installed Project Gemini. I even docked with an Agena! ;)

An Atlas-Agena would be a nice addition to Gemini. It could use estar's Atlas without the Mercury capsule and just a new mesh and animations for the Agena upper stage.

There should be a hotkey to toggle the angel scene. An alternative would be to have a damage model. For example, disintegration of the CM during re-entry.

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when: You are granted a flight to the ISS as a space tourist when you reply "No thanks, I can go anytime with Orbiter." :rofl:

Plasma from Apollo 11's entry. Notice how the flames die down.

Did you try pressing Ctrl+Down while in the cockpit?

O is used to open the outer airlock door. The cargo bay is opened in the lowest panel in the bottom.

Good to hear. I can't wait! :cheers:

How about improving the LazyD tribute? (May he rest in peace.) Adding spotlights would be nice. After the flag planting, the angel should also be there, rising slowly from the lunar surface with the spotlights on.

The launch was spectacular! Especially during SRB sep and ET jettison. I think I even saw a scattered smoke plume in Miami!

I got it! Thanks for the help astrosammy.

Whenever I do the STS-41C (LDEF launch) mission or the STS-31 mission (Hubble launch) with the Shuttle Fleet, I see the payload peeking out of the payload bay. Is there any way of "shrinking" the payload? For the default Atlantis, the payloads fit perfectly without the peeking. Please see the...

Orbinauts Rule In Orbit Now

Ever heard of the man with 101 voices? YouTube - The Man of 101 Voices

I actually saw When We Left Earth when it premiered in Discovery on June of last year. The footage was so awesome! :censored: I am really thinking of buying the DVD because unlike other documentaries which only cover one part of NASA's programs, When We Left Earth covers all of NASA's programs...

Those missions should mainly emphasize the visuals. There should be no crew in the VC. Also, they must have special cameras in the VC and the Saturn such as the staging cams I mentioned earlier.

I have some attached photographs of those canceled Apollo missions. These pictures are in mission order: Marius Hills with Apollo 18, Copernicus with Apollo 19, and Tycho with Apollo 20. My suggestion to ACS is to implement Apollo 20 into AMSO and its landing site Tycho (see third photo). I...

Sick Suckers That Orbit :rofl:

I was supposed to add 2001 to the poll but because I forgot, I could not edit it. :oh:
