The whole SLS program was cursed from the start. Utilizing bloated and corrupt Boeing as the prime contractor for SLS and Orion with "cost plus contracting" that incentivizes cost overruns along with no clear space strategy. Not to mention the asinine Artemis architecture with a Starship moon...

Maybe this would be a good time to resurrect the XR3 Phoenix and XR4 Nyx projects. I believe the authors of those meshes are still at least somewhat active on the forums and would probably grant permission to "pass on the torch" so to say.

I wonder if the Russians were able to get some of the VASIMR blueprints...

It looks a little short...

Is this Sputnik's HL20? On another note, I would like to see Sputnik's add-ons revived in some way...

Competition in general, private and government, is good for this new space race. In terms of Artemis hardware, didn't NASA select the Blue Origin lander as a backup for Starship? I guess NASA is banking on Starship eventually becoming a full replacement for the SLS/Artemis system in the further...

Didn't the Air Force donate a bunch of them to Nasa a few years back? What happened to them?

Boeing's inefficiency and corruption seems to finally be catching up to it.

Hello Brian, Perhaps these images will help illustrate the problem:

Hi Brian, Thank you very much for your work on this great addon! I've been trying to do an aerobraking at Mars, and it seems that whenever I utilize the included AoA and Bank autopilot, the Bank values seem to reset and the spacecraft wants to roll fully over once the AoA goes from either...

I am currently running Orbiter 2016 with the latest D3D9 client on a Linux Mint machine through Wine. I know that for some of the add-ons I use, I need to create symbolic links in order for them to function properly. Unfortunately, ever time I click on the "Create Symbolic Links" button, I get...

Recommend FlickR to host your photos

That would be a real neat cargo airliner irl. Meanwhile I'm just sitting here waiting for the XR3...

Looks like the good ol' dry workshop concept Skylab was based around is back! I wonder if there is anything SLS-based out there on the drawing board... Maybe try to do something with the big orange first stage as a wet workshop?

But it got the job done...

Must be a curse now, like the Mars curse... I guess the JUICE is worth the squeeze...
