Odyssey, Houston. You are go for Trans-Hermian Injection

This train is bound for glory! Thunder and lightning as Odyssey sets sail for Mercury. Aboard are five astronauts who will spend six months exploring the Iron Planet.

Atlantis has reached the Moon!

(In hindsight I should have kept the ET attached. There probably was enough fuel for a return...)

And how there can leave from the moon back to earth? :lol:

Awesome! :lol:
What stack did you use to launch it? (apart prom the shuttle stack)
Maybe this? [/self-plug]

The Scenario Editor launch vehicle Just plopped it in LEO with a full external tank.

Uchu Senkan Yamato, or for us English users, Space Battleship Yamato.

This model actually reminds me of the home built model I made out of two pencils and some pieces of styrofoam glued together to make up my version of the Yamato. It was neat and also looked similar to this one. Sadly that model didn't survive. Even though I thought it was crafted nicely despite the materials I used.

Maybe sometime we might see someone bring in a Super Dimensional Fortress-1 (SDF-1) to Orbiter. :thumbup:

See! All you nay-sayers, look! This would have been a great moment to have an airbace on the serface of the moon!

Earth at 1.5 million km. Our little blue home, lost in the dark...

I think I am going to be sick

Good sick, or bad sick?

STS-133 post-undock from ISS on March 7 2011:

Compare with this one:

Small progress with James Cook: onboard nuclear reactor with ~30 year operational life unrefueled. Nice for anyone fond of persistent scenarios.

30 years? Is that really simulated? Can you go on for that long without refueling? :huh:

The reactor can. If you want to do anything meaningful with the spacecraft, the propellant is actually rather limited...

Well, it was worth a try to see if anyone really has simulated something to that nature. Cause I want to make my TARDIS run that way. Unlimited in fuel since its real power plant is a blackhole. :thumbup:

I just thought this looked cool:

It's totally possible. Set its exhaust velocity to some absurd number like 1e50.
