Fleet Farm. Remember, if they don't have it, you don't need it.

I guess I don't need that little rocket of yours do I?

I dare say it's both! Thank you to Dr.Schweiger and all add-on makers for making such a highly detailed spaceflight simulator for us!

Hail the almighty probe!

meanwhile, the Skylab-4 mission is being prepared for tomorrows launch to Skylab. 3 taikonauts will be the residents of Skylab for 2 weeks.

(I'm not launching a Chinese spacecraft/crew to Skylab because of the Tiangong 1 launch earlier this week. I already planned this mission for some weeks)
