I never even bothered with SSTO spaceplanes before adding mods to this game but now I want to see everything return lmao

Watching that rocket climb right into the stars really does make you feel like you can touch the sky yourself.

It really does add that last piece to the puzzle on graphics. Beautiful shot, hopefully the crew made it back to the KSC safely

It was actually the first time I nailed it back to the KSC runway. First time we ate a cactus at 80 m/s. 2nd time we landed at the desert runway. 3rd time made it home :)

Alright good to hear! I've been playing on and off since 2016 and I, sadly, have only landed safely at the KSC once in stock. I'm always amazed when anyone makes it there.

I aimed my Pe at 25km, pretty far east of KSC, like way farther than what looks comfortable (because I fell drastically short the previous launch, i.e. desert runway) and it was nearly perfect. I slowed down to Mach 1 just at the mountains, I could have aimed even more east lol

I just got the game back and installed some visual mods. Hopefully didn't miss any important ones lol. I know I got EVE and firefly. Haven't tried to reach orbit yet. Last I played I made it to minmus and ran out of fuel... So I rage quit lol but I'm gonna try again because I do love the game and what it's about. The patience is what I may be a little short on some of the time.
