I didn't give the return a lot of thought, but yeah, the Starship would dock with the Gateway and the crew would probably return with another spaceship.

A new BDB update that changed some parts broke the craft file. I can't remember how I built the lander exactly, but I think I placed the structure under the Lander can and then used the offset tool to move it up.

@@salticus sorry i don't seem to understand

nvm i do

I think you need to have the Breaking Ground DLC for the truss. As far as I know you should find it under "Hokulani".

The lander was a little cramped, but the view was full of space! -Jeb, probably.

@@victor_silva6142 ha, nice one

In terms of space, I would be more worried about the Gemini itself - it is about the size of a compact car inside, but they would have to spend a week inside it

as a result of the sun the outside of the station actually became visibly charred by the time Skylab 1 arrived .

Yeah, this is kind of a "Skylab, but without the problems"-scenario.

That's a part that got changed in a new(ish) BDB update, so older craft files with it aren't compatible anymore. The lander itself should be really easy to build though, it's like 10 parts.

@@salticus Alrighty. Thank you so much for the help! Edit: For anyone having this issue, download BDB 1.10.3, copy-paste the missing file into your current BDB KSP folder and you'll be good!

@@David-fb5wf and where can you find this file

It's part of Bluedog Design Bureau, as well as all the other parts. Though in this video I am using the newest version that updated all the Skylab and Apollo parts, older versions may not have it.

I read documentation for BDB. For the truss part for skylab to show up in the parts you have to have The Breaking Ground DLC. This confused me too, until I found out

@@formula1456 Thank you very much!

I'm glad you enjoy the videos!

@@salticus Thanks from me too for your brilliant work! You brought me back to the mid-90s, when three outstanding astronauts John Young, Neil Armstrong and John Glenn personally answered my letters. Their letters and autographed photographs are carefully preserved in our family, as a piece of a great time in the history of mankind, in which I was lucky enough to live. My best wishes from Saint Petersburg, Russia.🤝

Probably one of the best sounds ever heard by humans!

Yes

@@salticus ok, thanks

Huh, didn't even know that channel! It's just a song out of a youtube library though, you would be surprised how often you hear these songs being used after you've listened to a few of them

cheers mate, it was just one of those weird moments like when you listen to on song then expect a certain next song but a different one plays.

As cursed as it may be, there was actually a launch escape tower designed for the Gemini capsule, supposed to fly on the Gemini Ferry (which sadly never left the drawing board)

An LES should've been there instead of ejector seats. In a pure oxygen environment, they dump you out next to what is essentially a bomb, and if you're ejecting, that bomb has most likely lost control. Not to mention how there was a very high chance of just ejecting straight through the hatch and dying

And if the Soviet moon program had gone better than it historically did, you might well've seen something like this flown in order to be sure of beating the Soviets.

At that moment, the Soyuz was a brand new ship. And it was intended for a lunar flight (7K-LOK). The orbital version (7K-OK) is a branch of the lunar program, and not vice versa. The following versions had a pressurized docking port, starting with Soyuz-10 - 7KT-OK (although some Soyuz 7K-T and 7K-TM series (Soyuz-Apollo program) were used without a docking port for various reasons)
