Beyond Trinity - Proxima Centauri Colonizing Mission in KSP

BGM：Final+Frontier - Thomas Bergersen
Stellaris Suite: Creation and Beyond - Andreas Waldetoft
I used some cheating tools（hyperedit）to reduce repetitive tasks, and the delta-v is enough to complete this mission.
Some shots are made by After Effects.
I added TundraExploration's plume to the thermal nozzle of KSPIE.
The landing script is modifed by Nessus's script.
Special thanks to the translation of Acea.
