[@SharkyKSP]

no

[@Gallade082]

LOL

[@UnePintade]

Lmfao, although I'm pretty sure they dislike it because the stats it had in CH4 were absurd not because it was ahistorical EDIT : Yeah it was just flatout better than the shuttle's RS-25 with twice the TWR and better ISP

[@jeceratops5280]

CH-4s devs admitted it too, the NK-15VM is just flat out impossible to build, especially in 1960s Russia where the main engineers thought Hydrolox was stupid and pointless

[@andrewchapman2039]

That beautiful speck, so prominent in the evening sky. A bright shining spot luring explorers beyond their doom. Frozen in time by distance, but always still out there, waiting for someone brave or stupid enough to defeat the odds, reach out and touch it. But for all that hardship, the endless void of space, and the limits of technology, reaching out and taking hold of it isn't the hard part. It's letting go.

Fun fact: at 35 tons Krasnyy-3 is MASSIVE. It's 50% more massive then the Artemis I Orion spacecraft, and it's 6 times heavier then Europa Clipper, which is the record holder heaviest interplanetary probe. It's definitely a big boi.

That was glorious. Can't imagine what the Rogatka crew had to go through.

[@Svabre]

“He left a young, hopeful, happy and brave man. He was confident. He was a beloved hero of the Union. He returned a resigned and depressed schizophrenic, never to fly again.”.

[@SuprSBG]

I loved the portal-style music of the N-2 launch!

[@jimmymcgoochie5363]

That’s from Dyson Sphere Program and the soundtrack in that game really is top notch, I use it in KSP all the time.

[@malgos6532]

When you realize the time it took between the release of the videos of the Rogatka launch and return is almost the same as the time the mission would have taken without timewarp💀

[@stainlesssteelfox1]

o7 Millie and Konstantin Kerman. Your sacrifice and dedication will not be forgotten.

[@mustafabostanci6423]

What an impactful mission. Over a year and they have returned from venus safe and sound. Not publicly but technically biggest achievement than landing on moon imo. And Milli would receive the medal of "Hero of the Labour of the Republic of Cuba" for in recognition of extraordinary merits achieved in productive labour or in struggles for conquests and in defense of the achievements and interests of the working class, as well as for consistent practice and valuable contributions to proletarian internationalism.

[@german-americanmapping6766]

She likely would have received both, it's not too unusual for prominent figures to get foreign awards from allies.

[@ScienceRules118]

The engines used on the N-2 have me wondering if a variation on the UR-700 concept using the RD-116s in place of the RD-270s (and the NK-15VMs in place of the hypergolic/kerolox upper stage engines) might not be a more efficient option. If nothing else, I'm fairly sure that was something that was considered (as part of a hail Mary effort by Chelomei to keep the UR-700 from being canceled).

[@jungleboyblue]

A highlight to my day! Thank you!

[@strongHORNET112]

I sure hope the next mission isn't a crewed Jupiter flyby (no treadmill). Also, you did indeed butcher Mirosław Hermaszewski. But don't worry, Polish people sometimes have trouble pronouncing their names too!
