Half a decade ago, I was making Orbiter mods for a Japan-like country called Hatsunia, inspired by this. And in 2019, I started depicting the origins of the Hatsunia Aerospace Science and Development Agency (HASDA) in Kerbal Space Program with the Real Solar System and Realism Overhaul mods...

The problem is that I tried to play it in the 1.8 Beta (because I selected "historical" in the Minecraft Launcher). I tried it on 1.8.6 and I can see my house now. And the Delta Glider

@jangofett287, @Hielor, @Artlav - I see my house (near the southern ice lake) and the Delta Glider model I made, but when I tried to play the old save, it was in Minecraft 1.1 (according to the pumpkins near spawn), and at a point before I joined the server. How did you get that?

The Negi-2 launch vehicle first lifted off on 1965-03-09. It had a maximum capacity of 300 kg to a 250 km low Earth orbit (but most launches would involve using up to half of the capacity, and launching into a higher inclination). Total wet mass: 52729 kg (assuming no payload) Height: 22.9 m...

The Negi-E sounding rocket had twice the diameter of its predecessor. It would become the first stage of an orbital launch vehicle. Diameter: 1039 mm Height: 14.6 m Wet mass: 14661 kg (with no payload) Dry mass: 2474 kg Thrust: 539 kN Burn time: 48.8 s Propellant: Solid Specific impulse: 220...
