The daily Pioneer One update! The last module was added today! :D Now all that are left are the engines and Pioneer One will be fully assembled! :D (The four Gallilean landers will have to be launched as well before the ship can depart for Jupiter, though. Might bring it around for a...

I launched SSM-69 (nice) today! Mission is the same as the previous ones: send a module up there! (Also, I have no idea what addon the gibberish at the bottom of the screen come from.) That's a new one. I guess I messed with the multistage config file to move the exhaust of one of the shuttle's...

Launch of SSM-68 today. Module installed! Can't even see the whole thing in my windows lol Reentry. And landed. With this mission over, I officially flew half the number of Space Shuttle missions NASA did from launch to landing! :D Another 67 to go before SSM-135 lmao

New day, new module (let's ignore the fact its two hours from midnight lmao) It's been 17 flights since I began the assembly of the spaceship. Ten more to go! The full spreadsheet on Google Spreadsheets.

And another module! Now all that's left are the two engines at the back and the length of the ship will be completed! But only the length. There's still four modules to place on the sides to actually complete the ship, which will be launched first before the engines.

And hop! A new module added to Pioneer One!

SSM-64: First flight of Space Shuttle Endurance! And, it is also the first Space Shuttle take-off from Pelee Island! First mission to start and end in Canada! However, as fun as it was, the Multistage autopilot seemed to struggle a lot from launching at such a high lattitude. Released me...

There is now somewhere at Quebec where you can park your XR-2 to protect it from the cold and the rain/snow. :)

On the surface of Io.

Made some hangars for the Quebec airport.

I recorded an entire space shuttle flight (STS2016) today. Thought I'd share it here. (Pretend you didn't see that initial contact with the ground lol)

That's exactly what I am doing! :P I did wonder early on what to use for landings, because I definitely plan to land on the Galilean moons. My original idea was to put a port under the ship to allow the Deltaglider to dock flat to it, a bit like the port in the cargo-bay of the Arrow Freighter...

I'm targetting Jupiter, so yeah :P

I'll try to limit the number of screenshots I put in. But here, five screens from the dozen I took of today's flight: Another module was brought to my interplanetary spaceship Pioneer One.

Thank you for your kind words. :( In all seriousness, though. :) Today, I flew with my Deltaglider to Jupiter! :D :D GL-01 departure from Earth! Jupiter is visible from afar! Hello, Your Majesty! Arrival at the moon of Europa! We're gonna land there :D Getting close to the surface...

Adding a new module to my interplanetary spaceship (Pioneer One) today! Space Shuttle Resolution on the launchpad at Kourou. In orbit. (That shot! That shot!) Module added. Reentry. Target: Rochambeau Airport! But horror! The space shuttle didn't reach the airport! It crashed! A Cessna...

New York City to Quebec City today! A flight to my hometown! I'm excited! :D Takeoff from JFK. Leaving New York City. Arrival at Quebec City. It's not sunset. There's just so many clouds everything is under shadows. Airport and the bridges in view. Touchdown. Orbiter or a Flight Sim? :D...

Departure from Pelee Island inbound for New York City! :D Got a nice moonrise on the way there. Arrival at New York. Landed at John F. Kennedy! Today's flight path + total flight path since the beginning of my world tour.

I did think about it to be honest, and I might do, as a matter of fact. But I'm very much treating this as my own personal spaceport (even gave it the name "Croussette Spaceport" lmao), which means it is constantly evolving to match my personal needs. I am also using it as a "museum" of sort for...

Next part of the world tour took place today. It was a short skip to Pelee Island, located in the Canadian half of Lake Erie. Departure from Indianapolis. The island is visible (and we aren't even far from Indianapolis yet!) Final approach. Landing at Pelee Island! As you can see, there...
