Unfortunate to see the Soviet space program be eaten by vultures, but I suppose it's not the focus of the timeline- can't be helped.

I'm really enjoying the "Space Shuttle Program But There's A Gradually Heightening Sense Of Anxiety" thing going on.

Sure, but "late Soviet" doesn't apply to the Adventures. They're contemporaries of the more successful of our world's Veneras, and by indications this world isn't quite as bound to a "Soviet Union falls on the exact same date as in OTL with a long collapse beforehand" trajectory.

For canard pushers, my favorite has to be the Voisin Canard. By looking like a normal plane being flown backwards, it just becomes a remarkably elegant pusher biplane!

I'm pretty sure both "dwarves" and "dwarfs" are accepted, actually. If you really don't like tidelocking (and note that with the speeds planets orbit red dwarfs, not only does heat transfer keep both sides fairly temperate but also a "water tongue" unfreezes along the night side), you can...

Hell yeah can't wait for Energia-Polyus To The Fucking Moon

The trajectory SSGL seems to be on looks like crew will be LEO-bound for a couple decades, tbh

I imagine they draw them in the same programs they use to draw on the maps themselves- often Glimpse (or its relative the GNU Image Manipulation Program), Paint dot Net, Clip Studio Paint, and the like.

What sort of map do you need? Just one scaled for comparison, or...?

On the other hand, Apollo's RCS quads may still be functional....

I was talking about the pre-placed habitat.

Wait, they spent 17 months in THAT tiny can?

Could you put this image in a spoiler? Shambling algorithm images give me, and a lot of other people, headaches.

nah i'm saying that's how the wolrd was back then

'Cuz there aren't any.
