From Reusable Rockets to Interstellar Travel: A New Space Program
In short: Scott Manley launches a rigorous new space program in Kerbal Space Program. Moving beyond simple orbital flight, this series aims to develop a functional interstellar starship while adhering to strict realism and survival constraints.
This series serves as a successor to the reusable space program, utilizing a collection of mods to push the boundaries of the game. Unlike previous content, this quest enforces several new rules: no 'super-kerbals' like Jeb, no editing out failures, and a commitment to avoiding long-term isolation in one-man capsules.
The first episode documents the initial hurdles of this ambitious journey, including two major mistakes and one fatality. While the science gains are currently small, the goal is to establish a foundation for non-sci-fi technology before attempting the leap to interstellar travel.
