At the last season 1990 both my Austronauts was strolling down the moon Avenue [:D]

Well done! We should have most gameplay mechanics implemented in a few weeks, then we'll start tweaking the spreadsheets so that a Moon landing can be achieved in a more sensible timeframe.

Cheers,

Thanx [:)] Looking forward to the next build.

Made it to the moon too.

Wanda Ridgeway, the command pilot, was 87 [started with the X15] and Hershel Netter, the pilot, was 80 (grin). There is no astronaut retirement.

The flag planted on the moon read GSA.

Congratz [:D]
When was this? Was it late as me or you succeded earlier?

[0.7.7] I succeeded 1.1996 in the direct ascent moon landing. There were 3 failures in the Gemini capsule during the direct ascent sequence that each took 5-6 seasons apiece to remedy. I found the steps needed to be in the 91%+ stage or max design if under 90% to succeed.

I had done all the other missions except Gemini docking II and EVA-Docking II. I had 2 failures of the rocket lifting the docking module.

The Mars 2 lander mission succeeded 2 years before Viking Mars I lander. The Viking Mars I lander failed twice on 2/3 and 3/3 before with near max development.
The Sun probe failed once, and the Jupiter probe failed in stage 2/20. For the long duration missions, players will be unhappy failing at the ends of 20 term missions. Better to fail earlier.

My observations were not to attempt missions without near max development in each step. Oddly, this is my reading of the actual Russian program. The US took risks from time to time.

In the end there were lots of scientists taking coffee breaks.
