IPV “ZEPHYR”
Hopefully, ZEPHYR will be able to depart to Sarnus tomorrow if all things are on schedule, and the two Savoship V2s plus the ISRU unit are delivered and docked on time.

Image captions have extra info. As for the vehicles mentioned;
Firework: Supermaneuverable multi-duty fighter jet capable of either pulling 60+Gz at a whim, or going 1,400m/s at 20km.
Hitchhiker: General-duty plane meant to be able to land anywhere. It can certainly do that, though taking off is another bet.
Windslicer: The crown jewel of the fleet. 48 passenger seats and a capability of Mach 2 at 5km. Perfect for either point-to-point, or long-distance travel. Available with optional droptanks.
VINDICATOR: Autonomous quadcopter, which has completed flight testing and is destined to fly on the atmosphered moon of Tekto in the Sarnus system at some point soon.
Tuna: Recreation of an old craft from my console days. Nothing special here.
Prowler: Experimental VTOL aircraft, initially built to test the nuances of VTOL design, and was quite successful.
Unnamed fighter jet with the two Panther engines: Basically a precursor to the Firework.
As some extra data,
X = the nose, and forwards.
-X = the engines, and the tail.
Z = windward side of ship, and the heatshield.
-Z = the leeward side of ship, where the S.H.E.B.A.N.G system is attached.
Y = starboard side.
-Y = port side.
As for the last image, it's (somewhat poorly) describing the mechanics of the yaw-powerslide maneuver, or, more formerly, the Dynamic Glide Phase Axes Vectoring (DGPAV) maneuver. Ship rotates 45 degrees clockwise, yaws to the right. 45 degrees counterclockwise, yaws to the left. That is the gist of it.
Possibly the most badass thing I've done so far in KSP unironically, like, yeah, landing a 70 meter booster is COOL, but this just takes the cake. Savoship V1 genuinely could never do this at ALL
Also don't mind the music I was just rocking here tbh
yeah
pansexual:I like everyone and shit
enby: gender is boring i think
fictionkin:in simple terms i'm basically just. peridot from SU and whatnot. she's the most accurate representation of me as a person ig
Small little photoshoot of the exterior and interior of my latest custom build in Beam, the "Sky Sparrow" based off the CCF2 with a top speed of 129mph in initial test runs.
I'd probably call these screenshots just midrange tbh, cause I can take better screenshots
it's my birthday today type shit✨
going extra Woke and Queer cause it's the very fancy month of June type shit...
(no, i'm not a femboy.)
this is just marked as nsfw cause like it MIGHT be a bit gorey lowkey
anwyays doc please help this image fries me ngl
do we have any info or consensus on what caused B19 to fail the boostback burn, or why it flipped in the wrong direction?
Alright, so uh, HOLY FUCK THAT LAUNCH WAS INSANE
And holy shit they actually were going for a 33-engine boostback burn that's fucking insane. Rest in peace booster 19, you did well mate
First time a ship has gotten to SECO with an engine out, so insane on the redundancy aspect which is great
There WAS some damage on the ground, though.
LOCK IN TANK WATCHERS WE GOT STARSHIPS TO LAUNCH
NSF broadcasted this overlay on their IFT-12 stream a few minutes ago and I think it's a pretty neat comparison.
Damnit.
So, that was FIVE holds in a row, uh, wow SpaceX way to keep us on the edge of our seats.
2 minutes ago on the SpaceX X account,
"Standing down from today’s flight test"
Scrub better than RUD though
Edit: From Elon, he says-
“The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract.”
I'm optimistic we can light the candle today but the weather is looking a bit offputting, do y'all think today's gonna be the day or might it be scrubbed
would v1 be willing to try sex or would v1 just be entirely sex-averse
Booster 19 is currently being rolled back to Pad 2!
