I've been playing this game for over 10 years and Mun landings still make my heart rush

Turns out I brought *just* enough fuel to make it back. Gonna build some more margin into this before the next one 😅

Also landed next to the KSC by sheer coincidence!

For a brief moment, we can pretend it's still summer

First minmus flyby, minmus lander sent and attempting first mun return mission, all at the same time

First time on the 72, taking a unique way back from the B line celebration. Didn't know we had 40s with commuter seats

First Kerbals in space and flying by the mun

Also started the first minmus flyby but the upper stage engine failed, because again, reliability

Well the dress didn't fit, my razor died halfway through shaving, I spilled half my foundation, and the wig is by far the worst one I've ever worn and it went in the trash as soon as I got home, but I think I pulled it off

Waiting to see if my Halloween costume gets here today like

First Mun flyby and first landing, I've still got it

Next time, FINALLY putting a kerbal in space!... After about 9 hours of playing

Gonna start a new gimmick account "tools with threatening auras"

Finally reached space after about 2 hours, still haven't reached orbit

Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Aw shit, here we go again

I've got so many strange mods installed that I don't even remember. Science takes time? And has disk space? I don't start with Kerbals? Wonder what else past me did.

I started a new save, played for a half hour, and didn't even reach space!

Women don't care about the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing; and it's a Milwaukee Road Class A Atlantic

My idea was to take one and put it on a slumbercoach so you get the big dome and the funny windows

Coon Rapids just kinda... disappeared. It also entered private ownership and was briefly used in excursion service on the EL&S. Supposedly it was seized by the owner due to money owed. It was last spotted around 1980.

What about the other 2 lounges? (I'm skipping Cedar Rapids)

Dell Rapids was sold to the Root family. After "Chappie" Root's death, his entire collection including the car was donated to the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Sciences, where it resides today.

But this is where things get interesting

The last one, Arrow Creek, has bumped around in private ownership and various states of rehab since it was sold by CN. Currently, the Aberdeen, Carolina and Western is planning to add it to their business train. They bought it from the Iowa Pacific bankruptcy.
