Description
Edit: Added atmospheric effects, updated missions, updated planets to 8.2.1.Edit 2: Much better version here: fav.me/d5owkh2
Ah, Kerbal Space Program.
It's like the Soviet space program, but directed by Micheal Bay.
Made in PS CS5.1, 1 hour.
All planets based on images from the wiki.
KSP is (c) to Squad.

Question-when you say "not even a little bit to scale", do you mean that the planets' literal sizes are skewed (example, Jool should be + or - a couple miles in diameter) or do you mean that the planets' relative sizes are skewed (example, Jool should be only a millimeter in diameter because we're looking through a telescope)?

The apparent size and distance as perceived by the viewer is not to scale. For example, Kerbol is much larger than any of the other planets and much farther away from Moho that the map would suggest.

Was just gonna say something about the scaleΒ Β

Atlas 1-30 lost, Atlas 31 successful.
How did it take you 31 missions to land on the planet you came from? Let me guess, landing troubles?
π: 0 β©: 1
As you can see from from the map key, Atlas was never meant for landing. It took me 30 tries to learn the flight controls, attitude adjustment, rocket construction, and rudimentary orbit mechanics. The majority of failures occurred within 4 minutes of launch, the rest were due to parachute or staging problems.
Atlas 31 demonstrated excellent attitude control and had a good power to weight ratio. Its design was adjusted for a 3 man capsule and become Kestrel.

Was it hard to make sure the moons and planets were properly scaled?

If I were to make this to scale, Kerbol would dominate the picture, Jool would be a tiny green dot, and the other planets and moons less than a pixel wide. Not to mention distance...

Looks awesome man, do you have the PSD so I could put my own ships/missions on it?
I'll give credit if I ever post it anywhere.

Don't mind the enormous template stamp. It's not in the PSD.

I will make a template eventually. I have to clean it and update it first because this was bit of a rush job.

Uiii nice Idea! I guess i also need some kind of trip history...
Only achieved a landing on Mun an Minmus so far and much of explosions. RIP Kerbonauts

I still can't get over how cute Mun sounds.
