i feel like nows the perfect time to try out that ares-I esque launch vehicle for getting refueling vehicles, maybe a no refueling need, but test of the vehicles capability mission, think like a larger centaur stage, maybe an inflatable heatshield in the front, side docking port, and this way it can be justified as a super cheap launch vehicle, with a reusable payload, and could repurpose it for a mun transfer stage for a payload for the mun orbital station
You know, on that front I was thinking of repurposing Hermes I as a refueller, it has the launch capacity for it and it already has proven its reliability. I'm thinking for the Mun transfer vehicle I want a dedicated orbital vehicle, one that maybe can refuel around Kerbin to begin with while the Mun base gets up and running. I'm loving all the ideas, keep em coming!
@moonfish1001 it would give reason to keep flying Hermes, but the ares-I would give you a cheap to lko expendable vehicle for those fuel needs, that wouldn't be annoying to fly and return, if the Hermes gets boring down the line
Great video! I just got this video recommended randomly. I'll watch through the series now haha
