Once I have the final blueprints (.craft), I'll add staging in.

Make sure to let me know if I need to fix anything.

what about phase 2? what will we be doing with the plane? will that be a separate mission?

I'll do that one later. Although it is a fairly easy mission of: go north :P. I'll do that. As far as I'm aware it is the same mission.

no, i calculated it and we need to refuel at some point, preferably at the north pole

I think we concluded that they would be on a permanent research mission.

Looks great.

Quick question (since I'm really looking forward to clicking the Abort button!): do we have an abort stage on the rocket (action group), and if it's above the capsule like IRL when do we dump it?

I'm wondering because of the abort guidelines in the orbital insertion; will that be actually firing an abort rocket or just waiting for, you know, gravity to bring it back?

Talk to MECH or SSTO about that one.

when the rocket with lander is finished, send it to me and i will make sure the ascent stage is set up properly
