The Big G

Post by DGatsby »

Hey Guys,

I had a question about Part 2 of BASPM. I know it's pretty far down the road, and that nothing is probably decided for sure, but still I want to ask.

Will the "Big Gemini" program be in part 2? It would make a nice alternative to the shuttle or continued Apollo hardware. It would also make sense to use it if you had used Gemini hardware to go to the moon in part 1. If something works, why change?

It's my favorite alt-history programs. I'd post pictures, but apparently I haven't participated enough on the forums.[:'(]

Anyways, happy holidays!

Have you gotten to the Short Lunar Excursion missions? I think those may already have this included.

That's a different vehicle. The short lunar excursions has the Gemini with a direct ascent module: engines and fuel. The Big Gemini has an expanded crew compartment for 6-12 astronauts, with a much larger service module behind it.

Check it out on Wikipedia! It's a really neat ship.
