Beyond Sol | A Mission to Proxima Centauri in KSP / RSS / RO

We’ve got a Discord server now! Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to our own, Sol. With a 4.2 lightyear gulf separating Earth and the rocky exoplanet Proxima Centauri b, traversing such a massive distance is substantially more difficult than simple interplanetary missions. Proxima b, in this video, is theorized to have a thin atmosphere, be slightly larger than Earth, and have a very flattened, weathered surface due to the lack of tectonic activity and near-tidal locking to its home star. Filming this mission has been a journey in and of itself. I’ve actually filmed 3 other, unique, ready-to-release versions of this mission, but I decided not to release them because I simply didn’t believe that they lived up to my standards. I’m really happy to release this one and I hope you enjoy it. Ground operations on Proxima b were inspired by @reach6898 in their Proxima colonizing mission. Kerbal Space Program Mods (non-exhaustive list): Real Solar System (Changes the stock system into our own) Real Exoplanets (Adds confirmed exoplanets) Realism Overhaul (Makes things significantly more realistic) RSSVE (Better visuals) Parallax by Linx The Near Future suite by Nertea Stockalike Station Parts Redux by Nertea Far Future Technologies by Nertea Planetside Exploration Technologies (Rover parts) KSP Interstellar Extended KAS/KIS (Altering crafts in-flight) Extraplanetary Launchpads (Building things offworld) DeepFreeze (Freezes crew for the journey to avoid life support stress) Music used: Age of Wonder by Scott Buckley - The Seeding - Geoff Knorr The Titan - Andreas Waldetoft The flag used in this mission is from Dermot McDonagh: Disclaimers: The debug menu was used during this mission to avoid nasty bugs caused by being on an exoplanet among other problems, though rest assured that the only times I used the debug menu were for getting around these bugs. Additionally, I custom-configured many parts to function properly with Realism Overhaul and to meet the requirements for my mission. Do not expect your game to behave the same way with the same mods I used. Also I’m aware that in the thumbnail I wrote “Nearest Star,“ what I mean is the nearest star to us other than Sol.
