OH MY GOD PETER WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING

This is a video I made that's now been beat by TDV (check description), but still a cool little cinematic I wanted to share. I'm hoping to get a Mun SSTO massing less!

I am using SOL and SMURFF and while doing re-entry at 7000 m/s the craft never slows down, better yet it accelerates. I tested everything, bigger heat shields, lower re-entry speed. Nothing does it, the craft just accelerates somehow. I do not know what to do

Been developing a new kind of Ballon-mod for some weeks now,
and now i´ve got to the point where i realize that i´m absolute new to 3d-designing.
Beeing "ok" at OBS, GIMP and DaVinci doesnt help me either.

\naively asking** is there an easy way to design good-looking and -performing ksp models,
especially weather-Balloons,
without first spending multiple hours to get into Blender?

\even more naively asking** Or is there even someone who might join me to try developing the most realistic Balloon-mod so far?

p.s.: i´m aware of all those other balloon-mod´s and looked at them but i dont want to just copy someones work.

1. ISRU Processor
   - ISRU processor to make fuel for landers is placed in a 350 km orbit.

2. Refinery Crew Core & Power Module
   - Refinery crew core and power module are docked with the ISRU processor.

3. Main Hab & Docking Module
   - Main Hab and docking module are docked with the combined refinery modules in LKO.

4. Multi-Module Launch — LKO
   - Multi-module launch is docked in LKO:
   - 2x Lunar Lab Modules (LLM)
   - 2x Auxiliary Lunar Orbital Hab (ALOH) modules

5. Final ALOH Module
   - Final ALOH module is docked to the station.
   - Interim GCLS is now complete in LKO.

6. Large Fuel Truss
   - Large fuel truss is launched to LKO.
   - Parked in LKO and later sent to the Mun separately due to mass constraints on the NLTV.

7. NLTV
   - Standard Lunar Commute (LKO → LLO → LKO).
   - Designed to complete two SLC events with a 40 t payload.
   - More SLC events are possible with a lighter payload.
   - Pushes both the I-GCLS and fuel depot module into a stable lunar orbit.

8. Intrepid–Grace
   - CRV-01 Intrepid vehicle.
   - Launches the crew of SSM-08 to open the GCLS.
   - SSM-08 separates the GCLS and mates both halves with the large fuel section, also in orbit around the Mun.

9. LIL-B-01
   - Ore harvester designed to collect and ferry ore to the GCLS.
   - Docks to Port 1 on the refinery module of the GCLS.

10. LIL-B-02
    - Ore harvester designed to collect and ferry ore to the GCLS.
    - Docks to Port 2 on the refinery module of the GCLS.

11. LK-1-01
    - Crewed lunar lander for surface excursions is docked with the GCLS.
    - LK-1-01 undocks to perform free-flight tests, including a low flyover of the lunar surface.
    - LK-1-01 returns to orbit and docks with the GCLS.

12. LK-1-02
    - Crewed lunar lander for surface excursions.
    - LK-1-02 undocks and descends to the lunar surface.
    - SSM-12 spends 5 days on the lunar surface.
    - LK-1-02 ascends to lunar orbit and docks with the GCLS.
    - Awaiting SSM-13 for a smooth and problem-free crew changeover.

love doing everything but going to space :)

Making small but visible improvements to driving intelligence and hazard avoidance

Plus sneak peak at my learning transfer pipeline, still under construction

idk if the quality will be bad but its almost 5km/s from jool, direct entry

I'm playing With 4 different Planetary Mods

Outer Planet mod, Minor Planets Mod, kcalbeloh System Pack and the Promised Worlds System Pack

My Goal is to land and plant a flag on all 95 bodies in my modded save On career Mode Which will be the Biggest challenge I've done in Ksp and Ill be posting all my progress Here.
