Alright bro’s good and bad news. The good news is that I’ve resized the modules to fit in a 3.75 meter cargo bay, so our Starship clone can indeed lift these. The bad news is that I still have yet to design a drive stage for the modules.

In other news I’ve completed the crewed Ascent/Descent vehicle. It can carry 8 down to the surface and back while hung fully reusable. I’ve made adjustments to the ISRU module and now I can fuel the thing up in about a month which is great. Landing 8 crew at a time reduced the number of trips to just 20 crewed landings which is not that bad. But yeah the ISRU module is fed charge from the solar-powered Power module, which fuels up the “Fuel Rover” which then fills up the DADV’s tanks in two trips. It’s pretty cool.

Last bit of news is kinda bad. The base barely operates with Kerbin’s level of solar energy. I don’t know if I’ll be able to power mining operations on Duna at this point.
