Welcome to Sherwin's Universe

I build rockets, super-tanks, and flying machines — then launch them here. Explore my missions, or step into the Lab and play the physics sims I made.

This is the Last Stage of my mission, where I used the Third stage to get into orbit and then land. Even though, on many attempts, I tried to go full speed on an escape trajectory re-entry, it was too much for the jet to handle, and it would just crumble apart.

This is the First Stage of the MSSSTOCRTL (Multi-Stage Single-Stage To Orbit Carrying Rocket To Laythe) mission. This stage consists of the launch, orbit circularization, escape burn, and transfer to Laythe (again).

This is the final Phase of my long journey. Nothing much interesting happened, other than how annoying it was to get a good encounter with Laythe, but the reentry went as expected, and a safe touchdown was made.

This is the encountering phase of my mission, and one thing you may notice is a moon that doesn't look habitable. That moon is Tylo, and I used it to do something I have never done before: a Free Capture. By using a gravity assist off Tylo, I can put myself in orbit(ish) around Jool despite originally having an escape trajectory. Even though I didn't need to do it, Extra Science + Looks Cool.

This is the launch and transfer stage of my long endeavor to set a science probe on Laythe, Jool's only habitable moon and the only habitable body that isn't the starting location, Kerbin (Earth analog).

My complete Mun mission from start to finish. In fact, this is the first time I have launched a rover to an extraterrestrial body.
