Red Launch Red Rocket Carnival: Weekdays From Cape Carnival

[Navigata07]

I am but I continue to have problems acquiring parts for the IR telescope. Seems to be the bane of my existence.

I'm assuming you're flying a couple giants to Plesetsk and clicking on neighbor's planetariums?

I am hitting planetariums every night, but still don’t own any giants. On the list to get but I just finished CT10 which wiped out my funds. They’re on the list.

What happens is that I go thru a period where I have 4 or 5 of all the IR components except 1. Last time it was the astrograph. Currently it’s the passage instrument. I will eventually get the missing part and then I will use up the supply of a different part which will become the new, impossible to get part. This has been going on long enough it looks like a pattern. Doesn’t happen that way in my support game (where I also don’t have any giants). There I seem to get a truly random distribution of each part type for the IRT.

Murphy’s Law at its finest.

Getting the giants will help quite a bit. The jumbos to jiuquan will help in the meantime, and any rocket gardens you may have. Keep at it; you'll eventually get there

Ok with rocket 2 off the pad at 16:20 utc, that will be our launch time, with a preboarding time of about 4 mins. Let's sign up for spots; I'll take 3rd, and @Dodo is captain I believe.
