Well the good day has come. Destiny is finnaly on the stack, the gantry is nearing completion and i have several scripters that would love to work on her. It's time for flight training and mission requests.
Below are photos of the white room, a look from the gantry what she would look like after getting off the elevator and several overall views.

Destiny Flight Simulator (DFS)

Construction on the Destiny launch, flight and landing simulator has begun. I am holding a contest to see who can build the best simulator that will be modeled after Destiny's cockpit. Best design gets a spot on Destiny I!

Destiny is moving up, the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) has been erected at Flightsim HQ.
The Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB)'s have arrived as well as the External fuel Tank (ET). the elements are being prepared to be stacked on the main assembly and the launch gantry has just broken ground and started construction.

Here are some photos of my new VAB.
some are of it still in construction like the first one for example is one showing the doors retracted and 2 side panels still being placed.

These are just random photos taken of the Destiny Deep space shuttle including the rear airstair engine room, cockpit, docking/boarding hatch, passenger quarters, electrical compartment and the overall image of the shuttle

Project Destiny overview

Destiny will launch on a stack similar to that of the space shuttle. once in orbit it will dock to the international space station to load up on supplies, food and fuel. from there destiny will undock and fire her engines to leave earths orbit and start a trajectory to mars. once in martian orbit destiny will deorbit, enter the martian atmosphere and land on a pre setup runway, her wing tips will swivel down and act as landing gear. this is due to the fact that martian soil would destroy tires. after the mission duration on the martian surface is over destiny will fire her engines takeoff like a plane from the martian surface and enter martian orbit. from there she will leave martian orbit and start a trajectory for earth. once in earths orbit she will de-orbit and re enter earths atmosphere. after reentry she will land like the space shuttle the main diffrence being that the wingtip skids will again act as the landing gear. from there the crew will recieve a hero's welcome.
