my guy, you've been killing it with these videos. it always makes my day when you upload. keep it up chief.

[@Echo3]

Thank you, kind internet stranger.

Nice video! Modeled after the biography of John Glenn?

[@Echo3]

Bill is listed 3rd in the group of four, so I took inspiration from John Glenn who was the 3rd into space for the Mercury seven.

What a good video my friend. It gave me much "right stuff" vibes eh.
Before the pilot, science, engineer class I too roleplayed Bill as a pilot. He was always my favorite little kerbal!

[@Echo3]

In the early days of NASA, all of the astronauts started their careers as Pilots with many having degrees in science/engineering.

You make videos better than some movies I have watched!

[@Echo3]

Thanks. I don't know if this is actually good or that most modern movies are just that bad.

I'm hoping for that too.

It's modeled after an F-101

[@Johannes_K]

I am assuming this series is based of the kerbals real life counterparts?

[@Echo3]

Yes. I borrowed heavily from the the stories about the Mercury 7

Hey, which mods do you use for the cockpits? i have couple but they arent that good

[@Echo3]

Do you mean for the cockpit interiors? I'm using ASET and airplane plus IVA pack

[@janhovde5598]

Is this gonna evolve into the next war story ksp series?

[@Echo3]

It's the backstory for the original four. There will be some crossover with the Kold War.

[@victor_silva6142]

I like that all stories share the same "universe" (save file?)

[@Echo3]

@@victor_silva6142 not exactly the same save file. I had to start a new career to access the lower stage facilities. But many of the crafts came from the Kold War save.

Whats this video about?

About Bill’s backstory

[@Echo3]

It's the start of a new series covering the backstory of the original four. This is episode one covering Bill.

[@victor_silva6142]

​@@Echo3 reminds me a similar series made by Nassault years ago. Also starring the original 3 brothers!

[@Echo3]

@@victor_silva6142 I'm not going to have them be related like that, but I thought a backstory series would be fun to make. Obviously taking inspiration from the Mercury 7.

[@mrwatcheye108]

Kerbal Space program 2?????!!??

[@Echo3]

For parts of the video.

[@pilky7]

Is this canon to the kold war?

[@Echo3]

It's not contradictory.
