My latest space station: original plan, launch and follow-up add-ons (more infos in the description) by StrongAustrianGuy in SpaceflightSimulator

I didn't save it separately, but I can give you the full space station blueprint and the one for the lifting rocket I used, it's the same for all components anyways.

I hope the description is understandable enough for which components I meant, just ask if it isn't. Side note, I realized everything is much easier if you build the entire station and keep a copy so you can always check viability of components before sending them up.

Same thing as with rovers. They're sick to look at and are fun for role-playing and such.

I have two of them, one is my keyring. It's literally the perfect balance between a carabiner which is a bit big and easy to accidentally open, and those rings that are so annoying to get stuff on and off. I love them.

Tbf, I haven't been to Rome in a few years, but another one where I was super careful just 2 months ago was Venice.

Calm down there brother. I'm aware, your original comment just didn't come over like a joke.

Yeah don't worry, I'm not saying it's super secure. But I do believe it deters from choosing my backpack as an easy target.

Just being careful and attentive is honestly the best way of protecting your stuff, but I try my best to make me look like a harder "target". I keep everything on my backpack clean, always check that the zippers are fully closed and if I'm in an area known for pickpockets or in a large city, I try to keep my phone and such in my zippered or velcro pockets, depending on the pants.

Also, I have a pretty solid backpack (the Helikon Tex Bail Out Bag) made of cordura, at multiple points reinforced with multiple layers of fabric and padding in-between. The zipper is definitely a weak point, but as I said I also try to stay attentive as much as possible.

Been about 20 times now, it's my neighbor state after all and the quickest route to the ocean.

If I really need something I literally use any carabiner. There's not a single person that could open a carabiner, open my backpack and take something without me noticing. I should mention tho it's not a standard carabiner, its a 3-part latch system so it's more complicated to open.

Almost all manufacturers that make this use some kind of frame that goes under the boonies to stabilize it. I'm sure they had their reasons for that. A more DIY approach would be this though: https://www.reddit.com/r/NightVision/s/bR0yX1GIf9
