The Primitive Orbital Station is just that, a P.O.S. habitation module constructed of low-tech, low cost parts, designed to be launched by a trio of highly violent and explosive solid rocket boosters for reasons that can only be stated as el-cheapo aerospace engineering.
The launch goes without a hitch but the crew transfer vehicle lost control after jettisoning its cockpit / nose cone, so Space Engineer Bill had to maneuver the powerless module *by hand* until the POS-1 could safely dock with it!
A resupply tanker was then flown to the station to test high speed orbital interception techniques - Bill once again unloaded its cargo container by hand and attached life support tanks, additional RCS thrusters and enough snacks to last 61 days in space.
This is Bill's first time using the Kerbal Inventory System (KIS) mod and we're very thankful KIS has an in-game manual you could stuff into the cargo container itself!
