Von Braun's Trip Around The Moon

Description
EDIT: Fixed the docking ports on Mars and Earth. They no longer rotate with the torus.

Inspired by Wernher Von Braun's concepts of a mission to The Moon, this addons features the tools to make said trip possible. This is "inspired by" and it is not a 1-to-1 recreation of his concepts. I've re-designed the spacecrafts to fit a closer-to-nasa look from the 1960s
-

The Addon includes:

+Controllable Interplanetary Ship (Luna Rocket), based on the Retriever Spacecraft.
+Controllable Torus Station (Luna One), based on his Wheel Shaped Station.
+3 Orbiting Torus Stations (Earth, Moon and Mars), equal to the one above.
Each Luna One Station has 4 docking ports, in which the Luna Rocket can attach itself
-

"CheatsMenu true" on the config file is recommended just in case you need help docking the Rocket Ship into the Station, as it allows you to instantaneously attach the ship into the docking port

Love the mod though Retro - it's got a real "For All Mankind" vibe.

I was thinking that might be the case. Something to do with them being in static orbits?

Docking issues are bugs with SE.

I am aware of the docking issues. I worked endlessly before releasing it to get it to work. It worked. Pushed it to workshop and then the issues started again. I just don't know. Gave up but I'll leave it there

Hmm, or something. I just docked with the Moon station and the port was invisible, about 200m away from the station itself, not rotating. Once I docked, the ship snapped back to the visual position of the port.

Really nice work! One issue, the docking ports (the ports themselves, not the visual indicators) appear to be tied to the rotating ring on at least Docking Ports Earth. I was wondering why I couldn't dock, then I noticed that when I was stationary next to the port, the distance to port was changing. They're also several hundred metres out.
