I have rolled out a new set of achievements and they are all related to the Historic Missions that was recently added to the game.
Have you got any suggestions for other achievements that could make sense for this game?
NOTE: Another minor update (0.99.38) was released after this with a hot fix for the Achievement Unlocking logic. Thanks for helping me test this Revenant.
TL;DR
*Todays patch contains logic that will unlock these achievements when you complete any of the historic missions, or if you have previously completed the missions. In addition, the patch contains a fix for the Mercury ECS Steam vent and Excess H2O warning light issue that has been reported a few times recently.*
The Historic Missions and their new achievements
The historic missions is a new addition to the game where I have done everything in my power to create detailed, realistic and immersive missions to let you experience how real space flight was.
By using the real flight plan, mission transcripts, and real audio between mission control and the crew, I hope this brings a valuable historic window of how it was to be an astronaut.
To award you for completing these experiences, I have rolled out a dedicated achievement for each of them.
MR-3: Freedom 7
This was NASA and Americas first mission to space where Alan Shepard flew the Mercury-Redstone 3 capsule on a sub-orbital trajectory to space and back, a mission lasting 15 minutes. However, the work load is quite intense during the few minutes of weightlessness.

MR-4: Liberty Bell 7
This was NASA and Americas second mission to space where Gus Grissom flew the Mercury-Redstone 4 capsule on a sub-orbital trajectory to space and back. The mission was similar to MR-3 but with different tests and exercises in orbit.

MA-6: Friendship 7
The Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, flown by John Glenn, was the first American mission to reach an orbit around Earth. This is probably, imo, the best outcome of the historic missions I have created. You get to experience Earth orbit, its sunsets and sunrises, fireflies in orbit, and the ultimate challenge of handling issues as they happened in real life.

GT-3: The Molly Brown
After the Mercury Program, the Gemini Project returned astronauts to space in a more advanced space craft with an on-board computer and orbital maneuvering capabilities. The Gemini-Titan 3 mission covers the first crewed Gemini mission where Gus Grissom and John Young flew three low Earth orbits in their spacecraft. This is the mission where a Corned Beef Ham Sandwich was "smuggled" onboard.
Apollo 13: Odyssey & Aquarius
The Apollo 13 mission is probably one of the most known missions into Space where Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise had to fight for survival as their Command Module was crippled in Space. This is the biggest campaign I have designed for Reentry - A Space Flight Simulator. The mission is split up into over 20 chapters, with a total in-game play time of up to 20 hours.

Mercury ECS: Excess H2O Warning Lights
I have rolled out a fix that caused the Excess H2O warning lights to illuminated and trigger the alarm tone when switching between cabin lighting settings, power modes, etc.
