Earth (launchpad, KSC)

This is the first location.

(orbital view)

sprite

this is a surface base... so should the sprite be a surface base? or perhaps we are docking with an orbital station which is frequently resupplied by the surface base?

Mars

(hand wave to arrive at Phobos station)? TODO

Ceres (either orbital view or redneck asteroid miners?)

post-v1 locations

locations which may get included in later versions of the game

Saturn (hand wave to arrive at Titan Station)

Uranus (hand wave to arrive at L1 space station)
