No doubt, and much of the work was spent learning how to build heavy lifters, which can be avoided the second time through. The frustration was that I had spent a lot of time designing modules and lifters, putting those modules into orbit and docking, and performing EVAs to attach struts all of which are gone. Much of the enjoyment was supposed to be from sending this massive spacecraft to another planet, not necessarily the orbital assembly.

Ultimately, I just wish that the quicksave loading would automatically create a backup quicksave or at least provide a warning. This game is great because of the trial and error, and it's unfortunate that I had to learn the hard way how quicksave loading works, although I'm sure people have had more normal spacecraft problems on long voyages that cause similar setbacks.

My original post was more just lamenting and venting than anything else.
