dutchy45 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 At last. Today I got a rocket to crash on Mun. I've had a handful that reached the Mun's SOI and flew past it, achieving some interesting flight paths due to the Oberth effect. I feel like bragging so I decided to post here. I had to make an executive decision to sacrifice 1 of my Kerbals to achieve this. Camnand Kerman bravely voluntered. His last words are now the unofficial motto for the space program. For science. For progress. For Kerbalkind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Congratulations on your success getting to the surface of the Mun! Next try for a soft landing. Maybe with a return to Kerbin. Happy landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy45 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 First, let's see if I can do it again. Then an orbiter. After that I can start to contemplate a landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thyroid Man Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The very first step to an interplanetary career. I remember my first Mun crashing...... I was unaware of which direction I was facing, (I was on the night side and didn't know how to use the navball ) but I was speeding up to a collision course straight into the mun. I quickly burnt all of my fuel in an attempt to slow down.... and plowed into the Mun terrain at over 1000 m/s. Those were the days... Happy crashings!
