When you are short of fuel for 5 second on a Moho landing

Nice save.

That's quite a close call indeed!

How are you going to leave? I guess the base in the background has ISRU capabilities. I find that Ksp allows using RCS or Eva propellant as a thruster when in real life, it can't be. For example, I got on a escape trajectory on a Eeloo window, then my two side boosters collided with my main booster, destroying it. I had enough RCS of the 1,000 m/s correction "burn" then I ran out when I arrived, making the first manned fly-by, with no return.

indeed the base has an isru so i won't have any problem to return to orbit and meet the mothership left here.

could you put a picture of the mothership on here, I don't know exacty how to build one, at least one that Scott Manley, or most other Youtubes make.

well, it's a long long long story... especially due to the fact i play with tac life support and remotetech...

Here's the compound: made of the interplanetary pusher (on the back with nuclear engines) the base is on the center, with a rover attached above, a lander below and 3 remote techs relays behind the lander, and a refueler tanker in front....

if you are interested by the design, i have a website in very bad froggy english about the process...

i used only 2 launches : the pusher with the base, sats, rover, lander, and another one only for the refueler tanker.  This useless orange antenna bothers me each time i see it... 

I launched the tanker and refueled it on a Minmus base

Then, i got back to lko and attached it to the mothership for the journey.

Part 4 of the website is not up to date because this mission is still ongoing.

here is the pusher (mothership) with the lander in front
