Launching A Permanent Mun Base


Kottabos

Recommended Posts

Hello again all, after my "successful" mission of getting Jebediah to the Mun .... though not back from it yet, I decided to send up an actual permanent station to the mun. I learned a few things from the Jeb mission, mainly fuel consumption issues, and was able to get my new base safely on the munar surface (inadvertently close to a mun arch lol :cool:). Heres the vid, hope you all enjoy it:

Really great video and welcome! Some tips would be to use nuclear engines on the landing stage and instead of the mainsails use 4 smaller engines for each tank. Both of the tips will give your more fuel. Fly safe and great job!

Welcome to the community Kottabos :)

Hmm, so rather then rescue them, you send them some company? Good idea, return trips are so last year :D

Have fun making more vids and fly safe!

eh I'll bring them back eventually, my current plan is to send a few missions up with different things. So this mission was to basically find somewhere to land, the next mission will be to get a crew with a rover up and then lastly a mission to send a vehicle that can get them back home. Which for that one I was thinking some sort of fairy between the mun and my space station orbiting kerban.

nuclear engine on the landing stage? interesting I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the tips, I'll have to give them a go as I am always so paranoid when it comes to my fuel consumption.
