Veterans show your firsts...

[blspblackdeath]

I just have found a picture of one of my first munlandings. I was so happy that I needed to share it with you:

18 March 2012

If you've liked it show me your firsts from earlier versions of the game.

Haven't got pictures (on mobile device) but my first was with a mod, this was before landing legs (wow is it that long ago) but I finally landed using the Luna, from down under aerospace mod. Good times. My rockets would never have made it. Maybe they would, but my piloting was bad. Who knows?

[Vanamonde]

First Kerbals to land on Mun (alive): June 9th, 2012.

[Guest]

First (and so far, only) landing atop the VAB in version 0.18.2. Purely unintentional!

[Lordherrmann]

I don't know if I can find any pictures of it, but my first mun landing was the day 0.12 came out, using winglets as landing legs.

[Camelotking524]

My first Mun lander

[Felsmak]

Does this count?

[SteevyT]

First rocket capable of orbit as best as I can remember. The dark side of the planet was still instant death, and the planet didn't rotate. There was no Mun.

"The dark side of the planet was still instant death"

What?

[SteevyT]

"The dark side of the planet was still instant death"

What?

It used to be that if you landed on the dark side of the planet your ship instantly exploded.

O.o *Starts digging*

Found it !

Landing legs didnt exist at the time. but the mun sure did

Independence Day?

[707-Engineering]

Independence Day?

Well.. we have a few choices to fill in my missing memory of the event, Kerbal eclipse, Alien mothership, Bug, Hill shadow, and my all time favorite : Thats the size of the camera

Why?

I bet Jeb enjoyed that

[PrISM]

First time.

[RoboRay]

My first Mun landing...

0.16, I believe, around August/September 2012.

Awesome guys, sweet memories are coming back.

[Seanoog]

Why?

I bet Jeb enjoyed that

Some thing to do with the way the Terrain was handled differently compared to be lite/non-lite at night.

But I do remember it myself, as been a laughable bug...

One of my First Mun landings.

Back in the 13.2 Builds, around the time I lead a community Mun Base; I landed on the Mun weeks before this picture was taken, but for the life of me, can't find a picture.

[Tokay Gris]

That actually was my first landing... Well, there was a probe before that one and it can hardly be called "landing" unless you think "crashing into the ground and making a medium sized crater" is landing...

No mechjeb, no nothing, just stock parts... I was pretty proud of those three.

[Spatzimaus]

My first Duna landing:

It was actually my first successful landing ANYWHERE. I'd had an aborted attempt to land on Mun, so I figured I'd try for Minmus instead due to its lower gravity. But Mun just happened to be in the way on the trajectory there, so instead I figured I'd try for Ike. Arriving at Duna, I was in a horrible polar orbit that made Ike too difficult, so I figured I'd try for Duna instead, even though I figured I'd fail and have to start over. I didn't realize you could re-pack parachutes in orbit, so I landed without chutes to save them for the Kerbin return. Somehow, I landed successfully, took off again, and returned to Kerbin's SOI. I ran out of fuel just after decelerating at Kerbin, giving me an orbit about the size of Mun's, and then had to use RCS to intersect the atmosphere. In the end, I landed with 7 units of RCS fuel remaining.

Thus was born the legend of Jeb, the Kerbonaut who just wouldn't fail. Soon after he did a trip (in the same ship design) that landed on both Minmus and Mun, and now he's just finishing up a grand tour having landed on every planet and moon other than Moho and Jool. (He's on his way to Moho now.) And he just won't ever die...

[White Owl]

My first Mun landing, having challenged myself to do it with a spaceplane:

[The Destroyer]

I deleted my old 0.13.3 photos a long time ago. And, that was on another computer.

So....

(there is a photo here, might take a sec to load, imgur is being a FLUFFY BUNNY right now.)

[leax256]

I played back in .12 but I was never able to land, actually i didn't know there was a mun, also i didn't know there was a screenshot button till I actually bought the game.

[SmallChange]

First Kirbin escape for me! .8.5 (Now with CapsLock!)

No idea what the launch vehicle was... Heck, might have been using some rather cheaty mod parts. Like I said, this was a while ago!

[katateochi]

Here is my first Mun landing. Made it back home with this craft too.

This was version 0.15 I think;
