Thanks! It took a few years. over 1000 days I think

Thanks! It took several years. Those kerbals sure are patient

Hey there! So this is my first KSP forums post, so be nice. This was my first Tylo landing attempt, and it was a success despite one mistake I made very early on that had a huge effect on the mission. My plan involved the Tylo lander getting back into orbit with very little fuel left (almost none, as it turned out) and use their crew module/return vehicle to rendezvous with them using a probe body that I was suppose to have already on the vehicle, but had forgot to add on back in the VAB. this meant that after I made the landing my three Kerbals were stuck in a very low Tylo orbit. However, Jebediah Kerman being the brave Kerbalnaut that he is, managed to make an EVA rendezvous with the crew module and rendezvous back with Bill and Bob who were waiting patiently in the lander. from there the return mission was easy. This mission required 4 launches; one to put the lander/drive stage in LKO, one to launch the main fuel tank for the mission, one for the crew module/return vehicle, and finally a tanker to refuel everything before I left LKO for Jool. The lander, Ready for launch The Fuel tanker, which I launched twice, once for the actual spacecraft and once for just simply refueling And the Crew module, with Jeb, Bill, and Bob on board. Docking the Lander and fuel tank in LKO Docking the second Tanker Docking the Crew Module, refueling everything Re-arranging the ships to get rid of the unwanted tanker Heading off to Jool! Tylo Encounter... Getting rid of the empty fuel tank, docking crew module directly to lander Putting the kerbals in the lander "lawn chairs." using the new rover seats instead of a three man capsule let me greatly cut down on weight. De-Orbit burn! Staging away the nuclear rockets, deploying landing gear Final Descent! Landed!!!! Publicity Shot Taking off Getting into orbit Pretty much out of fuel. in a stable orbit though. Jeb, on his way to rendezvous with the crew module Rendezvousing with Bob and Bill Ditching the docking port, ready to go home Goodbye, Tylo Dropping into a tight Jool Periapsis before making the interplanetary transfer burn Leaving the Joolian System Home! Please comment with suggestions and stuff.
