Sea recovery and return home!


Recommended Posts

So with 0.16\'s EVA function, I thought I\'d try doing a sea rescue after splashdown.

Addons used were:

Tosh\'s amphibious gear

Taverius\' rebalanced spaceplane parts

Jeb has been to the Mun in Mun Goer I.

After a successful mission (involving running around like a loon until he got tired), he has returned to Kerbin, splashing down somewhere east of the KSC.

It\'s a bit of a swim for Jeb... :o

I love that before/after combination of the plane landing and then the ..result.

Nice job though, it\'s a challenge to land the crew close to KSP to make it viable to send another ship to rescue the crew. This may be my next goal for mission/ship creation.
