Ultimate Moho 6 Expedition

[Zhetaan]

@antipro:

One thing I'll add that I did not see anywhere else in here is that the contract says to land on Kerbin.  This means that you have to land on land; splashdown does not count.  I've seen a few posts in the Gameplay Questions forum from people who did ultimate tours, returned to Kerbin, and found that the contract did not complete because the game considers the KerbinSplashed state to be different from KerbinLanded.  Of course, this only came up after the craft was recovered, so I'm sure there have been more than a few ragequits over it.  I don't know whether they've fixed that in new updates, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I'm sure that goes for Eve, as well, but since you're generally looking for a mountaintop landing on Eve, it's not really something you'd need to concern yourself with.

Sounds cool no?

Ah. An acceptable answer for anything in KSP; "cuz it looks cool". I'm with ya.

As for the launch; throw up a post when you go for it. This is a cool mission. I'm interested to see how it works out.

Now  I'm wondering about  designing a vessel shaped like a Mobius Strip...

Hey, @antipro, I've watched your latest videos a couple times now and I can't quite figure out what's going on. Using my phone, as usual, so I can't get a real good look. The docking video is pretty straightforward, but the other one has me somewhat mystified. I know it's labeled "software fail", but I can't tell if that was an aborted launch or a failed test or something else. Could you elaborate a bit on what you've got going on? I definitely find this mission interesting. Thanks.

it is only a joke, cause I've seen that post-it inside the pod.

anyway...I did it:

I've experienced some heat/power problems on gilly during refuel, the nuclear ship had some issues such as low batteries, few fotovoltaic panels/radiators, it also need a little more fuel, I've arrived on moho empty.
on moho it can be refuel in 1 day, only daylight time, fortunately moho has a long day.

it's a cool mission and not so hard as I imagined, but it's so long that you need tons of snacks to complete it. =^.^=

Now imagine if you had done the mission without an engineer along. 

Good job, though. I still plan to get to this one eventually. I wanna do it without the drills (and I don't use nukes), so I'm guessing the ship will probably be on the large side.

Well,  if we remove the Kerbal Factor,  only the human remains as probably cause of failure.
