One of those (good) KSP moments


Recommended Posts

You can only do things for the first time once... So over time you lose that "wow" factor when doing things... I guess we all have that going on, yeah Duna's pretty, been there done that, got the screenshot.

But I haven't played KSP for several months and yesterday I decided to fire it up again and do a return mission from OPM's Tekto.

Plan, build, take off, maneuvers, tweaks, checks the SCANSat map to find a place to touch down... Landed, excellent, take that!, EVA, hmm these ladders... I don't know... Don't you fall you green stand-up guy. Flag... Picture time for posterity and... it hit me.

There I was, alone, looking at that rocket with the sun blasting away some photons on the distance... Sarnus floating above the clouds witnessing it all, perhaps laughing at me, perhaps sad for me. I don't know. And the rocket. My ticket out of this moon that's supposed to take me back to my ship. I shall rendezvous and head back. Wait for the a transfer opportunity and "Hohmann it" to oblivion. No fuel to waste.  Maybe I'll use the Mun to assist on braking, and perhaps those puny nukes as a sacrificial heat shield on Kerbin atmosphere too. Will I have enough thrust to slow down? I came here with 0.25 TWR so... should be good on the way back too.  Will my parachutes be enough? I better aim for an ocean just in case. That if I have enough mono-propellant to actually rendezvous in the first place.

But all that is in the future, something that will happen later... Or will it? I don't know, my fate rests on that green tainted rocket. MechJeb said it was okay. I just hope it was right and the real Jeb can come home some day... But for now, just enjoy the view my little friend, might be the last time we see something at all. :D
