Mission Duna

[KnedlikMCPE]

Mission Duna is a project to colonize Duna, the red planet.

 

First mission will be a robotic rover to Duna. Rover will be scientific and will do bunch of experiments. Next info will be avaible soon.

One option is to go full kerbal and send an base or at least an manned mission. 
Note that the time to return window might be so long an base and an crew rotation mission makes most sense. 

 An sample, or in this setting science return mission is interesting, however putting stuff into Duna orbit also very useful you also want resource scans. One option is an fast run probe mission following by an minimum cost manned one.

Redecorate?  The whole pool-ball thing is good but I've always thought it would be funnier if it was a spot instead of a stripe, especially with a number painted on it.

Send a kermanned rover to identify and plant a flag at the landing site for the future colony.  You want somewhere flat, low (so parachutes do something) and with enough ore to actually be worth drilling.

Or send a kermanned Duna plane, because making something that flies on Duna is always interestingly difficult. (I recommend a modded electric engine of some kind!)

I normally send a robust robotic rover with an ore scanner as soon as I have comms secured.

Then I can prospect for a good (and flat) site, and use the rover as marker.
