Curiosity stronger than gravity - Target: Duna

[fraczus]

I decided to land on all planets and moons. First target of course after Mun and Minmus is obviously Duna. After few days of building and unsuccessful flays I finally did it! I called my ship " Curiosity 2" (Curiosity 1 was send to Minmus ) It toked me 26 Kerbal's years. So after this short introduction I invite you to watch some screens

That's it. Thanks for watching and wait to some new screens. Next target: Dunas pole and Ike

I see you're dispatching colonists rather than explorers (no provision for return). That certainly simplifies things. I've used this approach on a couple of them, too.

I'll try to get back on Kerbin but I wanted first just to land on Duna It was hard to me because I wasn't used any mods or MechJeb ( I mean only stock parts). Otherwise I made an orbit beetween Duna and Eve so i had no so much fuel and I flew into Dunas atmosphere too fast That's why i lost my engine and fuel tank

[AmpsterMan]

At least you landed on Duna mate. I still haven't left Kerbin's Sphere of Influence! Congratulations.
