How Not To Land On The Mun

[The Jedi Master]

It was to be a routine mission--land on the Mun and return to Kerbin afterwards. Unfortunately, adding a nuclear engine to the standard Mun lander seems to have removed the fuel ducts. Meaning that the nuclear engine ran out of fuel on the way down. The good news is, through the magic of fuel crossfeed, the Kerbals were saved. The bad news is... well...

KSC forced the pilot, Phildo, to get out and plant a flag as punishment.

Yes, we will be sending a rescue mission. However, Phildo probably won't really be fired, merely "moved to the SSTO program"...

lol "moved to the SSTO program"

if your SSTO program is anything like mine, that means sure death

Sush! We'll need more Kerbonauts after him, we need PR!

Time to plan a rescue mission. Good excuse to earn your 'Kerbal saved' badge

(Nothing is a complete failure. It can always be used as an example how it should NOT be done.)

The ship lands nicely.

So, Jenny tries to go over. Well, he slides a kilometer on his face, and then...

And he still has 5.6 kilometers to go. And I forgot to quicksave before the EVA.

It's that moment of dawning comprehension that I live for.

For a minute, I was like, "Oh, I can spare 24 minutes", but then I read the rest.

I might end the flight, for his sake.
