Has been a while, but I fondly remember my first (and so far only) manned duna mission. All went well, but I used more fuel than expected during landing (due to the inefficency of the parachutes). I barely made it into orbit and my return vessel had to go into a much lower orbit to pick up the crew. I barely had any fuel left when I got back into Kerbin SOI and only got Pe into Atmosphere so closely. Took a few (long) orbits to finally land. (To be fair, I gave no .... about transfer windows, so I could have made it much more safe)

After taking a break from KSP for a month or two, I'm excited to see that .90 has gone experimental and I'm officially joining the hype space train!

Not doing any (voluntary) one way missions is the reason that Duna is the farthest I got so far! I actually had to do a rescue mission for the rescue mission on my first visit to duna...

Haha I was recently starting to recover landed astronauts by sending a plane to pick them up. Still having a lot of problem building a long distance plane that makes it half around the planet and back.....

Yes I work by guestimation. My crafts are usually way overpowered and my duna rocket was probably powerfull enough to get to Jool. I plan on getting more into the math part of things once the career mode comes. Right now in sandbox you just don't have to look into cost effiancy of your crafts...

For me the rendevouz became a lot easier after I learned to read the markers on the navball correctly. When i get within 10km it's all about killing relative velocity and approaching again and again for me. Don't know if that's the most efficient way to do it but it works for me. The actual docking part is harder but I usually manage it in a "close enough" kind of way...

That duna arrival and landing looked incredible...very well done...

what's going on here? For some reason I can't see the Opening Post....

yep....helped me so much when I discovered how to correctly use them. For longer burns they're not as usably but still helpful...

Not accusing Airbornem of anything but that would be a great way to find out pirates. If the game finds out that you've pirated the game the smoke gets black and the engines loose 90% of their thrust.

This looks great. Makes me wish for larger SBR though (for the first stage)....

I love those moments when you launch and you hear something breaking. You go like "hmm I'm pretty sure I saw something fall off.....but we're going straight up with good acceleration so let's leave it at that...."

So your next challange needs to be to get a rover up there that is able to flip the rocket around. Get poor Lenger out of there and back to earth! [edit] oh i see he's already dead....poor guy...

So how about some IVA? Is it bigger on the inside?
