I'm sad to say that so far, eleven Kerbals have died in their efforts to rescue Jebediah, not Bill. My ship won't take off for some reason, and I can't figure out why. It just won't lift. Maybe the flaps are put on incorrectly. I eventually decided to try the stock planes... I was able to reach Jeb, but I couldn't successfully land on the water. The one time my plane didn't break, it landed upside down. The air intake vents wouldn't function underwater. Thanks for the help. I will continue trying to save him tomorrow. No wings. Oops! Posed for a picture and the plane rolled away. Who forgot the parking brake?? "That'll buff out!" To answer what somebody said earlier, I'm not new to the game, but I don't know very much about it. I've only played for a few hours. Any advice to make this easier? Thanks.
