    Curious George
  1. My Most Bad-Ass KSP moment: I was exploring Duna - with Jeb, Bill and Bob. The landing was a bit hot and the chutes didn't deploy high enough and it all went pear shaped, with everything exploding but the Capsule. Jebediah was all like '....s given = 0' Send up an unmanned rocket for epic Rescue mission of doom - landing on Duna this time ate up a large amount of DeltaV - but managed to land only 600 meters away from the capsule. Kerbals transferred to new ship - ready to embark home. Make slight error in my Transfer back to Kerbin - get stuck orbiting the sun with sweet FA worth of DeltaV left, no Electrical charge (all my Solar panels broke) and no RCS Jebediah still unable to register a single .... given. After some epic time warping (20 years worth) and some serious application of Anti-Aging cream (Jeb looks just the same as when he left for Duna) I am able to transfer to Kerbins sphere of influence - 80 m/s worth of DeltaV left. Course correction as I enter the sphere of influence to hit my Kerbin Periapsis at 10,000 m - I now have 20 m/s left. As I approach Kerbin, my periapsis rises, to outside the atmosphere. Jebediah takes it all in his stride, does not bequeth a single fornication and makes another course correction - 3 m/s of DeltaV left - We enter in fast, with the chutes deployed, but we are still travelling fast enough to escape into orbit again Jebediah takes stock of the situation and knows that on the next pass he will land safely. As predicated the landing is good - 1,500 science later from all my experiments stored in the 2 capsules, 20 years and a succesful landing with 3 m/s to spare. Jebediah didn't flinch once....
