Rescue them. And accept more rescue Missions, this way you'll get new employees for free.

Please... Only germans will get the whole joke.

Is that a moon or a thermonuclear explosion?

If your vessels happen to arrive at the same time (wich is really unlikely, even if you make the transfer at about the same time), you can change the time of arrival with a mid-course maneuver. For that, make a maneuver and pull it a bit in Radial-Direction and compensate with prograde/retrograde tweaks.

I'd like to have something more crazy in the game. A planet with some really extreme topography, where the highest peaks stick out of the atmosphere and the lowest valleys are so deep that the atmosphere there makes any engine impossible to use => you have to use rovers to get out of there. Right now, I'm learning how to create such a planet with Kopernikus.

This is a pretty good tutorial on how to get to Gilly. If you really want to land on Eve, I built an Ascent Vehicle wich is pretty easy to land and Ascent with. It's pretty heavy though and it only gets your Kerbals to Low Eve Orbit, not all the way home. Get the easy to fly Eve vehicle here!

@marcushouse very nice, you make this look so easy. I guess, with raw delta v, anything can be done. It's heartwarming to see that you guys like the challenge so much, you even participate multiple times. I'm going to do it again too.

Luke Skywalker - obviously.

If you don't get, why this is stupid, look up what a Reuben's tube is actually supposed to do. I'm a big Slayer fan and yes, I have done this myself once (this is another video, we didn't record it)

This is why I'm hyped for the new update, we can build a new Apollo applications type of Rocket

Build a plane using only a single wing.

make the first stage bigger, maybe 3 or 4 FL-T400 tanks. you don't need that kind of acceleration.

I used the craft for the weekly challenge

I always thought it was a piece of dust on my Monitor

Hi fellows. I really like the mod. I just added it (with the configs provided here) as well as Scatterer to a fresh KSP install and I'm very pleased with the result. However. I just landed on the planet Eve, plunged through the beautiful clouds and suddenly: it's dark. Way too dark and for some reason, the darkness doesn't apply to everything. Fairings are still illuminated and the ground seems to be illuminated, but only in the distance. Is there a way to make i brighter on Eve's surface, maybe with different configurations? I read they the brightness on Venus' surface is comparable to the brightness on Earth's surface, so I think this should apply in the Kerbol System as well.

I suck the atmosphere away with the Mega Maid.

The craft has been updated. It's now 20% more reliable has 10% more delta-v and is 100% stock. It's now absolutely stable on reentry (no but- or be careful here and there, simply drop it through the atmosphere!) due to its new octagonal star stabilizer. Mass increased marginally and highest tech parts (vector) had to be used to improve safety on liftoff (You want to have gimbal on liftoff).

I'm working on a new iterartion, this time in a new stock imstall.

It happens in real life too

This sums up every KSP rescue mission ever:

I wouldn't do it without scansat installed

Your vehicle violates all criteria (except of being lightweight), but I'm properly amazed by what's possible in launch mass. Think I'll start again from scratch.

I tried that, it's less stable. The grid of wings has proven to be reliable, it keeps the craft pointed retrograde, even at 10g of deceleration.
