  1. I hear you. I hope I never have to repeat that experience again.
  2. When you think of a scene from Interstellar and start quoting it word for word.
  3. Bigger Up Close: The Tylo Landing Completed by the "Guac" Vacuum Lander This is the only moon besides Laythe I tested the lander extensively for. This landing, and the subsequent ascent, took many tries. Many things you've already seen did, so I don't want you to get the impression that this was flawless, easy, and smooth. It was very, very hard, and I nearly gave up many times. But did I give in to the gravity wells of despair? No! Did I let my orbit of hope decay? No! Did I- "Jeb, be quiet, I can hardly hear myself think over the sound of your inspirational speech." "My bad." The Avocado's on a diet... It just keeps getting lighter and lighter. Coming up next on Journey of the Avocado: The Bop landing! And an ancient life-form?
  4. "We're glad the Lego Merchandising Program served as a useful cover-up for our true source of funding: NASA hoodies and backpacks."
  5. Granted, but it's so chaotic as to be completely useless for discussing anything. I wish I could visit Mars.
  6. Floor 4465: A mysterious series of dusty curtains. Printed on them are the words "Project Apollo." Pulling one aside, you see a small stage filled with grey rocks and dust. A decrepit octagon of gold foil sits collapsed in the center, surrounded by strange, box-like devices. One of the walls, painted black, has fallen over and you catch a glimpse of two large, bulky white forms.
  7. Back To The Future Laythe Since this is a big enough adventure on its own Orbiting Pol, I had barely enough dv to transfer back to Laythe. The stress I felt orbiting Vall returned. But all I had to do was dock with the Avocado again. It had more than enough to refuel the Guac, and with a lot less weight from the fuel Guac used, I could go a lot farther. There was just one problem: (Just one? That's great!) I was far short of the fuel to circularize at Laythe. I could capture into orbit with my fuel, but it would be too elliptical an orbit to be of use. Then I had my worst best idea yet, taking a few cues from Interstellar. "Airbrake?" "We wanna shave some speed, don't we?" "Actually we wanna get there in one piece." Thanks again, Tylo. Transferring to Tylo. Guac is refueled and the crew is transferred. We're ready for the most dangerous landing yet. Coming up next on Journey of the Avocado: You guessed it, the Tylo landing!
  8. No need to apologize, we've all got that one aerospace vehicle we defend to the very end.
  9. Despite the cool guy's infinite plot armor, Jool has to have even more to allow its system to be stable with n-body physics, so he is unceremoniously deleted at -250m. @dsplaisted wins! Rock-paper-scissors-shoot, anything you want to do!
  10. Allergy-Inducing: The Pol Landing Completed by the "Guac" Vacuum Lander I was stressed out from having less fuel left in Vall orbit than planned, so I came up with several fuel-saving techniques: I would use only one engine because KER said I had more dv if I did that, and I would land on Pol with Val's EVA pack. Oh, and a Tylo gravity assist, of course. For some reason, Val's expression is like she's stuck here forever. What could make her think that? If Bradley Whistance can do this, then so can I! Coming up next on Journey of the Avocado: The Tylo landing! Plus, the scariest aerobrake ever...
  11. "We are proud to announce the first crewed mission to Duna-" *audience laughter* "Uh, Mars! I meant Mars!"
  12. Floor 4453: An armory of plot armor, or a plot armory.
  13. When someone shows you a map of the solar system and you start "Moho, Eve, Kerbin..." and you don't even stop at Jupiter, going "Jool, Sarnus..."
