I’ve been getting really mad about all the unnecessary discourse about Hurricane Milton online. It’s always a specific kind of person too, people who pretend that Germany is some kind of Utopia or something (that’s not a dig at Germans, I’m very mad at a specific type of person). They’re saying so much stuff about how “something like this would never happen there” or whatever, and how awful America must be because they weren’t prepared for a literal natural disaster. Why is it that even in the most tragic situations, people just can’t put their political or nationalist differences aside and just stop talking?

I don't really know how I feel about that. Firstly, that's a really big cliche of fanfic that a lot of people don't like. Secondly, I've always imagined Jeb and Val as huge rivals. After all, both are practically the same Kerbal, and when two very similar people meet, arguments and rivalries ensue (at least in my experience). Also, this dynamic would sort of mirror the rivalry between Alan Shepard and John Glenn.

They drink coffee, as in loading screens Jeb can be seen drinking it, as well as scientists working on chalkboards. Also, we know they eat mint ice cream as it is implied in one of the surface sample dialogues on Minmus.

I’m using Sci-fi Visual Enhancements and EVE at the same time. It’s funny that you like them a lot, considering I use them because they’re low performance.

~KERBAL GAZETTE~ MINMUS NOT MADE OF ICE CREAM, WORLD ASTONISHED YEAR 1, DAY 80 - MOONHICKY-3 MISSION OBJECTIVE: Place the first spacecraft into Minmunar orbit LAUNCH VEHICLE: Prima-2 Rocket Beyond, having conquered the Mun, now looks further out, towards Kerbin’s mintiest moon. This is the goal of the Moonhicky-3 mission, the first mission to attempt to reach Minmus. Some might ask why go to Minmus? “Short answer, we’re completionists,” said head engineer Gus Kerman. “Long answer, Minmus is a curiousity. How is the moon mint colored? Why is it so far away from Kerbin, yet has such a circular orbit? This probe, while it most likely won’t solve everything about Minmus, will certainly open the door to further, more in-depth exploration of the moon.” With all pre-launch checks complete, a sizable crowd on the cape watches the Prima-2 carry Moonhicky-3 off to Minmus! “Liftoff on Moonhicky-3!” - Bobak Kerman (Flight Controller) Moonhicky-3 coasts its way up to orbit “We are GO for orbital insertion.” - Chris Kerman (BOOSTER) “We have confirmed orbit on Moonhicky-3!” - Bobak Kerman With Moonhicky-3 in orbit, the “fun” part can begin. One issue with Minmus travel is that the moon isn’t on a near equatorial orbit like the Mun. Its orbit is at about a 6o inclination, which means that if Beyond wants to do an efficient insertion burn, they first must match the spacecraft’s orbital plane with that of Minmus’s. This maneuver is called an Orbital Inclination Change, and it will be the first time Beyond will do one. “We are GO for the OIC Burn!” - Bobak Kerman And with the OIC burn out of the way, Mission Control can now get to the exciting part, the Trans-Minmus Injection (TMI) Burn. It’s projected that it will take about 900m/s of Delta-V to get to Minmus, around 100 more than your average Munar burn. This means that the probe’s own engine will have to complete the burn. Controllers start to worry that the probe might not actually be able to make it to Minmunar orbit. “Stage 1 of TMI proceeding as planned.” - Chris Kerman “48-7S Engine performing optimally, TMI Burn stage 2 proceeding as planned” - Chris Kerman With the TMI Burn a rousing success, Mission Control settles in for the week-long coasting period that lies ahead. To conserve power, the probe is put into hibernation mode. However, at about 235,000km up, mission control decides to wake up the spacecraft. When it’s fully awake, the cameras onboard snap this picture of Kerbin and the Mun. The Picture, named “Put into Perspective”, represents the true scale of Kerbin and the total extent of Kerbalkind’s exploration. Until now, all of history has been confined to this little system: a gray speck and little blue oasis, against an infinite black backdrop. Quite profound, some would say. Finally, we leave the realm of known space, and enter Minmus’s SOI. The moon, even from this vantage point, is incredibly tiny. The minty moon is only ~120km in diameter, and only looks like a light green dot to the naked eye. Its small mass also means the spacecraft will have a significantly smaller orbital insertion burn than originally thought, sitting at only 100m/s. “We are GO for MOI!” - Bobak Kerman “Minmus orbit confirmed!” - Bobak Kerman They’ve done it! They’ve put the very first spacecraft into Minmunar orbit, and with 300m/s to spare! Mission control cheers and celebrates this astounding accomplishment. Once the moment’s passed, they immediatly get to work. Science experiments are run, and tons of observational data is transmitted back to Kerbin. Firstly, there’s the most important and astounding observation that Minmus is, in fact, not made up of delicious mint ice cream. This has left Kerbin’s top scientist baffled. However, even more baffling are the strange clouds blanketing the surface much like the Mun, and the perfectly flat features on the Moon’s surface that almost look like frozen lakes. This leads to another question: did Minmus have water? All signs point to it being an icy moon, but if there’s evidence that there was flowing water on its surface, it could be the discovery of the century. Gus was right, we really do have more questions to answer.
