It's definitley possible on Minmus. Also. If you have KAS, and say, your lander explodes on gilly except the command module, you could grab the parachute, escape gilly, go to Eve, and parachute down. Not that you would want to go there, it's hard!
I would rather use 909s or a poodle. They're only good for large rockets that need better TWR and gimbal. In 0.21, the ASAS was built-in to the pods. Now both feature the same thing.
I did it with infernal robotics. A mix of Energia and NASA style. It worked. Barley. With tweakables, I'm sure it's easy. You can just monitor the way the ASAS is responding, then use thrust limiter to change "Gimbal"
Ahhh... I remember good old 0.17 days, I tried to land a DEMV there. The jet engines weren't spooling, weren't slowing down enough. Had to relaunch the entire mission with an aerospike... didn't know until later that jet engines don't work. Learned that the hard way
This thread needs WAAAAAAAAAY more attention then it is getting! Trust me my friend, keep these videos going at this rate, you'll be famous in no time.
Good misison, but why did you use the main engines after the fuel tank detaches? I also noticed, near fuel tank decoupling, that you had more than 3 engines "on"
There are bigger and smaller patches of kethane, the scanner will say. At least that's what it was like awhile ago. Not sure now. It would suck if it is just covered in little tiny kethane patches.
Finally got it in career mode, for some reason the .craft had locked/invalid parts, so I built it myself. I got into orbit on the first try... barley. "Sunrise" "Re-entry" "I can still land this!" "I need practice" EDIT: Retryed, but the shuttle decided to backflip and fly the WRONG WAY. I assume it's because I still had half a tank of fuel in the back, but it makes no sense.
