After some white knuckle driving down a mountain we've united Journey with our crew down at the face's crater (Fastest I got was 27 m/s down the mountain) The only way to have a kerbal ride it (If for some reason we ever have to) is to have him grab onto the ladder on the front of the rover. Which was originally placed there for aesthetics (to fill an empty place) but looks like it might serve a purpose after all

Nice! Not sure if you're going to, but Id appreciate it if you didnt use my Rovers design too :3 I like it a lot, and havent seen anything like it

What do you plan on doing next?

Ill have to check that out

awesome man, reading now

Awesome man! I think you put the fairing on wrong though. You didnt use the extended fairings, those look a lot nicer! Thats what I used Also telescope? What mod

Show us the rest!

I think while Zechariah and Thomfrey research Duna I'll get a mapsat around Ike maybe we can land something on it too.

Aww. hahah the seat laying on the ground made me laugh :3

That ground base is epic

EVE Online?

You really should have put a kerbal in the rover chair instead of on the ladder... Other then that, fun read I really like how you assembled the ship in orbit. I need to start doing that, then I could get farther then Duna :3

Ahahahahah XD I cant breath!

Well get to Duna then!!

K, cause I dont have the game open otherwise I would tell you haha. I think you're right though Good luck on your Duna mission! Link it here when you're done, I wanna read it

I believe its both of those.

While I dont know the names by heart, its 2 different engines. The ones closest to the center are the mainsail equivelant of the smaller engines, and the ones on the outer side are the skipper equivelant of the smaller engines.

Alright sounds cool. And yeah I agree chutes make everything easier Also one thing you might not have noticed, is theres 2 engines on the bottom of each of the smaller tanks on the sides of the big one

The engine on the huge part is the skipper! Mainsails are too fuel guzzling, and the skipper is a nice mix of efficiency and power.

If you mean the very large center one, thats the same as the big orange tank, just white. I used it instead of the orange one cause it looks nicer (its from kw rocketry)

Haha, I dont have mechjeb so Idk how to use coordinates. Its pretty easy to find if you've got mapsat, but I wont spoil it. Glad you like my craft I try to keep them as small and as simple as possible, I dont like the normal riff raff of asparagus style staged rockets. This was also my first ever manned landing on another planet so yeah, Im really happy about this mission

Mission 5: Launch the 2 manned research facility to Duna aboard the Dawn Mk V rocket, once landed, study the face found on Duna and other rock samples retrieved by the Journey rover. After several months return home. We have lift off! The plume of the engines firing. Burning for Duna. A lovely distant view of Ike and Duna. Duna orbit achieved. Decoupled from the main module and descending to Duna's surface. Zechariah and Thomfrey are looking pretty excited! Chutes deployed! Chutes fully opened. We have touch down!! *Ground Control Applauds* After some quick atmospheric tests, we've deemed it safe for one of our cosmonauts to step out onto the face of Duna! Zechariah Kerman: One small step for a kerbal... One giant leap, for kerbal kind. Planting our flag for Mother Kerbin! Thomfrey comes out and joins Zechariah for a group photo. Our landing site wasnt close enough to our target though, so everyone piles back into the lander, and we blast off to the desired landing site, making sure not to use too much fuel. Here we go, a much better area for studying the face. A good view of the face from the sleeping quarters window As Thomfrey makes his way over to the face to examine it, he notices the research lander is ontop of a weird rift in the crater. He makes a personal note not to touch it. Testing the density of the face with a flag pole. This place is so glitchy. Our crew takes one last pose before heading back into the research lander. With Zechariah and Thomfrey back inside, they both retire to the sleeping quarters for the first night on Duna. Sweet dreams! .. Although Im not sure how they can have sweet dreams with that thing staring at them all night. The face appears to be glowing... Hopefully at sun rise, Journey will be able to regroup with the newly landed crew, and assist them in their exploration and study. Mission outcome:Success

Well my game crashed and I didn't quicksave so... I gotta start over again. but the lander is no longer a big bulky thing, being the minmalist that I am, it is now a very small lander with all the required things a big one would need.

Change of plan. We're doing an apollo style craft

Well it hasnt happened yet so...
