I was wondering the other day, I wonder what some people have done in KSP to simple get their ships to the target and on the ground and more importantly what skill and planning it took to get there? this reminded me of one of my first manned interplanetary landings, to the Joolian moon of Laythe. Anyway, this thread is about my before mentioned curiosity, what have you done to get your ship safely down on your target, or to simply get there? My Story: The interplanetary transfer was as normal, getting to Jool etc, but what happened in the Joolian system was more exiting, i had ran out of fuel on my exterior nuclear engines, these were supposed to be used for inclination changes and innitial capture, I only had my landing stage engine left. I had to be really fuel efficient so I did some calculations took my time and managed to get an aero-capture followed by an encounter with Vall, I then lowered my orbit to meet up with Laythe and set up an unintentional direct crash with laythe, luckily I packed parachutes, unluckily I didn't pack a decoupler to detach my decent stage 'Just in case' I had an absolutely minuscule amount of fuel to set up a trajectory that would hit land and to slow me down, My kerbals landed safely, but to this day await a rescue ship. I'm interested to see your feats of ingenuity below! (Pics as well if you so please.) Also, clutch means close... [Edit: Fixed Image, Minor Grammar corrections, [2] Clearing things up.]
