  1. Insertion Burn with/without Ike Gravity Assist

    Aerobraking was often very dangerous, both to Proteus and Kadmos; once they enter the atmosphere the ship could fall apart for all we know. When they use fusion engines they at least have some safety measures that would terminate the burn; also, they have control over deltaV unlike in case of aerobraking. Additionally, Ike gravity assist can provide savings of several hundred m/s as well, reducing the length of the required burn and thus reducing a chance of potential malfunction.

  2. Doesn't anybody know that too many secrets in a small space cause insanity? Really, if they just declassified the mission to the rest of the crew on their way to Duna, none of this would have happened. Yes, visiting other worlds is awesome, but possible alien contact? That would be the real glory for Kerbalkind...

    As for BERTY, he mentioned the first law, but what about the Zeroeth Law? He can't allow harm, physical or otherwise, come to humanity as a whole, or simply as a group larger than the aggressors, through action or inaction. In short, with Rozer taking over and zapping Jeb, wouldn't he see this as wrong and do something about it?

    He did see this as wrong, and did say to Rozer that he was confused; the violation of First Law conflicted with his ethical circuitry and caused a system reboot.

  3. ^The only reason it happened was because he was overtaken by jealousy and pride, abandoning reason. Of course we will mourn him but it does not mean that he had no part in his passing.

    And dayum czoklet, I had no idea you're polish (totally haven't noticed it on the profile thumbnail)!

    Niezwykle ciekawa opowieść, nie mogę się doczekać następnej części! Dobra robota!
