The Kerbal en route to Duna is about to get an unpleasant surprise.

I took Jebediah on a grand tour of the Kerbin system in my Career game. Initially, I was testing out a possible rocket to Duna, when I discovered that I would have to cut into my rather unnecessarily large lander's fuel supply to get into a proper Kerbin orbit. I decided to try a flyby of the Mün, whose gravity put me within Minmus's plane of orbit. I did a small correction and did a flyby there too. I got several further encounters with the moons on my return; that trimmed down the orbit enough that I could aerobrake and land. It was fun trying to collect the most valuable science, since I had to stage my solar panels and couldn't risk transmittting anything if I wanted to make it home. Unfortunately, I learned 7.6 m/s was too fast for a Science Jr. to not explode.
