Journey of the Avocado A Jool 5 Mission Report Long ago, (March 2023 I think) I set a goal of completing a Jool 5 before the end of the year. I began working on a Jool 5 ship but lost momentum pretty quickly. At that point, I hadn't even been to Duna, I was so inexperienced. Late November 2023, I picked up the muster to try it again- but it would be different this time. This time, I would do it on a science save, and get an actual reward from all this. Probably complete the tech tree, too. Arbitrarily, I named my ship the Avocado- and all the ships have kept an avocado naming rule as a result. To start with, I would launch a nuclear tug, but split it into two major parts- the first, relatively simple, and the second, like the first, but with four more radially placed and asparagus staging. Am I overdoing this just to compensate for my lack of skill? Maybe. Does it make me feel better about the chances of this working? Yes. And so, without further ado... Pit 1 launch: The launch of Pit 2: Docking the two Pits: Tada! Next, I will add a module with reaction wheels and more monoprop, because I ran out of it and it turns really slow without RCS. The Avocado is not complete. In my science save, I have the crew module docked, but I will have to post that another time. Coming up next on Journey of the Avocado: Launching the crew module (and a maneuvering module)!
