First person to land on the Minmus, and get Back! [Video]

[Tim_Barrett]

To live up to my historic Mun landing, I have did the same with Minmus on my first try!

Here is a quick and dirty assortment of posts, and I have recorded it aswell but that will take time to upload. There is also the craft file attacheded (my apologies for name!)

Here it is!

EDIT:

Video ahead!

Dammit Tim! You can\'t have all the KSP titles! Save some for the rest of us! =P

Like the Mun, I wasnt the first to land (I saw OtherDalfite has that) but to come back.

I got lucky, but there was plenty of fuel left over.

I\'m impressed none the less. What\'s the gravity on it like?

Oh look, if you reply, it\'ll be your 3000th post! =D

The gravity is a bit lower than on the Mun, but the landscape is very rough, so watch you\'re orbits!

I approached it from near a dead stop in movement, and when i got there, it was no more than 250m/s. It could be harder to get there, but landing is a breeze.

However, some parts looked fairly steep, so watch out! (I also saw some flat ice lakes, so that would be a good starting point!)

Don\'t you mean first non-tester to land on Minmus and get back?

Still, nice job, it\'s quite an accomplishment!

[Elven_sword]

Craft file?

[Tim_Barrett]

Craft file?

Sure, let me add in OP.

Edit: Done. Enjoy!

Tester firsts don\'t count, of course, at least not before release.

Are there Minoliths?

[Tim_Barrett]

Are there Minoliths?

Good question: I don\'t know! I only landed once and came back once on the first try, because right now I\'m going to make the largest stock plane ever conceived.

C7 parts are stock now, aren\'t they?

[Tim_Barrett]

C7 parts are stock now, aren\'t they?

Yes. Challenges will be much easier.

[RedDwarfIV]

Yes. Challenges will be much easier.

I find it funny that you see challenges to be the best thing that this part of the update can do for KSP. If I didn\'t already have the C7 Flight Pack, I\'d see this as a way of getting access to C7 parts much more easily than having to download everything.

*I meant managing plane challenges, since they are stock.

[Asmosdeus]

I\'ve been orbiting Minmus for quite a while dangerously low and I haven\'t seen any munoliths. My scout didn\'t find any whilst investigating the ice flats.

[Bluejayek]

So how about the challenge 'Land on the Mun, then Minimus, and return safely to kerbin' challenge? Anybody done that yet?

[707-Engineering]

The lakes of ice are the best landing places tim, where the heck did you go??

Also, i just HAVE to put up this one again, MINMUSMOBIL !:

So i claim the first rover on Minmus?

Died 40 seconds after, breaking the 13 m/s wall and spinning out of control, jeb style.

Hah! That\'s funny! You think you\'re the first again!

[OtherDalfite]

First to come back that is. I was the first to land, possibly second to come back. He was second to land, but first to come back. Kind of a mind-boggler. ???

[NovaSilisko]

r4m0n was the first during the experimentals, actually. I was the fourth, I think...

I\'m going to agree with this post, and even take it a little bit further. Testers don\'t get to claim firsts after release, because testers have already had several days to refine designs and practice new skills.

So Tim is the first non-tester to achieve this post release.

First to return, that is.
