Why do you never visit Dres?

[RSwordsman]

I dropped a rover on Dres once by mistake after missing Duna. It was fun though. Got to trundle around on that far-off rock and got a bit of science from it.

Dres is Boring, Its just a mun clone in orbit around the sun they should give it a few moons maybe mimic the pluto system.

I do not visit because I have not yet received an invitation.

The recent addition of Dresteriods in my opinion suffices as such an invitation. Must... Create... Dres... Mission... Soon...

I've been to everywhere except Dres. I figured it would just be another Moho experience (and I didn't like it).

Asteroids might make it more interesting, but I'd love to see a tiny little moon with a thin oxygen atmosphere around Dres.. even if it's not realistic. I'm sure it would get a lot of more love then.

Dres is basically Ceres, we've known about it for over 200 years and humanity is just now beginning to explore it. We didn't send a spacecraft to explore it until March of 2015!

Erm. It was sent there 7 years ago.

Seven years? Nasa don't use time warp?

[Whirligig Girl]

I intend to have a dedicated Dres program, in roughly this order:

orbiter>unmanned lander>rover>robotic return>manned landing>Dresteroid return mission.

on that note, can class A asteroids fit inside a cargobay?

You could try taking a large empty fairing up, approachin it, timewarping until the asteroid is inside the fairing, and have a claw on the inside of the fairing grab it.

No reason they shouldn't, they're smaller than 2.5m parts, but larger than 1.25m parts IIRC.

No, they are at least 4 meters in diameter.

Oh sure, a 3 km deep canyon is soooo boring~

But Nova, have you ever been to Dres?

funny vid

has anyone pictures of the asteroids around dres?

Allow me to present the first asteroid I found on dress, a Class D one...

the Asteroid itself weights over 500 TONS, it made my extractor go from 3,2k delta v to a wooping 178 delta v.

They did, but we live in the universe they were seeing fast forward.

cool, thx a lot

I once sent an orbiter-lander duo there. All I remember is that the orbiter was called Jaime, and the lander that it dropped to the surface was called Bran.

[GluttonyReaper]

Yep, you're right. Just checked, and they're a lot bigger than I remember.

[timandy1]

I never vist dres because of its orbital inclination and lack of atmosphere for aerobraking

Did the lander break its landing legs?

[NovaSilisko]

What? Dawn was launched in 2007 but it only just arrived at Ceres this year.

[phunk]

While they can fit. You can never time warp with them in it.

A claw in the cargo bay should solve that problem.

Yeeeeeeeeessss?

[Xannari Ferrows]

I don't get this question. I can't answer with anything, because that would imply that I don't go to Dres.

[LadyAthena]

Devs should randomly sometime this year put an easter egg hidden on dres somewhere, and we'll see just how long it takes for someone to find it... that'll give us an idea of how lonely dres is.

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

Great Video.

But i have to admit that I actually visited Dres and I liked it there.

The Canyon and the craters are worth the trip.

[bigyihsuan]

I don't visit Dres because I can never get the encounter right. Kerbal Alarm Clock says that the encounter is then, and the angle seems to be right, but the encounter doesn't appear.

[Thomas988]

I just...don't. Dres just doesn't interest me.

[Nemrav]

It was actually the first place I visited inter-planetarily after duna, didn't know about the canyon back then... might go back soon though...

I like dres it just is tiny
