Survived !

[Warzouz]

I'm messing around Eve but I didn't plan to land on the planet. I've probes designed to land there and a station from where I operate.

I was collecting science from "near Eve" with my generic vacuum heavy lander (3000m/s for 7T) which I use for Gilly.

Then Aldrick Kerman said : "Why not give it a try, it's quite nice down there !" No heat shield, no air-brakes, no parachutes, piece of cake !. Well, he's only a scientist, what does he know about piloting and heating effect.

Starting from LEO, burn for 60km PE, use 1000m/s leftover fuel to slowdown at high altitude (it's a terrier). No heat problem (no gauge appeared), terminal velocity at 55m/s.

I jumped out of the ship 50m before impact. Both pilot and ship survived. I only broke the Terrier

PS : Career mode, normal difficulty.

Now to mount a rescue ship to get him home

[Warzouz]

Well, no... I killed while running at x4 physical warp ! He fell and pooof

[Evanitis]

It sounds he didn't have too much time to cheer for the lucky landing.

Now to mount a rescue ship to get him home

Such a simple statement, that would involve much insanity. 10/10 score for reply

Hi Warzouz

I suggest that Aldrick has now plenty of time to take a little walk around, maybe going to swim a bit in the explodium sea....

Or climbing a mountain with a tabletop, that could help the rescueteam... if you consider any rescue at all, but i really hope so.

Good luck Aldrick... errm... yes

Edit... oh no... R.I.P. Aldrick

Condolences to Mrs. Kerman.

Eve... where the gravity is so punishing you fall over and DIE.

I dunno if you're trying to make this "hardcore" or anything, but I personally would disregard that incident as the glitch it is and load a quicksave.

Considering the roster... WOW, that girl gets around!

Well, I quicksaved BEFORE deorbiting. The goal of the mission was to gather science from space near Eve and grazing the upper atmo to go get science too.

I deorbited the lander, just to see if it could survive the landing. I was very very surprises it did.

Landing on Eve is easy, even in 1.0.4. Getting back off of it is the challenge...

That is really cool

Yes, but with no heat shield, no airbrakes and no parachutes, landing was... bold !
