Hello from the Mun!

[Arko]

Hi everyone!

It has been a while since I tried KSP for the first time. I guess that was around late last year. Since that, I didn\'t played a lot. But I regularly checked some videos on youtube from an astrophysicist guy wanting to send a rocket to the sun... among other things.

This week-end I saw some new exciting videos from this eve pilot guy trying and succeeding to land on a distant stellar object called Minmus. What!? There is... You can... land on another planet? Woah, I gotta do this!

So a few tutorials and wiki articles later, I got the new (for me) KSP v0.15 tonight! Yay!

Lots of fun that last few hours! So I wanted to say hello...

So Hello there!

Now for the big story:

My objective tonight was to build a rocket and go to the mun. Without embedding my crew in the ground, if possible.

So I tried!

I crashed into moon the first time... Missed it badly the second time (still did not got the mun rise trick right atm), managed to bring back my crew alive. Modded my ship. And after ten or so missions I\'m orbiting the mun!

While slowing my ship down, sending my trajectory deep into the mun to approache a nice cleared area, I notice a strange blinking white pixel thing on the surface. Mhh, that must be a gap between polygons... that should stay there for a while and disappear as I get closer.

Or is it? I had to left some unexploded debris behind when I crashed into the mun earlier... This thing is not rendering glitch!

So, I decide to set my trajectory into this thing. I have to see that up close! A few surprisingly easy adjustments later...

But wait, this is not a debris!

Holy cr*p, this is some sort of ancient artefact! An alien ship!

So I crashed my ship again, too exited and inexperienced to master a soft landing. In fact I was not that far from succeding, but had too much lateral velocity, a few m/s, tilted, bang.

Good news is that my crew survived the crash! I should set a rescue mission. Okay, this will be very hard if not impossible. And yes, the chute is destroyed. Even if I bring them back to Kerbin, how will they land safely? Will we have to dug them out of the ground? No, no.

And no! I wont let my courageous kerbals drying-out out there in the cold! I shall rescue them, they\'ll have to wait a while though while I find a plan. But I will, I swear!

That was a thrilling adventure, and I\'ll return there.

But now... Can you tell me what in the name of all kerbals is that thing?
