GMoney Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've never been a fan of launching humongous craft, and my last attempt at interplanetary travel with a craft built on-orbit ended in disaster (long story short, the craft was over-engineered and dynamically unstable; I've not launched a Kerbal on a mission beyond Kerbin's SOI since). I've been reading about, and become a fan of, the Mars Direct mission architecture, whereby the return vehicle is sent first, and the crewed Lander/hab make a surface rendezvous. I'll most certainly employ this in my next Duna trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I'd show some screenshots of that Jool-5 mission:Now I miss 0.90 It was my first version. But I guess things are better than they were then, now if someone would just create some gi-freakin-normous engines for making launching big beasts like these easier, we'd have just about everything.
