Description

A rocket-launched, jet-powered atmospheric re-entry craft, the Prometheus Explorer is based off of the past success of the Prometheus Orbiter. Including an increased stability upper stage design, the Explorer is entirely capable of a round trip to Minmus or the Mun with considerable range once in atmosphere in the event of a fudged re-entry.

This thing is a death trap.

This thing is a death trap.

How so? I personally haven\'t experienced too much instability, if you could describe what went wrong I\'d greatly appreciate it.

I like it. It\'s terrifying. Very Kerbal.

Can we see a pic of the lander on the Mun?

Sure thing, I\'ll make the trip either tonight or tomorrow, pretty late on my end. It\'s definitely capable though, I guarantee it.

Also, forgot to add: on landing, drag chute is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Conventional braking won\'t stop it fast enough before it decides to wobble and break itself apart. Might need a bit of tweaking, but if you pull that drag chute immediately on touchdown you\'ll be fine.

Here y\'go, broken lander legs and all!
