Tribel Kerman's walking tour of Gilly

[DaPatman]

I've been wanting to do the Elcano challenge for a while, but I've never had enough free time to dedicate to developing a rover which won't flip in low gravity. But recently, I realised that Gilly was probably small enough that an enterprising kerbal could circumnavigate it on foot. The only question is, who would be insane enough to go along with this plan?

Sorry Jeb, but I want to do this stock, and since not having access to VOID means I can't guarantee I'll build something capable of making a two-way trip, I don't want to risk an orange suit. Maybe one of the new recruits will be similarly insane?

Perfect. I've already come up with a rocket capable of getting to Gilly, all you have to do is get in and fly it there:

The actual circumnavigation will start later this week.

Well now, that's an interesting trek. I'll be interested to see how long this takes. Good luck!

If the great and powerful Claw says he approves, I do to! Ya know, I did think about walking across something at some point...

Good luck! She'll need to watch her step. No RCS pack? That would make it so easy.

This looks epic, DaPatman! Best of luck with it.

Egad, lad!  Walking around Gilly?  I have to salute your ambition and, I strongly suspect, masochism as well.  Just landing a ship on Gilly is bad enough with upwards-firing RCS to speed the descent, but walking there without a jetpack is just ridiculous.  It's like 30 seconds per step you take very slowly returning to the surface, and you don't cover much ground even so.  Good luck
