Corgi Mun Crusade

[KerbalCorgi]

It started with this challenge.

Now, I'd describe myself as an intermediate KSP player- I know the basics, launched a probe to Duna, etc.

And, if you read my signature, you can see that I am a big fan of bases on other planets.

Now, this is Go-Time.

This will be continuous, and has no end as of now.

Are you ready?

"It puts the Corgi in the rocket!" no! Basket! Err Rocket!  No, yes, definitely Rocket.

OK, ready now.  Show us what you can do.

And to wish you good luck and to let you know we are all counting on you, I can only offer some paraphrased words originally made famous in an aeronautical cinema classic,  "I just want to wish you good luck, we're all counting on you."

Thanks, I'm working on it right now!

THE FIRST LANDING (AKA THE ACROBATICS LANDING)

(Here are my settings)

Meet Hellina and Hanley Kerman, pilot and scientist, and the first two soldiers in the war against the Mun.

Also, meet the Discovery Recon Lander, the first ship in the battle.

Launch and everything else was fine. (I was using free camera view in this one)

We are landing near the Twin Craters, I believe we are several kilometers away.

After a fair bit of panic and screaming (coupled with two maniacs inside the craft plus a maniac flying it plus the maniacal forces of gravity and everything else devised by Sir Isaac Newton), we landed, with a fair bit of acrobatics (no pictures because I was piloting).

 

Hanley got out and planted a flag, too.

Also, Hellina wants to know if somebody can send her beer and snacks. Hanley wants some waffles.

A CLOSE SHAVE

Say hello to the Mun Low-Orbit Station. 

Crewed by six, and powered by solar energy. (No pictures- busy flying the thing)

But we did see the Recon Lander.

And now for the tricky part: getting into a <15 km or less orbit.

And now, a random picture taken once in the orbit.

Kerbin Eclipse (sorta)

Another random picture

Also, the crew is now eating space ice cream.

Does the station have docking ports?

I like where this is going...Nice work.

No.

Then what can you use it for?

It must be a target vehicle for a future claw mission - there are no alternatives.

It's really more of a recon mission- might get crew off in the future.

Perfect - send snacks and postal mail on regular basis until crew return ;-)

I'll get them off sometime in my life
