What an amazing game

[Boris Kerball]

 As I landed on MUN Jeb's excitement at collecting science he ran /flew top the edge of a crater and way down on the crater floor was his shadow, an amazing picture was sent to my Kerbal playing son. Jebs excitement turned to horror as we have NO fuel to get into a stable orbit round Mun, So I build a rescue craft rescue 1 but how will I find him will he be there do I know enough to match his position and then Land.  Well the OMG moment as I flew right above Jeb's position only to switch to Jeb and view the rescue 1 fly above at 5.000ft I could not believe such a game.  Now to descend and land near jebs position  on the target showed 26.km and closing this was so intent unbelievable coming down to early had to fire a bit to miss a crater peak. but I landed half a mile away (approx.) In Jebs excitement at being rescued he ran/Flew to high and crashed and rolled hundreds of yards down hill.. he must be dead surely, but Jeb just jumped up brushed himself down and boarded the craft for home.  But Jebs troubles were not over yet ran out of fuel after have pereapsis  Burn to 68.00ft , so another rescue, rescue 2 was on its way again only ever tried this once before and was not confident, I still take ages trying to match orbits, But we done it and finally brought Jeb back home. I have had this game just over a week and while on holiday at home have managed 10hrs a day.. and THE wife is still talking to me...lol cant wait to get home, I want to build a space station and looking at some of the pic I cant believe its possible.  well done the Kerbal  team excellent game the best ever  and I owned a ZX spectrum, and have been gaming ever since.

Welcome to the forums.  As you have noticed, there's nothing else out there that gives you the same feeling of accomplishment as KSP.  Enjoy the addiction but try to remember the rest of your life as well *grin*.

Hi @capt: scarlet! Sounds like you're really enjoying yourself, and well done so far! I moved your thread to Mission Reports for posterity

Hi @capt: scarlet welcome to the addiction, and forums.

KSP is full of moments like that.  Elation, despair, discovery, success, failure, and more - all in a single evening sometimes.
