Valentina and Bill's first (and last) Mun landing.

[Joseph Kerman]

I officially built my first Mun rocket. Piloted by Valentina Kerman with Bill Kerman as the repairperson, they set off to be the first couple to land together on the Mun.

 

And we have lift-off, as Val points her head up high for the stars. First stage off, and still going. Second stage ignition succesful, orbital trajectory complete. Getting a Mun encounter on first ty, they burned the last of their second stage fuel. Then they got to the Mun, no scratch. Engaging Puff engines for landing. They used over half the fuel to land, and no scratch, again. They have landed!

They planted the flag, got some samples and reports, and headed back home..., only to realize they didn't have enough monopropellant to get even to orbit. So Val said her last words to Bill and set off to the nearest station, the Collabortion Station. But they got the timing wrong, and Val was left on her own, in space, with no hope of getting home...
