A short, fast drive on Gilly

[Klapaucius]

Inspired by my first forays into rovering with the Dessert Derby,  and @Triop''s insane Pole to Pole attempt I decided to take advantage of the Mission Builder and plonk myself on a few different moons and start driving. Low gravity proved a challenge, but I think I have come up with a viable, if rather inefficient solution.  I managed over 40 mps without going into orbit, though anything over 25 is asking for it.  I managed 12 km before running out of fuel, and I think If I slowed down I could reduce the downforce a bit and get maybe 6 more ks out of it. However, Gilly's circumference is 81km, so I've got a ways to go before I can get it around the whole moon in one shot.

Very cool @Klapaucius!

Maybe you could try using ions (a lot of them) for downforce because they have a massive isp boost.
