Silicon014 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) So I did some investigating, and I found an amazing landing location. It is perfectly situated right on the edge of a crater, its completely level for kilometers around, and provides a constant view of the planet. Also, the surrounding landscape is rather beautiful. But what else is special about this location? It is the exact location for the Apollo 11 landing. I am dubbing this exact location and surrounding area as "Neil's Landing" for future purposes, so please keep this thread alive. Rest in peace, Neil, and godspeed.Heres a link to some extra pictures I took of the landing location Edited September 2, 2012 by Silicon014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardgame Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Do you suppose this was made intentionally by whoever mapped the Mun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddmatts Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 The dev team said that they will be adding an Armstrong memorial at the approx. lat+long of Tranquility Base. So the landscape should work out nicely. We'll probably see it in 0.17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any person who builds a Munar base there will have the memorial as extra scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Could I have a picture of that exact location from the map view? It's impossible to place objects directly by lat/long, and the memorial is currently off by quite a ways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygun Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That's looks somewhat close to where the Monolith is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panichio Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Keeping these coordinates in mind, going to make my own memorial in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hopefully the coords are correct now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silicon014 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Nova, see if you can load it up into a copy of the game, put a ship next to it,then just use MechJeb to see its coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk-E-Boy Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 They could put a Gagarin memorial in orbit, but what do you say to the poor guy whose rocket gets creamed by it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
