Matterhorn Challenge

[antiquark]

This is a three-part challenge.

First: find The Matterhorn.

Second: land on The Matterhorn.

Third: do an EVA on The Matterhorn.

Bonus points: take lots of scenic pictures, then go home safe and sound.

Here's my semi-successful attempt:

This landing made possible by MechJeb (almost)...

Oops, seem to have misjudged my center of gravity...

I'll take a look around, Jebediah said he'd be waiting for me...

"HELLOOOO... ((echo echo echo))"

Hmmm, what now...

Well, I'll just sit here and wait, someone will rescue me eventually!

BTW, if anyone's having a hard time finding it, here's a screenshot showing the latitude, longitude, and location on the Mun...

It's near the south pole.

I mounted a rescue mission to go get Neilvin, and successfully land on the pinnacle of the Matterhorn. Here's a report:

First things first... sorry Fredger, it looks like someone forgot to tell you to stay behind. We're gonna have to let you orbit for a few days while we go rescue Neilvin.

There's Neilvin down there! Crank up the Translatron and put it in hover mode...

Make a fine adjustment to the right... hope the exhaust doesn't scorch Neilvin...

Pinpoint landing! (Hmmm, what was that creaking noise? I think the pinnacle dented the central tank...)

Nice! Neilvin's almost at the top of the ladder, all he has to do is hop onto the tank, then he's onboard!

You OK Neilvin? Most people are in a bit of pain after they roll down a Munar mountain!

Okay... second try for Neilvin... he's knocking at the door, should we answer? Yeah, I don't think he'd appreciate the joke.

And away we go!
