2 Kerbals stranded on the mun

[Misguided Kerbal]

Hi, I'm new to the forums. I haven't done much yet, but I managed to land a lander on the mun. The problem is, when I was landing, I somehow broke the engine off, so I have 2 kerbals stranded on the mun. I play sandbox, so what should I do?

I can include a picture if needed.

Welcome to the Forum.

I guess you have to mount a rescue mission.  (Considering the difficulty of that, you also have the option to leave the Kerbals there for a few years and pick them up later, when you are more experienced.  )

Your rescue mission should include accommodation for the two extra Kerbals on the return, which is an obvious detail but soooo easy for Kerbals to forget. 

You'll need to land your rescue mission within say about 5 kms, which could be challenging to say the least!  Then the 2 stranded Kerbals can cover that distance using their jetpacks...  More fun.

Don't be frightened to fail!

Finally, this is Sandbox, so you are your own boss!  Order yourself to "have fun" and then do it...

Just beware. Rescue missions are harder than the mission you're rescuing the Kerbals from. They require a lot more care in landing.

Sandbox is all about practicing maneuvers and having fun. How would you like to practice flying Kerbals around the universe? You can turn on infinite fuel and "ignore heat", and then fly your Kerbals all the way home with their jetpacks and parachutes!
