I've come a long way in this game. I can't think of what to do next, but I'm having plenty of fun with the new docking mod.

Docking will be even more useful once the new planets are in. The Aerobrake is a mock aerocapture as practice for .17. Best performed between 35 and 37 kilometers up. I'll have to test other planets atmospheres with probes before trying something like that on say, Duna.

Epic! Now I want to do one.

Very cool!

I've been toying with the Kethane mod; I had an idea to do miner Mun landers which shuttle fuel to an orbital tanker, which then takes the fuel to a station in Kerbin orbit, but I wind up burning most of my Kethane before I even get it into the tanker! But yes, rendezvous and docking are a lot of fun -- I've been playing with spaceplanes and rendezvous as of late. I should slap a docking collar onto my spaceplanes and rendezvous targets!

How do you perform the transfer burns? Most of the time when I start the burn the other craft (the one not doing the burn) falls off and flys away.
