Bill falls to his death but glitches out on Jool!

Jebediah starts a new Minmus base!

Slingshot away from Kerbin.

Houston, we have a problem.

Landing zone in sight, and touchdown.

Next up, Eve.

Eve's weird atmosphere, like some kinda aurora borealis or something.

A previous attempt with bad staging. That will teach me..

Jool was as close as i got to landing on a new planet, as mechjeb doesnt work right and i am working on new rockets.

I'm loving the new patch. The only real downside is that now that there are so many interplanetary destinations, warp 100,000 isn't really fast enough. 1 second = 1.25 days is great for moons, but when you're waiting for an orbital encounter and the orbits take a year or two each, it's pretty tedious.

Anyone know of an addon that offers an increased warp?

Here are some pictures I took of Jool and two of its satellites. Unfortunately I wound up in a retrograde orbit around the planet (need to pay better attention next time) so getting into orbit around the moons was challenging, so say the least. I wound up running out of fuel while trying to gravity brake repeatedly to slow the ship. I did have a few close passes with two of the moons though, and I definitely hope that a warp factor 1 million is in the works.

The ship I took - The Kerbol Explorer. It's ugly. Really really ugly. And poorly designed. But it got me there.

Tylo appears to be a simple, rocky world. I didn't get close enough to find out whether it has an atmosphere or not.

Happening upon Laythe was a lucky break. I had run out of fuel and the gravity brake I was doing off of Tylo wound up sending me to Laythe. That said, Bill Kermin's final resting place is on Laythe's surface. Or perhaps a few yards under it. Laythe does have an atmosphere, it starts at around 50,000m give or take 5,000.

both awesome pictures, but I am going to stick to minmus and the mun until a mod comes out that will help us get to planets faster.

here we have a nice shot of the Dunian horizon featuring the setting of....you guessed it, Duna itself (no photo editing programs were used in the making of this)

[Fuflang]

Here we can see my largest lander on the surface of Duna, was equipped with 3 stock parachutes on the 3 boosters and 1 large 3 parachute attachment on the top of the capsule that was ripped off and helped slow me down the most. I must say landing on Duna was the most intense thing i have done in KSP VERY satisfying.

Here we go! To Duna and back, using two vehicles.
