Rescuing Jeb from Duna in 82 days

In a previous mission, I sent Jeb to Duna in 120 hours. the mission was a great success. I just forgot about one tiny thing: Jeb didn't have a ride back home..

After getting several complaints on the matter, I decided to whip up an express rescue mission and get him back home...
Since this was a rescue mission, we had to go fast! So I built a pretty large vessel (2,600 tonnes; 36 km/s delta v) and flew straight towards Duna!
The rescue ship was able to pick up to Jeb in 31 day and  it took another 51 day to get him back home. This is certainly not as fast as the previous mission, but that's partly because the alignment of the planets wasn't optimal when the rescue ship was sent.

The mission was very fun to perform and surprisingly easier than I thought. Although I would have had a hard time doing it if I didn't have the Trajectory mod at my disposal. ;)

 I hope you guys/gals  like it. :) And thanks for giving me the idea for this mission!
