Who did you bring in your first mun landing?

[cebu516]

Random question, I think I brought jeb and bob but I can't remember

[Rutabaga22]

It was just meant to be an orbiter, so I had all the veterans on it. I didn't know I could burn radial out/in to get my trajectory right, so I got to the mun, and was on a trajectory that would lead to lunar impact. I burned as much as I could, but ended up on my side with one solar panel broken. I was so excited that I had landed on the mun,  I completely forgot about the fact that the veterans were stranded. That save was deleted a long, long time ago.

No clue. It was almost a decade ago.

I assume Jeb. No idea if I brought Bob or Bill. Val wasn't even a concept back then.

[razark]

Jeb, Bill, and Bob.

Because there was no other choice.

Sounds familiar:

No idea who this guy was. Not that it matters, since he was predictably stranded on the Mun for eternity anyways. I  know for a fact that he wasn’t Jeb, and am almost certain he wasn’t Bill or Bob either.

When I started playing there was only a 3-kerbal capsule and the three kerbals you had were Jeb, Bill, and Bob. You brought them, all of them, every time you flew anything. 

[BekfastDerp13]

I know it wasn't any of the 4 main Kerbals, they perished back in the days of when I was first starting out, or so I think. I can only confirm that Bob is dead; I am convinced that the other 3 went through the multiverse.

first was on the initial eggbox version, was Jeb, alone, in a Mk1 capsule based lander, due to career progress he couldn't actually get out and as such was a touch and go job with science collection.

crude lander but was designed without the aid of internet sites just a few manual calculations on dV requirements, was quite pleased actually, a sense of achievement, especially when he came back successfully.

second flight was Val to for the XP, also successful, different landing zone

actually successful first time landing, after a free return flyby and two orbital flights to test the actual craft (and grab far & near orbit science) before enough was unlocked to add the six little legs and try risking it. designed to have a 50% dV margin for the landing bit and 10% on ascent with 10% on the rest and had a decent amount of fuel left at the end but really enjoyed it

[miklkit]

Don't remember exactly, but it was 2 of them and they got a lot of science.  Then of course I found out they didn't have fuel to return.  After I got the 3 crew capsule Val rescued them.

[Aliquido]

I think it was Jeb and Bob

[worir4]

Bob, who is still there....

[dci]

My memory says Jeb alone, but it is 8 years and many career runs ago...

[Richmountain112]

Just landed today. Brought Jeb (for maneuver nodes) and Bob (to reset science containers). Took me several tries but eventually I landed. Now I need to do science without tipping my lander over.

Also I cheated to get back to Kerbin because I didn't have enough Delta-V after getting in Mun Orbit.
