Lucky Day

[rasheed]

Ok, i decided to land my first lander on laythe. When i was burning to orbit, i saw Jool. i checked the map and its perfectly lined up. Now 328 days later, when burning to gain orbit around jool, i got a capture to Vall, still in escape trajectory, what are the odds, of burning at a random time, only to make a capture to Vall, i landed on Vall and left one of my crew members there for my first landing there.

Now i regained orbit around Jool, when burning to tune the orbit ready to go to laythe, i got a capture to go to laythe. at this point, i was like ohh my day is so lucky. Not, during landing, i was heading towards a slope. I tried to burn out but it was too late, One of my lander engine got destroyed, and only to find that jet-packs don't work on Laythe so i cant move to a new location quickly.

I bailed a crew member out, i now tried to get the lander upright with my only crew member left in the ship. Unfortunately, the lander exploded and my crew member died. So that means One stranded on Vall and another on laythe. -sigh-. i thought i could of when to Tyle.

I thought today was gonna be lucky.

It's amazing how many of my Kerbals' last words are something like "maybe I'll land over there instead" or "I bet I can get a bit closer" or even "ooh! shiny!"

Why would you leave a Kerbal all buy himself?

Why would you leave a Kerbal all buy himself?

I figure a year in a cramped compartment with 2 other dudes that a person might appreciate some alone time.

So you ditched one Kerbal on a ICE moon to die a lonely cold death while you left the other on a ocean moon, and the last guy saved his buddy but died trying to land. Do you plan a rescue mission?

The kerbal on Vall is a reminder of the first vall landing. and yes there will be a rescue mission right away. i hope i get luck this time. -.-
