Bobgel and Bill landing next to the rover. (There are no launch photos because when I first tried to land pre killed it and my last save was in orbit around kerbin so I cheated the lander to high Minmus orbit. I think that this is acceptable since I almost landed the first time, and this lander is more than capable of it)

Trip 1

There was not too much interesting things on the route or I was too focused on driving the rover. The river likes to slide but doesn't like to stop. I collected lowlands and Midlands science.

Going down on the side of Flying Peak.

Doing science in the flats biome.

After that stop I continued to the next flag but I crashed into a rock at 40m/s. The rover started to roll and 2 of the 5 solar panels got destroyed. Fortunately I had a quick shave after the science so I reloaded that.

I'm still a bit confused as to _why_ you want BD Armoury for an Elcano mission, but: as I understand it, you were in orbit around Minmus (point A), you tried to land, the Kraken struck, your last save was in Kerbin orbit, so you Alt-F12ed it back to the orbit you were in at point A?

ETA: if so, I'm going to say it's OK this time, if technically against the rules, but please don't do it again. I'm afraid I didn't really realise you were waiting for an answer before continuing - the forum yoyoing has made things difficult.

Flag 7 (if you don't get it it's project hail Mary).

Flag 8. It's kraken because the waypoints name was something about a kraken.

Rover is in stay configuration.
