First Interplanetary Landing

[Westo454]

Well, technically not my first, I "Landed" on Duna one time... Well it was more of a cash, but the probe body survived.

Today I successfully launched and landed a manned mission to Ike. One Jebediah Kerman is currently standing on the surface, the first Kerbal ever to set foot outside of the Kerbin System. He will however, be the fist colonist on Ike, as a staging error caused ejected parts to forcibly disconnect the remaining engine, by which I mean one of the big orange fuel tanks, the me with fuel still inside, blew up. Quite fortunately for the mission, no critical systems were damaged, and the launch proceeded. The lander has approximately 3 units of fuel remaining.

I don't have a screenshot yet, but I am planning to get one.

Well, there's no reason Jeb can't be the first Kerbal to be rescued from outside the Kerbin system.

Get working on that rescue ship now! Jebediah needs to be back on Kerbin promoting the space program so KSC can continue making (and breaking) rockets.

Right, I think Jeb can wait a day. Time to get some shut eye and approach the problem tomorrow.
