First Mun landing.......mostly successful

[Titus Jeb Worshipper]

Hello space friends, yay my first post!

I just wanted to share my excitement at my first Mun landing. After several 'simulated' landing attempts Jeb and lander made it to the surface of the Mun in one piece. He EVA'd and spent some time looking back at Kerbin with a satisfied smile on his face while I clapped and cheered my piloting skills Sadly I'm still enough of a noob that I forgot to take a screenshot in the excitement lol

Unfortunately things then went wrong, I lifted off, set up a maneuver node to set up my burn back to Kerbin.....3,2,1 burn yay....awww dammit out of fuel! Poor Jeb is now drifting around in a slightly eccentric orbit of the Mun. Ah well time for a rescue mission, now I have a reason to learn how to do an orbital rendezvous, woohoo. Don't worry Jeb we never leave a man.....ahem.....Kerbanaut behind!

A big thanks to Scott Manley and pebble_garden for their tutorial videos without which I would still be sploding on the launch pad

On a side note does anyone else spend more time looking at these forums and watching videos than actually going to space? I click on to see whats new and lose myself for several hours

Congratz! Make sure to press F1 for your next screenshot opportunity

I scroll through the different Twitch profiles to see the different approaches people take for the same goals, pretty interesting.
