Most unlucky Launch window ever?

Could not figure out why I could not hit Duna after my main burn... turns out I keep getting intercepted by the Mun... get out of my way!

Not sure how much Dv I've lost to it, but I'm now attempting a second burn, but I'll have to wait for another window (as I've missed this one by too far). :(

Have you had any planets or moons get in your way?

The Mun got in my way on a Duna burn as well. I tried to blow it up, but it just ignored my huge rocketbomb. I'm rebuilding something even bigger. I'll teach it to get in my way!

I had the Mun get in the way when I was trying to set up a Minmus transfer. All you can do is wait.

No! I say we take action! Let's rally to the cause of destroying the evil Mun!

I was sending a crew of 3 out to Eeloo when the flight ended abruptly whilst I was time warping. Turns out I had crashed into Minmus of all things...

That makes my attempt sound better. :P Thanks. :)

The Kerbals got to their destination with 2 spare tanks of fuel after all. I knew bringing extra was worth it. :D

having the Mun in the way can actually help you by saving some delta-v, but if you're planning your burn using maneuver nodes, I suggest you set the conic patch limit higher than 3 in the settings file.

Poke it with a stick!!

HOW TO POKE WITH STICK:

1. Stick some of the long truss pieces (can't remember the name at the moment) on top of a command pod

2. Crash it into the mun truss first

3. Poof, the mun is gone

During Heavy Time Warp to Duna Encounter, Kerbin catched up behind my back and pulled me in, while i was still wondering why time-warp didnt worked, I was flying right into the sea :/

Ha Ha,

Kerbin: "Pfft, those Kerbals. I raise and care for them under my own Biosphere for thousands of years and this is how they re-pay me? You WILL not go to space today :mad: *grab*"
