SJFriesen Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey all so I just started playing yesterday and was wondering if there are any videos over the scenarios out there.Im doing the impending impact scenario but can't seem to figure it out. I burn retrograde but by the time the escape path connects to a orbit I have burned all my fuel up. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Try burning sideways so you change your direction, not your speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneCash Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yup, I just finished this myself for the first time. The trick is to burn *behind* the Mun as a sort of anti-gravity-assist so it drops you back to Kerbin, by immediately putting a maneuver node right in front of you and stretching the "radial out" (blue/fins-out/dot-in-middle) until you get a Kerbin perigee inside the atmosphere (less than 69km).That's the only burn I had to do, and I ended up with a little less than a pound of fuel left, out of the about 5-3/4 you start with, a Kerbin perigee of 50km and a Mun perigee of about 35km.Then ya just wait and wait and wait. I think I did 3 aerobraking passes until I finally landed. Thank god (or Harvester, same person!) for time warp!One thing I discovered that I didn't know... a perigee marker does not show up until you have a perigee above the surface. I was watching the Kerbin perigee, wondering why I didn't have a Mun one, until it suddenly popped up. I never noticed that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
