[WIP] JumpJet Rover

[Neotician]

Hello there, i've made a rover!

well, i had ths idea about a rover / lander and this is what i came up with.

Basically, it's a heavy set rover controlled by probe cores (2 of em, 1 mounted horizontally and 1 vertically) with seats and lighting.

The rover is equipped with RCS thrusters and 8 small rocket engines.

The design is a first draft and i'll improve on it as time goes.

The rover can travel at about 30-40 m/s on land, on kerbin, and can achieve an altitude of aprox 26,000M before running out of fuel.

I'm tired, so this is a sucky description.. -> Video.

I've just landed the rover on the Mün and have a video of doing so.

I'm sorry about the slow cautious landing, but it was done in 1 take and it's the first time i "fly" the rover outside kerbin atmosphere.

as you (prolly) can see, i've added a docking port for refueling etc.

to do:

Get kerbals to the moon as-well and place em in the seats.

Get a ship in munar orbit for refueling.

Land the rover on Duna
