what was the first thing you landed on (not in the kerbin system)

[The Destroyer]

Duna. Honestly because Kurt (or was it scott?) landed on it first, I went there first.

After 10 tries, I used the orbx calcualator, and landed Jeb.

I tried the same thing on Eve, in the dark, not realising the gravity AND the fact that it had damn water!

[Pipcard]

I think most people targeted Duna, as it is the Mars analog for KSP, and that is the next destination for human exploration.

But the first planet that a robotic probe landed on was Venus, so I picked Eve.

[Windchild]

Laythe was the first thing I landed outside of the Kerbin SOI

It was also the third place I landed on after Kerbin and the Mun.

[Oggula]

My first effort was a grand expedition to Duna with three craft! All three missed -.- so my next effort was with three craft to Jool because I heard it had a big SOI. The first craft entered the system the wrong way and impacted Tylo at 8km/s. The second burned up in Laythe's atmosphere, but the pod landed by parachute in the ocean. The third just about managed to orbit Vall. All in all, not bad for a first effort with no LV-Ns.

[Van Disaster]

Duna, was way out of phase so it took a trip down to Eve orbit to get there...

[Xeldrak]

I went for Eve - I knew it was a kind of venus, so landing would be very easy with such a thick atmosphere

[haltux]

Why not Gilly? It is the easiest trip if you wish to return to Kerbin. Much more likely than silly choices like Eeloo.

[moronplays]

I went Duna, Moho, Eve and then the Jool systerm i have yet to go to Eeloo

[grawl]

I went to Duna, trying to mimic the Curiosity design.

I've got got my 7 minutes of terror

[NovaSilisko]

Perhaps add an "other" option, the first landing I made was on something that doesn't exist anymore...

[Pachi3080]

Eve scares me a little bit... so i tried in duna first.

thank you Bobcat ind.

The sun. Yes, the SUN.

[Pipcard]

And what would that be?

[theflyingfish]

My first landing was on the Magic Boulder.

[soranno]

I was all ready to rush in with a Duna answer, but caught myself forgetting those first probes to Eve!

I sent a pair of probes together to Eve as my first journey beyond minmus, and landed the first one safely at about sea level (this was well before deadly reentry, and I wonder if I could manage it again now).

The second I intended to land on gilly, but realised that it was not powerful enough, so dropped it onto Eve also. One of its legs collapsed upon landing though and the probe fell over damaging its various sciency bits

[AmpsterMan]

And what would that be?

You might want to check this

[FlamedSteak]

What version was that in? Looks awesome.

[Tristavius]

Always manned landing first for me. Duna was actually quite by accident... I sent a lander to Minmus and it had such a huge amount of fuel left I launched another and sent it to Duna. Had no idea what I was doing back then, was a terrible transfer and arrival. Made it into the atmosphere but my parachute was inadequate, burned the last of my fuel and ran out about 300m off the ground. Came down hard but I landed intact!

The crew were stuck there for about 6 years before an epic rescue mission returned them all successfully to Kerbin.

Other than that, landing order was...

Mun, Minmus, Duna, Dres, Moho, Laythe, Vall, Eeloo, Pol, Bop

[Umlüx]

duna. then eve (what a pain..), followed by jool (orbit)

going outwards seems easier than inwards...

[NeoMorph]

The sun. Yes, the SUN.

Bah.... You must think you are hot stuff eh, wot? Did you remember to pack your shades?

[Henri von Braun]

duna. then eve (what a pain..), followed by jool (orbit)

Got the same thing. Jool is peanuts compared to Moho

[MockKnizzle]

If we're counting back to KSP savefiles of yore, then Duna. But on my most current... Eeloo, believe it or not. Although it was a little bit more like high-speed lithobraking as opposed to a traditional landing. Also our valiant hero Dersen was completely out of fuel with no hope of a Kerbin return. So I guess it was more a Kerbalized Viking funeral than anything else.

[Kanga]

I am yet to touch a planet or indeed a moon since starting KSP. I am simply terrible, but one day I will triumph...

[jwenting]

First landing on Duna yesterday. After a manned orbital mission, 3 Mun attempts (two of them failed, one spectacularly), and 4 Minmus attempts (two of them failed, one spectacularly).

Make that 3 attempts, of which the first failed at the last moment when the lander tipped over after it touched down gently (the same has happened to me on both the Mun and Minmus).

Now to fine tune my lander and rover design so the rovers actually drive out there, and not just on the launch pad.

[ThePyrateCaptain]

Well the first thing I landed on NOT IN THE KERBIN SYSTEM, was Earth.
