Where it blows

Day 1: Jebediah could hardly wait. The maiden flight of Orion, a.k.a “Ol’ Boom-boom†was ready for launch. Along side of him were Bill and Bob. Bill was scared due to the fact the rocket was powered by 1000 nukes. Bob, well, he wasn’t exited or scared. As the final seconds ticked away, Jeb accidently fired the LES, meaning they couldn’t turn back. Once the rocket launched, explosions ravaged through the town. KSC staff, however, couldn’t hear it since they were in a sound-proof bomb shelter. Surprisingly, they got into orbit in less time than most rocket launches, at 2.15 minutes. “Jeb, how’s everyone doing up there?†radioed Gary Kerman, Capsule Communicator of the flight. Jeb replied with “Fine, except for Bob and Bill barfing due to motion sickness.†Ever since the first rocket flight, Kerbal 1, motion sickness has been a problem, and KSC had no idea what caused it.

Day 50: After about 105 orbits, they could finally transfer to Duna. Even with nukes powering the rocket, it took 10 minutes to transfer. Bob could hardly wait to get to Duna, as he would pilot a lander that could land everywhere! Plus, it would be his first time being up close to Duna.

Day 165: Duna. Where Kartains are believe to live at. Still, Bob could never be happier. The crew finally got to Duna.

Day 205: It was 5 minutes until they could move to the DM to land on Duna. Suddenly, there was an explosion and the pod was spinning. “Jeb, what the heck happened? I said not to throttle up the engines and turn to starboard!†yelled Gary. “It wasn’t me! I swear!†said Jeb, confused about the situation. “Uh oh, when I throttle up, we don’t go any faster!†said Bill, screaming his head off. Suddenly, KSC, and the crew, went silent. Then, Flight director, Gene Kerman, yelled “THE POD FELL OFF THE ROCKET? GOD DAMNIT, KRAKEN, WHY DO YOU RUIN EVERY SINGLE INTERPLANETARY FLIGHT?!?!†Now, everyone realized that the crew was stranded. As communications faded out, the crew was stuck alone, with only each other.

This is all the data there is left of the flight. The rescue team found the craft, and inside were the bodies of Bill, Jebediah, and Bob Kerman. When Erlock Kerman poked all of the crew, it was determined they were dead.

You should use more struts. And stick to boosters. Orion drive right now looks like a Kraken bait to me.
