Manned Mission To Laythe Orbit

[Rockhem]

I have finally sent a manned mission to Laythe orbit and return, It was quite a bit of a challenge to do so.

The launch of the ~50 ton propulsion which is used to propel the craft to Jool, and then correct on the way in to get to Laythe.

The Launch of the 5 ton Command Module which houses the crew of three:

The Docking of the two modules united the craft, making a complete interplanetary vehicle.

One of the largest burns, of this craft is the escape from kerbin, on the trajectory to jool.

Aerocapture at Laythe (the interplanetary transfer is a whole lotta empty space, who want's to see that?)

After the orbit is corrected, the commander is inspecting the connection between the two spacecraft, checking it for burning back to Kerbin

Burning to escape the fierce grips of Laythe

Reentry

Flimsy pieces of cloth opening.

Openin' some moar

These guys have spent so much time in space i don't think that they were actually standing, they had to get help from the recovery team to stand (super thin wire above them holding them up.) Too much time in space, no treadmill.

My next mission will be landing a rover to scout for a good landing site for the Manned Laythe Mission. The Manned Laythe mission will pave the way for a colony on laythe, and that will pave the way for a space hotel where rich kerbals will spend all their money and go surfing while wearing a winter coat...... (if it is found habitable) (ey, the lander proved that it was at about -14 degrees C at the landing site that so far looks like where the manned mission will be.) Small amounts of laythe atmosphere were collected during the aerocapture and given to scientists all around kerbin to study, and see if Laythe is habitable for Kerbin.

This Laythe Mission will be huge, it will just blow kerbals away, even Jebediah will be slightly amazed.....................
