Bob Kerman Confronts the Dres Canyon

[Dem Wot Goz Ub]

Following recent theories by top astronomaz that "dat big blak fing on Dres mus be big if we'z seein it from ere", a ship was dispatched from KSC to figure out what, exactly, could put a crack like that in a planet.

We still don't know, but it's pretty big.

Remember landing where, lander worked fine but the kerbals was unable to walk up to it again.

Wha... how? That landing leg is almost vertical!

Keyword: "almost".

I just laughed really hard.

You make it all the way to Dres, you're not aborting the landing for a little hill like that.

I love the crater on Dres, my mission there has missed it's 4th or 5th return window to Kerbin just because it is such a playground!

Dres Canyon is really cool, infact Dres is really cool.

3 cheers for Dres being a great, yet understated place.

How do you like my little surface excursion landers (I call them "Wild Things" for obvious reasons)? They still need a little tweaking, but they work alright for now.

Designed that lander to be able to land anywhere. Very wide with an low center of mass. But yes I did not realize how hilly it was or I would landed at the bottom.

Dres reminds me of a on old lego space set at my grandparents place, with its craters, and undulating terrain.

My mission missed the canyon, (blame Jeb,) but was a short drive away from a nice crater.

Wait, your Kerbals are orks?

That would explain the moar boosters approach. Serious lack of dakka, though.

Dres is awsome. Easy to go(not with DV but capturing), easy to land on.

How wide is this canyon exactly? If its under 2.5 km someone should try to make a bridge across.
