The A.I.C. Transtan's Maiden Voyage To Eeloo

[Sun]

Space. It's big. At least possibly 130 billion light years. Join the A.I.C. Transtan on its maiden voyage to the depths of the Kerbol System.

LAUNCH

Day 1

Location: On The Launchpad

Rocket: A.I.C. Transtan

Jebediah Kerman: Are you sure the 30 of you want to go? I'd be happy to go along.

Tudbrek Kerman: I already told you, we don't have room for you.

Jeb: And it's too late to add some capacity for me?

Tudbrek: Nope. If you wanted room, you should have asked the engineers for-

COMPUTER AUTOMATED LAUNCH LIFTER SYSTEM :Launching in T-10

Tudbrek: I'd back up if I were you, Jeb. Both from the engine exhaust and if our rocket spontaneously disassembles.

Jeb: Oh yeah. Like the time that happened that caused Bill and Bob to die. The way I survived is because I had a parachute.

C.A.L.L.S: Launching in 3

Tudbrek: You better run, Jeb!

C.A.L.L.S.: 2

Tudbrek: Hurry, Jeb!

Jeb: Oh, right! I got distracted by the computer's voice! *runs to the VAB*

C.A.L.L.S.: 1

Jeb: Goodbye!

C.A.L.L.S.: 0. Igniting engines and..... Liftoff!

30 Minutes Later......

Location:Low Kerbin Orbit

C.A.L.L.S. is Deactivated

Tudbrek: Welcome to space, everyone. We'll be here for a long time, so don't start missing your family anytime soon.

hmm.. Not sure if I can answer the poll yet. But keep writing, I'm reading.

CHAPTER 1: EELOO TRANSFER BURN

Day 104

Location: 50 Megameter Kebin Orbit

Tudbrek got captured by Minmus while on EVA after the Transtan did its burn to raise its orbit to 50 Mm (50 Megameters). Tudbrek died when he slammed into the surface at 258 m/s.

So, Herbert Kerman took over as captain.

Herbert: Autopilot, get us to Eeloo at the next transfer window, inclination correction and all of that.

Mechjeb 2 Autopilot Assistant System: Yes, Captain.

Herbert:Could you also get me some more lemonade?

MJ2AAS: I'm already doing the transfer burn for you. My robot arms are full.

1 Minute Later

MJ2AAS: Everyone, get prepared for some g-forces! We're doing our transfer burn!

Herbert: I told you that NERVA engines don't produce very high g-forces! They only give us 0.2 Gs, which is about the same as Minmus gravity, give or take .1 G.

MJ2AAS: Doing Transfer Burn....

CHAPTER 2: EELOO ORBIT

Day 370

MJ2AAS: Initiating 10 minute braking burn.....

Herbert: 10 minutes?! That's almost as long as a Moho braking burn!

MJ2AAS: Those take 19 minutes. Where did your smartness go?

Herbert: I... don't know. I guess that the trip here took so long that I forgot things.

10 minutes later.......

MJ2AAS: Braking burn complete.

Herbert (to everyone): We are at Eeloo! Now we just need to circularize at periapsis.

MJ2AAS: I'll take care of it.

Herbert: Thanks.

Cool, nice story
