Nox Aerospace Mun colonization

[noxcarakus]

This is not nearly as impressive as some of the logs I've read, but it is my first mostly successful all manually piloted mission, so happy me

The mark 1 Mun habitat, one lucky Kerbal gets to be sent to find out what the Mun is made of.

Lifter and habitat after launch, Shelwig Kerman looking rather stoic on the untested launcher.

Starting the gravity turn, Shelwig still checking instruments

Near Kerbal eclipse

Waiting for braking burn to circularize orbit

Setting up for landing

Successful touchdown, Shelwig is happy to finally be able to stretch his legs

Habitat module deployed and flag planted. Shelwig's first thought, "And they said it was made of dryer lint"

Bill and Jebediah, preparing for trans lunar injection in research base

Coming in for orbital burn

Coming in hot

Deployed and landed, 34 Km from Shelwig. Bill supposedly did it on purpose because of his "need for speed", and needing to test the rovers.

Bill, heading to pick up Shelwig and bring him to base.

Getting some air, and the flat tires afterwards. Not a good start for the sparky mark 1 rovers.

Second accident, after some more air

No correction this time, too much air and speed, Bill gets ejected...

Sadly, bill did not have enough pack fuel to either get into orbit, or save himself...R.I.P Bill Kerman

That Munbase looks really cool, poor Bill though, story mode is going to be tough once it comes along for losing Kerbals.

Thanks . Though I have had to rebuild the entire base, updated a couple mods and ended up breaking my save, so new mun colonization mission in progress now, with kethane and IPL.
