Mun at Last!!

[Apollo13]

After many trials and tribulations, I finally got here and back. This is just the lander. The command vehicle was orbiting above.

But, not without incident. I had too much side velocity when I landed, so it fell over on its side. I folded the landing legs, used RCS to stand almost upright, and extended the legs again. Next time, I'll do it the right way.

Well done!

If you mean with “the right way†that you want to do things “the Kerbal way†then I think you already did it the right way.

Good job!

Congrats!! No matter which side you landed on, it doesn't look like anything broke, therefore -> perfect kerbal touchdown!!

[Scotius]

Nice legs...on a lander Which part pack it is from?

[lajoswinkler]

Good job!

[leax256]

looks like my first lander. course that was before nucular engines and docking so it was a one way mission.

Mun at last...Mun at last...Thank Kod almighty, we have Mun at last!

Congrats on your first Mun landing! Things can only go up from here.

[Apollo13]

Thanks, guys. Now, I'm off to the planets!

Congratulations....

Good job bud, getting to the mun and back is a huge leap. Now time to get a station up and hone your skills for getting to other planets!

It looks like he knows one of two answers to the question "What does my rocket need?"

In this case, moar struts.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

If the craft can take off again, it's even better!

Thanks. I started putting together the orbiting station before the Mun landing, as practice for docking.
