Join Me.. to Eve and Back!

[Westi29]

I have started a mission to send the three original Kerbonauts; Jeb, Bill, and Bob to Eve and back!

I'm hoping to get this up in a total of 5 videos over the next 5 days, with each video having its own highlight reel as well.

Wish me luck!

Day 2!

We are docked and in LKO! Now we must head off to Eve! Also, we build and launch our Eve Project III refueling drone and send it to Eve just behind our manned mission!

Thanks for watching!

Looks rather good, but it'd be a lot more interresting if you'd built the thing using stock parts!

[Westi29]

Thanks! And most of the mods will make it into the stock game in the future so I'm just ahead of the game! Hahaha

Day 3: We get both of our crafts into an Eve orbit, undock our blimp lander, and touchdown on Eve's purple soils!

I was just fiddling with making a reusable Eve lander and had come up with a very similar design to yours. Diseased minds think alike .

An Eve colony needs some way of sending decently large ships back up on a fairly routine basis and there seem to be only 2 ways to do this. Either you go with Extraplanetary Launchpads and build disposable lifters on-site, or you use Hooligan's blimps. I'm rather dissatisfied with EL in its present state so have decided to go the blimp way when I get around to doing Eve.

And watch out for the high gravity on Eve! It will destroy solar panels and other hanging things quite easily. She's a succubus that Eve.

Day 4: We get Jeb back aboard the lander blimp-rocket and dock the refueling drone to Bob's Fly. We refuel, undock, and 'land' the probe into the purple drank. We then switch back to the lander and GTFO of Eve's terrible atmosphere. Her purpleness is like an Oprah movie.

Day 5: We redock our manned vehicles, ditch everything on the lander but the reentry craft, and head home! We end with a splashdown and recovery on Kerbin. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate the highlight vids, and the other vids being fairly brief. There's sooooo many 30 and 40+ minute KSP videos on YouTube.

[Westi29]

Thanks! I try to keep my videos under 20 minutes and the highlights to around 2mins each!
