Landing on gilly takes to long and everyone has been to minmus.

[Hodo]

Dres it is then... lol

[Nephf]

Dres is the fifth planet of the Kerbol star system. It is located between Duna and Jool in a somewhat eccentric and inclined orbit. It is considered to be the Ceres analog for the game.

Well...I don't know yet

go to dres.

but how do you build a replica of something that has never happened? You mean you want to do an asteroid landing? or you one to replica the conditions of an asteroid landing?

I actually say go to dres.

[squirtgun1234]

Yea, Dres is cool.

[Silverchain]

Pol would be a better match to Ceres than Dres is.

Well, but at Pol, the Location doesn't fit at all

Gilly is the best analogue to an asteroid KSP has. Dres is nowhere near that, its gravity is much too big.

What about Bop that's a good asteroid but Dres would be my second choice.

Well, in reallity, Jupiter has 62 moons. In KSP, Jool has 5. So I don't want to take one of them for an other purpose.

hmmm, i stand corrected, very interesting thankyou.

Am i right in saying it wasn't actually a landing? at least not intended to be?

[shoveycat]

Dres has MUCH More gravity that an asteroid, whereas landing on Gilly is practically a rendezvous, much more realistic

Gilly,You don't even need a lander to plant a flag on it!

With Gilly planting the flag would send it into orbit.
