Your Favorite planet/moon!

[MrPopcup]

I know it has been asked million of times, but it got old and no one looked at it,

So simply say your fav planet/moon and also say why? what you like the most about it? what you would like to see added to it?.. those kind of questions

for me:

I like Duna the most,

Duna feels like kerbin, if not more, it's red.. polar caps.. it's just an amazing place to live on, with a big 'rock' floating in the sky, and it's sand blowing off at my helmet ( dat poem! ).

I'd like to see more stuff on duna, like a huge mountain ( which exists now, 7 km high I believe ), with a cave under it, some clouds here and there, also some wind making tornado's ( dust devil's ) , something more intresting under the ground to make 'science' out of it, like finding water..etc.

So yeah! your turn!

P.S: you can post 2 planets and two moons.

Laythe! Why not? It's a great place to put a base.

[Outback_Zach]

I like Minimus, it reminds me of mint ice cream. Also it had cool terrain and low gravity perfect for exploration.

[hempa2]

mün because im addicted to jump around there derping =O

[Captain Sierra]

I like Lathe, which is a problem because Jool HATES me. Duna is a nice one too, but can be a bit tricky to land on. Though I have been aiming for mostly unpowered descents.

[Odo]

I like Duna alot because its red :3

I also love Eloo, even though Ive never been there. I love snow. Its next on my checklist to land on!

[WillHop]

Duna - its the best place to pull off a really intricate mission without high risk of failure

How does Jool hate you? The Delta V required to get there?

[Wait- Was That Important?]

Duna, because it's easy to build a reusable architecture for colonizing and exploring it. Ike is fun too.

[Goldham]

I quite like Minmus, its just cool, and you can haul good loads of kethane up to orbit if you do it right.

[Captain Sierra]

EVERY mission sent runs out of fuel for some reason or another, ends up retrograde, crashes, or gets slingshotted out of the system into interplanetary space.

Lost at least 5 probes and a manned mission with Jeb, Bill, and Bob on board so far,

[WillHop]

ends up retrograde

Can somebody clarify why ending up in retrograde orbit is so undesirable? My Duna mission went fine and I was in a retrograde orbit - is it something to do with the Oberth effect?

[zxczxczbfg]

Personally, I think Jool is beautiful, as long as you don't get too close. Dat moon system.

Well, with Jool, you probably want to visit/land on the moons. These orbit in the prograde direction, which may prove inconvient if you're orbiting retrograde .

[TUFOM]

Most definedly Duna at this point. So many succcess stories with reasonable amount effort. Next thing I am planning large base there but first I need to flag every darn thing in solar system. =)) Is there good mod for base making? Just found this: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-18-1-h-o-m-e-start-kit/ but dunno if it's any good. Don't want mess up the game, NovaPunch is awesome though. Just right amount of kick but not making things too easy.

Edit: Laythe seems to be very interesting. Going to make mission there next.

Ohh, okay that makes sense. Always confused me, that did

[The Destroyer]

Gilly because that little guy has so little Gravity, you can land with NERVAS or RCS even!

Dres has my favourite canyon.

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

Dres FTW!

all on it's own it looks so peaceful.

[Keldor]

Pol!! Gotta love those spiky ridges! Also, low gravity and eccentric orbit are fun.

[Captain Sierra]

This. Try circularizing around Pol with an ion probe whilst going retrograde.

[Annikovka]

Duna, it is awesome because it has an atmosphere, ice caps, a moon and a solid surface, so it is close to Kerbin, so it is great for a base because it has many interesting Easter eggs

[Scotius]

Laythe, just ahead of Duna. Then Jool. And Gilly

[yete1]

I love Ike because of its similarity to the Mun. Basically, I see it as a home away from home.

[tstehler1]

Mun, because reenacting Apollo missions in my Kerpollo ship makes me feel like a badass.

Minmus, because you can jump a million miles.

Jool, because everyone who goes near it gets physicsed.

EDIT: Yes, physicsed. The past-tense verb of when physics hates you and attacks you violently.

[SkyRender]

Pretty much all of the asteroid-moons (Gilly, Bop, Pol, and even Minmus) get my vote for favorite. Excessively low gravity combined with fantastic hills and valleys to explore; what's not to love? Of them all, Pol is my current favorite due to its terrain scatter adding those spire-like rock formations.
