Nice! . Since i restarted with the new Career mode Eve is the only place i haven't visited. I was planning on sending and retrieving 3 kerbals (didn't know if this was even possible). But now i am inspired to do more. Maybe i can bring back some science equipment or something. Nice Design You have improved quite a bit in the past months, I haven't seen anything like this yet.

Nice job Darth
