Spaceplane to Laythe! Part 1

[DVGamesInc]

I've been playing KSP for a long time now, ever since 0.18 as a matter of fact. I've gone to every planet in the Kerbol system, but only with rockets. For the first time, in 0.23, I've managed to get a spaceplane to somewhere besides Kerbin's SOI! I finally put in the effort to make a plane that can go to Laythe! Completely stock! Well except for mechjeb... So without further babbling, I present to you...

This beauty has only 500-600mps left when in orbit, but can easily be refueled as shown below.

Cinematic Time!

When I finally got into orbit, I noticed something wrong... Jeb was the pilot! I had promised myself that I wouldn't send any of the famous three on a mission they might not return from (Even though Jeb's piloting skills are unmatched by any other kerbal), so Sheldon happily took his place.

Then Jeb returns to the KSC.

Now that Sheldon is in control, the window of opportunity has arrived! He begins a fairly quick burn to Jool.

When the correction burns are over, more cinematic moments take place.

After Laythe aero-capture.

That's it for part one! Next, I will send a refueling canister to Laythe and proceed to land at the colony and hopefully embark on some one man exploration missions.

Hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for part two!
