They all said I was mad...

But then I showed them. I landed the damn thing.

Holy Kerb! That's awesome!

[pauix]

Nice job!

The unmanned modules with extra parachutes are a really smart idea, I'm totally borrowing it for my asteroid deorbiter

[Levelord]

Asteroids seem to float too. Either the asteroid is hollow or Kerbin's ocean is made of something that is as dense as mercury.

[Francesco]

Technically you don't even need parachutes, you can just crash them on Kerbin and they won't break/explode

[FanaticalFighter]

That probe/parachute idea is genius. Also, when I saw the title, I knew it'd be something like this

[Mork]

LoL, that is awesome.

How much impact tolerance do the asteroids have? On kerbin I guess they slow down to less than 200 m/s on kerbin anyway.

Thinking about hitting Mun or hitting with an impactor probe.

If unbreakable we might use a small one as Moho litobreaking device. hit Moho in 4 Km/s after impact decouple ship and land beside asteroid.

Well, how else do you think a 600 km planet can produce nearly 10 m/s² gravity?

[Yarrula]

Nice job. That's a very impressive monument to add to the KSC. I had a similar idea about the unmanned RCS clusters as well, though I wasn't up to trying to land the thing. I was going to go with orbital station keeping instead.

[Voculus]

Respect!

[Padishar]

Nice job... now try to drop it on top of the VAB...

That would probably destroy the ship attached to it. If not, there's something very weird about the physics of the Kerbal universe...aside from the weirdness we already know about, of course.

Like an plane with infiniteglide in atmosphere and kraken drive for deep space?

Wonder what happens if you use the kraken drive pushing an asteroid.

[Frank_G]

And now... Launch it back into space!

[RW-1]

Very nice caption to the first image, of course you landed it on the loudest kerbal to say you were mad yes?

This made my day, thanks!

They sure are hollow. Even Kerbal fuel tanks are more dense than these asteroids.

I think that it's more about icredible buoyancy of parts attached to asteroid, if you "unclaw" all probes it will drown like rock in the water.

[Xacktar]

Good. Now turn it into a rover.

[NecroBones]

Nicely done! I'm going to plan on doing something similar.

[randomness5555]

Mini parachute probes-aww man you beat me to it! I would have had engines on them too. However, while I can go to other planets, I can't do rondevuexs (I know it's spelt wrong) so getting an asteroid might take a while :|

[Belial]

So.. now we can start putting roids in orbit and setup bases/stations on them?
