Another Minmus Rift Discovered! (And this one is huge!)

[turkwinif]

The story goes that I have a ship in an inclined orbit around Minmus at very low altitude (about 6750m). As I'm zooming over the surface, I notice something peculiar: there's a giant "X-marks-the-spot" in the terrain! I try to memorize what the terrain surrounding the "X" looks like, and I quickly send a rover. I land in a nearby flats, forgetting where this rift was to begin with. So I just picked a direction and started roving. Luckily, I chose the right direction, because my path ran right towards the rift! I actually had a pretty close call when nearing the rift and slowing down, my rover barely made the jump from the lower level to the higher level of the rift. This is in HIGH terrain detail, I do not know if it still exists in lower levels. Coordinates for it are 41°45'51''S, 63°22'9''W. I'm very surprised that this hasn't been spotted before. I aptly named it the X-Rift. Here are the pics-o-proof!

EDIT2: It appears as if this rift goes on for kilometers and kilometers on end, although it's less pronounced and harder to follow the farther out from the X you get.

Awe man, pic problems! I'll have to go find the rift myself if those pics don't stop giving you trouble.

Oh nvm, pics are here.

Now, you see that is not actually a rift. Previous Kerbals have visited Minmus before and have found new uses for the surface of Minmus. Where do you think Kerbals get their mint ice cream from?

Either that or it is a giant monster hiding under the surface waiting to eat your kerbal.

It's the zipper used to unzip Minmus' skin. Since the game is still in alpha, Squad wasn't sure if they might want to change the look of Minmus later, so they made the surface detachable so it could be easily changed. Also makes it much easier to wash if it gets dirty.
