Flyby Suggestions

I was playing around with the launch window calculator and came up with a 1,968 m/s trajectory to Jool that takes about four years. I thought I might be able to create a trajectory to another planet so I did some more exploring.

Apparently I have options to make it to all planets, here are the ones summarized.

Moho Flyby

2 years

3328 m/s

Eve Lander

2 years

3092 m/s

Risky Kerbin Return

3 years

2969 m/s

Duna Lander

2 years

2968 m/s

Dres Flyby

3 years

2898 m/s

Risky Eeloo Flyby

6 years

2819 m/s

The ones I labeled risky are ones where if I burn just a little bit off the DV requirements could double (or in Eeloo like quadruple).

I have been to Duna and Eve. From a science and fun perspective where do you recommend I go? I could also do a Jool system for about 1000 m/s but might not be so much science as I would like.

Go to Moho and Dres. Then go to Jool and Eeloo. But don't sit around and wait. Just go! That's what I do. Burn for escape into a similar orbit as Kerbin and then make a maneuver node to go anywhere.

I came up with a trajectory for a Jool-Dres flyby

I haven't ever been to Dres before so it shall be most interesting!

I've never done a gravity assist with planets. Interesting.

I recently smashed several probes into dres in the name of science. More boring than I thought it would be.
