So... Whats the current mission?

EDIT: Going to be a total noob here, and ask: how do you land on non-kerbin areas and then take off again? I've never accomplished it honestly And you guys are going to different planets and the like...

It's kinda complicated to explain, so I'd just suggest going to the KSP wiki and looking at the tutorials.

Thanks! In my attempt to lad, I got Jebidiah Kerman stuck into munar orbit... Now I gotta rescue him...

And actually, now that I think about it, I'd like a try, but I hope you don't mind some probe launching

[TheBronzePickle]

A good tip is to head for Minmus first. It's easier to get there, land, and get back from there than the Mun, and it's a lot more forgiving landing there since gravitational acceleration's low.

Getting a kerbal stranded in orbit would make for a good rescue mission, so maybe you should intentionally bite off more then you can chew.

... TO THE MUN THEN!

[PTTG??]

Anything that happens, happens. If you kill jeb or get him on a solar escape orbit... well, it's still the end of your turn. And one launch per turn!

[Karlito]

Jeb will come back to life a few days after, anyway.

[highmax28]

If Bill Kerman can last 5 years in solar orbit after I got him there, they can wait another two months orbiting the mun

The new save link isn't working either.

I am thinking my mission will be a rescue mission to Eve.
Does the stranded lander have docking ports?

[Carnwennan]

It doesn't have docking ports, though it shouldn't be hard to get close and EVA bill out of the lander.

[ank]

Guess I will have to bring a replacement lander then

I will try to get the mission done today, but my 8-ball tells me "Future uncertain, ask again later"

I forget to buy a Tech, so the next in line can buy Fuel Line tech before the next turn.

Ank Space Industries presenting:
Jeb to the Rescue!

Jeb has been on vacation the last couple of years, hanging out on the other side of Kerbin, after he managed to land on his head from space, and thus survive.

But when he received the SOS from Bill, he rushed back to KSC, snuck in at night and stole a craft intended for a Münar fly-by.
Jeb thought about not having enough dv to get to Eve and back, so he looked over the Kerbal Engineering Flowchart, and slapped 13 of the biggest boosters he could find.

He waited patiently for everybody to come to work, and blasted off right as they reached the tower.

"Imma comin' fer ya Bill! Hang on!"

"Damn, those boosters didn't last long"

"SPAAAAACE!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Let's check out the Mün on the way"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Hai Mün!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Man, getting to Eve sure is complicated"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Woah, those orbits don't match...."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Just a few adjustments, and there we go!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Not today Eve, Not today"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Bill, this is Jeb. Do you read me?"
"YOU CAME FOR ME!"
"Never leave a kerbal behind!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Orbital High Five bro!"
*SLAP*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Let's go home, Bill"
"Don't have to tell me twice!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"I'll miss you old lander, take care!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Imma just gonna point this thing at Kerbin"
"Nononono, let me drive!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Aaaaaaand, out of fuel again... damn..."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Bill, get out and push!"
"What, again!? you do it!"
"Nah, my, uhm, jetpack is busted, yeah, that's it!"
"It worked before with the orbital high five?"
"Just get out and push!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Sweet sweet air resistance! Oh I missed you!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*Splosh!*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"We made it! I love you Bill!"
"I like you too, Jeb!"

[IronTomato]

Jolly good show old chap! 

[PTTG??]

Excellent work!

It's time to start round 2!
Is everyone happy with the current technology buying system? Or would we like to try something different?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Should work pretty well, I think. When the research costs ramp up, we might actually run out of science points.
