Hehe, just unlocked the last of the vanilla science; with a good 1k+ science points left over even. A trip to Moho netted nearly 4k science points from just about draining everything dry.

Never actually went to the Jool system, but I have flags on both Kerbin moons, Eve, Moho, and Duna.

Then you know what you must do next.

So I have a kerbalnaut currently on an escape velocity from Minmus and am not quite sure how to get him home.  I have a metric buttload of fuel on board but I only have 1.82 electric charge left (out of 1150, very wasteful of me) so I don't have the luxury of experimenting around with a lot of different thrust vectors.  What's the best way to get on a collision course with the atmosphere?

Don't your thrusters generate electricity?

[Aseaheru]

Depends on the engine. The short engine is no-power generating.

That was weird. I'm sure everything is okay.

[Aseaheru]

OH GOD. THAT IS WONDEROUS. PLEASE TELL ME JEB OR BOB WAS FLYING.

That was weird. I'm sure everything is okay.

Don't tell us you don't know what that's referencing.

Man, I gotta get to Jool.

I watched the films back in the 90's when I was a teenager. It seems to be affecting just one Science Jr. I have two probes docked to a ship that is intended for Laythe. It's too bad the interior of this one probe isn't different, like turning all the lights from blue to red.

There are randomized messages.  I've noticed a couple Crew Reports that only appeared once for me in the same conditions.

[BigD145]

Aw. I screwed up and dipped into Jool's atmosphere while maneuvering in map mode. The ship icon stopped showing way before so I wasn't certain where it was.

The whole ship is unmanned.

pretty soon KSP will be 'Event Horizon': The Game. *shudders*

[BigD145]

The station orbital speed is 6660.6 m/s and it's pointing at Jool. I think I recreated the conditions for Event Horizon. Tom Kermin is freaking out. I await the day I link up a power hub and Tom gouges out his own eyes.

I gave the station power.
DON'T GO TO JOOL

KSPaint Adventures would make for cool horror.

Well, after my earlier, failed attempts, I finally managed to get a "Lifeboat" down to Jeb on the Munar surface. I'm not sure he was ready to come back yet, but either way he's back in Munar orbit with Bill and they both have a refueled vehicle to get back to Kerbin with. Only minor problem is I had to try to land a lander with no lights on the dark side with only a small floodlight on the cottage (and the hud, I guess) as a target.

All is well once again... at least until we see how they can screw this simple return mission up.

[Leonon]

I just watched Event Horizon today. For reasons completely unrelated to this thread.

Tom Kerman: I am home.

I have to say I'm pretty miffed at the Sensor Array Nosecone. While it brings back ok science (20-24) it claims to be giving you ten times that until you actually transmit or recover it.
