Finally got my base on the Mun finished.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

From left to right is the Kethane and Base core (it houses the reactor), followed by several of the relay rovers, then the launch pad to send missions off to Jool or something, and finally the mining and ore processing rig.

Now to use this to build and send a smaller more compact version to Vall or Tylo.

I see empty docking ports.

Welp, just pulled off my second ever docking. It was much easier to do it in Munar orbit than in low-Kerbin orbit, so I've got significantly less of everything than I'd hoped.

Now what?

[Eric Blank]

Dock interplanetary drives and put your kerbals on Laythe.


I've never docked anything before. I really need to if I'm going to do any manned missions to other planets.


In planet-related news, I successfully put a probe in orbit around Eve, and landed a surface probe to send back data. 1200 science points form that mission so far. I'm going to see if I can get the probe in orbit around Gilly/put a surface probe down there.

Alright, here's my challenge:

Iron Man

*SNIP*

I just remembered that this this video exists. It successfully completes your challenge, excluding return, if I am not mistaken, at about 0:57.

It's likely that game cheats were used.

But we all just want to beeeelieeeve.

[WillowLuman]

I don't see a head there

[Mageziya]

I don't see a head there

The Kerbal IS the head.

I dunno, I suppose you're right.

The mission to Dres was a great success!:

Getting home is another question entirely, I only have enough fuel to reach Duna, but not enough fuel to actually orbit Duna.

Cue rescue mission!

Mission images, now with thumbnails!

Landed a rover on the Mun:

Occupational hazard, naturally.

Messing around with Jool:



That aerobraking maneuver was only done to put me in a safe orbit after doing science at the moons. Everything else was handled with slingshots. It still has roughly 3 km/s delta-v left.

Did you know you can take an EVA report from the external command chair?

Spoiler: Cue !!SCIENCE!! (click to show/hide)

[10ebbor10]

That is glorious. I'm going to do that as soon as possible.

[LoSboccacc]

well, how do guys make those opening struts for shuttle?

I finally managed to create a small spaceplane that can bring 1t in orbit and land safely (with far and deadly reentry)

Spoiler: landing after an orbit (click to show/hide)

but the cargo bay remains open - how do you have a closing panel of 1x1 struts without the robotic plugin? I know people do it but haven't found an explanation/way myself   

[Sean Mirrsen]

Landing legs and the structural pylon, I believe. At least until the landing legs got remodeled. Might not work so well now.

thanks. ended up with infernal robotics http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/37707-0-21-0-22-Magic-Smoke-Industries-Parts-Infernal-Robotics-0-8b-%2810-7-2013%29

there are gaps and seams.. I'd need a 1.5 panel

[Facekillz058]

I thought all was lost, that all science I was capable of reaching was exploited and used.
I WAS WRONG.
With a little bit of magic, I managed to get into HKO and research 3 goo canisters, get 2 EVA reports, and 2 Crew Reports.
All and all, I am satisfied.

Jeb, you've done us proud. Your efforts at Eve and Gilly has provided our program 4300 science points. We welcome you back.


EDIT: And with the completion of the Dres Probe mission, I've unlocked the entire science tree.
