Hello? Anyone here?
-
1. Use parachutes 2. try docking first 3. use a probe first 4. get to minmus first.
-
Have you guys attempted docking yet? also parachutes are useful for landing on duna using as little fuel as possible. Pics?
-
-
That's awesome! I had my first inter-planetary rocket on accident to duna also! Do not take a risk trying to land with your engines. Use the parachutes! Great job!
-
That's a huge step backward from a mun landing. You land on the mun and now you want to get to 10k?
-
I dont know of how much of a space station that really is. You should probably launch a tuna can and a few large solar panels and alot of fuel. make it look more space station(ey)
-
See... docking isn't so hard. (Semi-Tutorial)

Great whiterider. -
Great job! A first landing feels great, Doesn't it?

Hmm, You should make the nuclear engine decouple-able and have the probe use two parachutes. It then can land with a higher chance of not blowing up. I suggest not doing a manned mission due to the size of the lander and returner. I suggest duna for another target. Requires more delta-V but is a nice place. If you do a manned mission there in the future maybe it could land by parachutes or glide like a plane. Use areo spikes for the plane idea afor theirs no oxygen. Always do unmanned missions first for two reasons. 1. Check if your idea works. 2. Save a possible life in case it fails. Also remember it takes more fuel to land or take off with a actual capsule because they weigh a lot more. But nice job getting into orbit! Once I was getting a probe into orbit but it was failing, So i improvised and was able to intersect the mun's orbit and now it's a mun orbiter. Remember, If something doesn't go to plan try to improvise. Especially with manned capsules. If it cannot return and is manned, Send a rescue probe or crew with fuel or a habitat module.

Ok, Sounds good. Try to get a kerbal in orbit now
-
Well, I can't see the pictures but sounds good.
-
*Slowly claps* Great job. you guys should take a look at the lander for your lander(s)
-
That looks good. Also, Looks l3g1t d4wg, go 4h34d.

Welp, Nice job on the manned satellite and yeah, Docking is really hard. I've had a ton of failed satellites to the mun. I would suggest having a unamnned mission to the mun first. And remember, Safety first! Maybe you could try and take a three or two man capsule into space and have a mini space station with solar panels and science equipment.
