    While cheating to get an asteroid back to Kerbin, I found that at Coordinate 0,0 under the sea, is a radar dish. Perhaps a relic from Ground Station creation?

    The Antonov AKS was a colossal Soviet launch platform proposal based on two An-225 planes (already the largest in the world) joined together, allowing rockets or spaceplanes to be carried between them

    I am so sorry. He died in atmosphere when he was returning back from Mun orbit. I'm not going to let anyone else die from lack of fuel in the rocket. (Playing KSP for the first time)

    Newb here, loving the game. I finally figured out how to consistently attain a safe\efficient orbit.

    I did it! I completed the Jool 5 challenge :D

    Posted: 30 May 2021 11:21 AM PDT

    I'm not sure if this one was randomly generated or simply hard coded into the game, but I did it: the Jool 5.

    I made over 4 million kerbal dollars (or whatever the currency is called) from it. After messing up several times and having to launch aid (extra fuel, extra parts, a different lander, etc.) I landed on all 5 moons of Jool.

    From the outer moons I worked my way in. First, I went to Pol, then Bop, then Tylo. Up until here, everything went fine (except for needing to refuell once). Then I found out that the lander I had planned for Vall didn't have enough delta V to get back into orbit, so I changed it up a bit. I used the Laythe lander to get to Vall and back and refuelled it so I could use it again, which worked just fine!

    So, with 4 of the moons down, all that was left to do was Laythe. And this is where I had apparently messed up the most. Doing a mission like this in KSP can be done by landing the same part on every planetary body you need to go to. I created a core module out of the mk1 lander can, slapped some RTG's, batteries and docking ports to it and made a few different lander modules for the different planetary bodies. This worked like a charm for the moons that lack an atmosphere, but on Laythe it worked like a bitch.

    Landing worked, but launching was impossible. Not only would the craft flip after a while due to the center of mass moving up, I didn't even have enough delta V to get back into orbit. I launched an additional module from Kerbin: a nosecone with some additional fuel and some fins (it looked really ugly). I don't have any pictures of it, but eventually I found out that it couldn't get to orbit using this craft either. I quicksaved, and came up with a different plan.

    I built an SSTO wit a cargo bay that could fit the core module inside, and send it to Laythe. As this is the biggest thing I built for the entire mission. The launch system for it was ridiculous, but eventually I got it to Laythe. It was easy to get to a landing spot, but landing was another thing. After trying and trying over and over again, I autostrutted the biggest parts and with a few more attempts (a total of 50 at least), I landed on Laythe as well!

    No time to waste, I immediately went back to orbit. This was incredibly easy, as I had tested the SSTO on Kerbin and got it to orbit there. I had fuel to spare when I got into orbit, rendezvoused with the mother ship and docked the core module to the mothership again. I thought I was done, but no.

    The mission specified that I had to land on Bop last. So, I took the entire mothership, landed on Bop, and hoped I got the mission. It didn't: it specified the craft had to be newly launched. Turns out the mothership wasn't gonna qualify for the mission because I welded a few monopropellant tanks to it. I had one last trick up my sleeve: detach the core module and let it 'land' on Bop. This worked!

    I made about 4 million currency, but all together the mission cost me at least 3 million to pull off. But the real reward is finally being able to delete the 300 quicksaves I made for this mission...
