Kerbal Space Program? Anyone?
de_la_Nae:
Yaaay!
Poor Jeremiah survived. :D
KingOfIreland:
Yeah, you need hilariously little fuel to get back to kerbin from the mun or minmus. You just burn retrograde to the mun's orbit till you hit escape velocity, then aerobrake around kerbin, or lithobrake, I suppose.
TheCollyWolly:
So it turns out two-part Apollo-style Mun landers are really fucking difficult.
cesium133:
Yeah, my Mun lander was a one-parter. Last night I tried doing a replica of Gemini 7/6A (i.e. figuring out how to dock two spacecraft in orbit) and it was really difficult to get right.
TheCollyWolly:
Say what you want about the MechJeb mod/plugin, but docking two craft in orbit without it would take me about half a day. Seriously, go download it if you have the full version. It's incredibly useful even if you are "the hardcores" and don't use the autopilot. Docking without accurate data on your speed, distance, and approach times is an exercise in pure rage.
