Kerbal Space Program - Interstellar Quest - Episode 90 - Landing In Reverse
After consideration it's decided to name this Eve bound space plane the John Patrick Mason, but before it heads to Eve we need one more test run to ensure that it can handle re-entry, descent and landing. Since we need an extra crew member on the Highlander a trip to Minmus will deal with both of these requirements. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QaJWgo8QrY
You guys have heard of this right?
Just a friendly reminder that it's launching tonight and the Delta IV always puts on a good show.

Moho is one of the hardest places to land in Kerbal Space Program, in addition to needing lots of delta-v to actually get there it has an atmosphere which will cause your engines to overheat. I try to cover what you need to know to make the actual landing and return as easy as possible.

Messing around in 1.1 without much success in part because I had a bunch of mods installed without checking they would work.....

The Outland is heading to the Mun and the 'Unnamed Descendant of Zardoz' is heading home. I learn to rebalance my fuel in flight, I make rocket fuel from the munar regolith, and smash expended hardware into the surface in the name of science.

The Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is a marvel of modern engineering, a 2.5 Meter Infrared telescope flying in a specially modified 747, able to fly high above the water vapour that makes IR astronomy almost impossible for ground based observatories. This facility is a joint project between NASA and DLR and is based out of the Armstrong flight research center in California.
However making a telescope that can fly in a plane and still be stable enough to do the required science is an engineering challenge. It's one that's solved by smart engineering rather than just brute force active gimbal control, a solution which Thanos would approve of.

We're looking for an old research institute on the abandoned home planet of the Elowan, the local thrynn don't like it but their ships are no match for mine. However the information from the institute takes us deep into Uhlek territory, a race that operates with a hive mind and arms its warships with Plasma Bolts.
Sadly I lost the save or something and had to go back, then I forgot to record, so we skip forward to a vacation at the city of ancients.

Greenland is mostly covered by a large ice sheet, but at the northern edge scientists have discovered a 31km wide impact crater, moreover it's possibly a very young crater. Created during the latter part of the Pleistocene age, colloquially known as 'the ice age'

With the new Strategia mod enabled I choose to go to the moon! The One called Iota, not the other moon, and definitely not the Mun. However, we're going to send probes first because you know we don't have any idea whether deep space is safe!
