Exploration is done, we now need to take our crew back, no more 8 hour drives across the surface instead the Gilly team are performing an old fashione orbital rendezvous, but for a challenge we do the docking without using RCS.

Canada developed the remote manipulator system for the Space Shuttle program, this was an essential piece of hardware for many missions even though it wasn't always flown.

As the final pieces of the exploration ship Sleipnir lock into place we experience a phantom force situation that results in significant damage to the ship before we undock the new drive section.
Fearing the months of boredom associated with these kind of incident inquiries the crew instead fix the ship as best they can and decide to demonstrate its space worthiness with a mission to minmus.

Kerbal Space Program is an indie game developed by Squad, download it from http://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com
