To Infinity* And Beyond!

This is it, the big boys, we are going *drum roll* interplanetary! Our first craft, the Daring Dres made it into Kerbin orbit with ease; such ease that our lifter section still had a bit of fuel left in it and so it too will be staying in orbit to give us a push out of Kerbin's influence when the time comes for it. I had sent a probe of similar design to Dres before however I wanted to be able to collect all the lovely crew and EVA reports that Dres had to offer. As I was last in the line when they were handing out imagination, The Daring Dres, as well as having an aweful name, looks exactly like my original Dres probe but with a crew pod where the probe core was and some landing legs awkwardly sticking out of the bottom; leading to a rather less impressive design.

I hope you like waiting because it's going to be a long time until your transfer window

Next was the good ship " 'ello Eeloo". It was a multi-stage rocket built in orbit. It had a lander, a science module and a tug section at the front. The idea was that when we got to Eeloo, the three sections would separate: the lander would go to the suface with 1 kerbal, the science module would occupy a low Eeloo with 2 kerbals and the tug would occupy a slightly higher orbit. When the lander was finished and the kerbal had stretched its legs, it would return to orbit and then decouple the capsule which would then dock with the tug and be taken back to kerbin. Alas, however, as it started to depart its long residence around Kerbin, it met with a violent wobble, quickly shaking out of control until the ship disintegrated. The sole survivor of this disaster said in an interview that from his cabin window he could see nothing but a gigantic tenticle gripping the ship however, when he tried to distinguish more detail, the beast, whatever it was, disappeared. We shall call this monster the kraken and we have vowed to avenge the deaths of the two brave adventurers we lost that fateful day.

Our last ship for this instalment was the Duna Dart. Agreed by many to be a work of art it was therefore originally destined to be put on display in the Tate Modern however, some pencil pushing, good for nothing lab coat mentioned that they had spent a lot of money on it and therefore go into space at least once before it was retired. With a mumble of dissent, it was put into orbit, to await its transfer window.

The Duna Dart is love, The Duna Dart is life
