Kerbal Space Program


I was waiting for Birk to be available to help me with this one, because it looks entertaining, but only if you know what you're doing. After failing utterly at Beseige, I knew this game would not be fun if I attempted it on my own.


Hey look, I made a rocket! I sent Jebediah to space and back down, and had him evac once he hit the ground so he could walk around for no reason. That was pretty cool but then I found out they could go to the Moon... I mean, the Mun.


So (with a lot of help from Birk) I built a new rocket with a lunar lander, sent Jebediah, Bill, and Bob into space, learned (again, with a LOT of help from Birk) how the navigation works, then... well, Birk joked that I could evac a crew member before they hit the Mun, and how tragic that would be. So I did it, because I'm a terrible person.

I had taken a shining to Bob (he was my scientist, after all, and I was very insistent that there be science elements on my rockets) and Jebediah was my pilot so I felt like maybe he was necessary to the process of landing, so Bill jumped out of the pod a few hundred thousand meters above the surface of the Mun. He was never recovered.


But there's Jebediah and Bob on the Mun, getting ready to do the highly complex science experiment of "observe the mystery goo." (Turns out, it's less dense on the Mun. Who knew?)
