![]() ![]() Now we’re getting to the fun stuff in KSP. Hell, if you accidentally hit the jump button on the surface you’re in for a ten minute suborbital flight kilometers above the ground, rocket or EVA pack not even needed. Flying down via an EVA jetpack from an orbiting ship is even easier. Landing isn’t even a thing other than gently colliding with the large rock. What applies to Minmus applies here ten-fold. It’s in a goofy inclined and eccentric orbit around Eve and is so small it’s hard to get an encounter with. Gilly is sort of hard to get too because it’s little more than a glorified captured asteroid. While Eve itself is a literal hell in KSP, it’s little shitty moon is nothing like its parent planet. Eve is close and takes little fuel to get to, has a massive gravity well, and takes the shortest amount of in-game time to get to. Gilly is a moon of Eve (and well get to Eve much much later…) and is one of the first places you might go after leaving the Kerbin system. If you can manually fly down with a jetpack landing a proper lander is obviously going to be easy. Sure you might get low on fuel or have a rough time getting back to your ship, but this shows how much of a joke landing here is. Park a ship in orbit, get a kerbal out, and fly him/her down. It’s one of the few bodies in the game you can EVA jetpack down to the surface on. It’s also in an inclined orbit so newer players might have trouble figuring out how to deal with that.īut Minmus has laughably low surface gravity. It’s also tiny and has a miniscule sphere of influence getting an encounter is a pain. It’s a moon of Kerbin, just like the Mun, but it’s pretty far away. Minmus is actually easier to land on than the Mun, but I’m putting it afterwards just because of where it is. No atmosphere to worry about means you can zip straight into orbit. Leaving the moon is literally the opposite of landing. Sure there’s no atmosphere but that makes it easier in a way you have to land with rocket engines and can’t rely on parachutes/wings/aerobraking to land. It’s close, easy to get to, has a relatively large sphere of influence, and has low gravity. It’s the perfect place to begin your journey exploring the game. ![]() The first place away from Kerbin most players visit. ![]()
