The Trouble With The Tiny Titan II

In the last post I introduced the Tiny Titan II. It is a highly successful design, and that is the trouble with the Tiny Titan II. You want to go on a round trip to Mun? Sure, no problem. Minmus and back? Piece of cake.

How is that a problem? Well, in Kerbal Space Program everything seems impossible until you do it. Once you do something, you begin to think it was easy. When you are convinced it was easy, you start wondering how much further out you could push into space. After all there is nothing that can't be solved by adding moar boosters!

Once you start thinking all crazy like that, the next thing you know you are on your way to Duna in your Mun rocket! But, but, that's impossible. You'll never make it....

Tiny Titan II Burning For Duna

You'll never make it until you do! Yeah, that is the Tiny Titan II in orbit around Duna. I read Duna has an atmosphere. It is thin but they claim you can use chutes when landing. Chutes don't need fuel. Landing should be fuel efficient, almost free. Hold on, I'm going in...

Tiny Titan II Orbiting Duna

What do you know, I landed on Duna with my Mun lander - the Tiny Titan II - Ta Daa!

That wasn't so bad. In fact it was kind of awesome. Look at it. Duna is beautiful.  

Tiny Titan II On Duna

There is just this one tiny little problem. It took way more fuel than I thought.
Now the tank is kind of empty. 

You know what that means don't you? Everybody's going to die? No....

Rescue Mission!

Stay tuned. The Kerbal Space Program is about to get real interesting.
