Everyone who is seeing this, do not click that link. it is asking you to sign up for a sketchy looking casino website thing.

ok so apparently Kennethmer deleted his account. Not a surprise, it was probably just to scam people.

Altaïr ?

Can you provide a picture of when you were on mars surface?
And also what we mean by achievements picture is the one that steam edition calls the "mission log", not the one that says what you earned.

Oh okay.

Here it is, I had to re-do the mission, and the mission log was a bit long so I split it into 2 separate images, but I got the photos:

I appreciate the effort you went to, but we need a consistent series of screenshots.
You seem to have learnt how to fly better the second time and landed on Mars with more fuel than you had when entering the martian atmosphere the first time, which is good improvement but it does mean that this second mission needs screenshots for everything as well in order to be consistent...

Ok. I will do it again. This time with a full series of screenshots.

Oh, you go on your profile, and there should be a tab that says: Signature. Just enter the text there!

I hope this is one of the last messages I make on this very long thread, also yet again the pics are not in order. Mooncrasher ?

Looks great, you finally have your badge.
You could save even more fuel in the future by improving your trajectories.
Let the atmosphere do more of the work for you in slowing you down so you don't need to use the engines as much.
And be sure to brake your interplanetary trajectory into an orbit as close as possible to the top of the atmosphere (or surface if there is no atmosphere) to take advantage of oberth effect.
Finally, when returning to earth, your trajectory should just be between mars and earth's orbits. There's no need to go all the way to Venus orbit unless you're using it for a gravity assist.

Haha. Yeah, I had to choose between aerobraking with engines or re-entering the atmosphere with a heat shield and then the payload. I clearly did not give much thought to it though.
