Well, he must be a different Jeb, a very distant SFS-Jeb! :D
Anyway, back to the story!

After Bill and Bob find Mystery and the dead organism, they find its home, a pool of ice from an asteroid impact. The team contacts Earth for instructions.
Jeb: Houston, we’ve found Mystery’s animal. Instructions?

...

A long time later

Houston: I emphasize! Do not interact with the organisms! Leave immediately! Launch when ready! Then return to Earth. The station, satellite, and landers will continue to research the creatures.

Jeb: Recieved!

Barns: Docked! C’mon crew! Get in the capsule! We’re heading home!

Bill: Woah! The moon!

LNS: Alert! You are 2384 m/s too fast to deploy the chutes!
Bob: We’re screwed! :(

Dr. Jamie Mulderson: Phew! That’s a lot slower!

CNS: Touchdown! Thank you for flying SpaceX! If you signed up for our frequent fly...
Jeb: God, I’m thankful I’m still alive.


...


I guess that ends our Exploration of Mercury! The whole “don’t interact with aliens” thing is just an excuse for me to take a break from all those FREAKING VEEGAs! Even though the title is Mercury Exploration, I will be posting other random stuff here. I guess the staff can change the name if they want...

With all the Team Hawk challenges complete, I am ready for some Venus base-building! First, here is my first mission, Toleration I.
I launch on our small-payload launcher, the Terran I.

Welp, started a base in a flat area…

… and made a rough Progress resupply replica

I searched up pictures of drills, and I am sooo disappointed that they aren’t pointy…

Thatsalottadrills…

got a centrifuge into orbit for my manned Venus mission…

… the key is to not use rcs, as they are constantly autocorrecting, preventing constant rotation.

Added another building to my ground base. Working on a lander design, but also on a Starship feature replica, which is starship but without all of those hard-to-bp-edit details ’cause I’m lazy.

Ok, still working on my Starship…

Does anybody know why those docking ports don’t work? They connect, but when I try to separate them from other ports, they don’t separate…:confused:
