Well, that was interesting. I've never attempted to get back to the inside before. But, we made it.
Notable Moments:
Flying through the rings on the way out.
Far Flyby off Jupiter (Middle Right Side)
One of the earth aerobraking maneuvers.
One I got into Leo, the fun started. My orbital intercept guidances were broken, so I had to do it by eye. We got there eventually though.
Terra Circa coming within visual range!
Slow docking due to visual docking procedures, but we got there. We've arrived at Terra Circa @The Astronomer Starmaker. We've arrived Sanctor @Danny Batten.
Sanctor Batten's ship undocked, and is approaching our Hab module.
Welcome aboard SCS Radiant Sanctor Batten! It's nice to meet you.
The full view is impressive!

Oh sure! @The Astronomer over there you can see the 2.31km high pile of robots that tried to overthrow us in 66.
And over there you can the famous DB Space Elevator.
Earth is full of wonders, I would recommend for you to fly down to have a meander, or if that not for you why not try our Formula S racing, racing but in 3D!

Listening to the Sanctor, I stare down to the small blue planet below. One of the details that immediately stood out is one of the extensive cities currently right below me, highly visible due to the sheer scale.
"Terra..." I quietly muttered to myself. "Oh, so familiar, yet so strange."
It's so easy for my mind to get lost in thoughts when in such a situation, a defect I inherited from the original Starmaker. Still, I snapped myself back into reality.
"...so there are space elevators here. With it, I can visit the surface in person." I replied to the Sanctor. "Could you tell me more about this planet?"

“Well it was the birthplace of the modern human, or at least we think so”
“Thousands of years of war has raged this planet, but only until recently has it come to peace” * glances to the pile of dead robots*
“We have a strong army here to protect our civilisation, they have been reliable for many wars”

"Strong army, huh." I thought. "I wonder what their space forces are like."
The giant pile of dead robot never ceased to amaze me, if only because there is no reason to leave them lying when one could salvage them for useful materials and possibly pieces of technologies. Yes, it could be a monument of some kind, but 2.31 km tall robot really don't come to my mind as a sensible one. Risk of collapse is always imminent, even.
"...is there any point of interest?" I asked them again, this time smiling more. "I want to go sightseeing."
In another note, I've notified @Gecko Gekkota about my upcoming arrival at Earth one year ago. I think they should be here any time now.

"I see. Then, I'll be going." The rest of the information can be found on the planet, that is what I believe. I might even be able to find useful information for when I get back to Dione and begin my work on the development of that moon in earnest.
"Are you going to stay here for a long time, Lieutenant?" I asked @Lt. Snakestrike . "If possible, I'd like to spend a month away touring the planet and its environs."

Glancing to the night sky in ASA territory, Jez 10 saw the craft in space.
"I really wish @The Astronomer Starmaker -4 will visit our territory just this once..."
Using a small telescope, observed the craft, thinking stuff.

Alright, goodbye Sanctor Batten, it's time for us to depart.
After the departure of Sanctor Batten's ship, the Radiant disembarked from Terra Circa, and made a burn to a transfer orbit to my own station.
From there, the landing spacecraft seperated, and made a deorbit burn at apogee.
Capsule seperation:
And then a simple landing.
Welcome to Earth Astronomer Starmaker!
Have fun adjusting to the gravity.

Btw, @The Astronomer, would you like to return with me, or get back to Saturn on your own? Just need to know for mission planning.
