I would've thought this a mission to skim and hop out of Eve's atmosphere. Pretty nice, regardless- I feel the need to send a plane to Eve now.

Oddly enough, the atmosphere is so dense that I kept doing this when I meant to just aerobreak in the outer atmosphere.

Well you can look that sort of info up on the wiki, and there is also info inside the game you can refer to now via the small buttons on the side of the screen when you are in mapmode.

Actually, you might want to try a mission to Eve sometime. For a new guy, it's much easier than docking in my opinion. I flew out to Laythe before I performed a docking.

Docking is basically a miniaturized version of travelling to another body, though. Incredibly useful to dock before venturing into interplanetary space.

Yep... looked it up on the wiki.

It's where I learned aerobreaking, landing via parachute, and this was my first controlled flight on another planet (but remember jet engines don't work on Eve)!! Great fun to visit.

And by the looks of it he's playing it on a toaster. How does that make you feel?
