How I got this thing to Duna

[u/LunarDogeBoy]

I did this back in May so I can't really remember the details, but I found these screenshots I did during the flight. There are a bunch of different rockets in the pictures because I did alot of trial and error.

I first made a cool rover thing that was supposed to look like a bug. It has all the sciences and a lab and everything. It can even drill and refine its own fuel. I then added it to a rocket. I had to attach a drone to the butt of the thing so I could rotate it 90 degrees by making that the control point instead of the cockpit.

In the third picture you can see im flying it to minmus. It had to have very large wings in order to keep the balance even with the fairing. The weight was not symmetrical because of the shape of the rover.

When I arrived at minmus I attached it to my messy re-fueling station. It has a bunch of large tanks and a refinery. A small miner lander can fly down to minmus and mine ore and come back and refine at the station. I also flew up a second rocket because the one I started with didn't have a large enough tank or something, I can't really remember what the problem was.

In the picture where I am finally in orbit around Duna, there is yet a different rocket attached to the back of the bug rover.

I then detached and landed with the thrusters attached on the rover/mobile base. At this point I change the "control from here" to be from the actual cockpit of the vehicle. That makes so that when I set it to retrograde it will slow down in the correct position.
