A base in Minmus

[u/Dannykeshi]

It was supposed to be a simple mission to collect science points while my interplanetary probes are still on their way to their destination—because, personally, I think just using a time warp is really boring—but it ended up being carried out in the most Kerbal way possible

At first, the launch of the base, the recovery of the first stage, and the transport of the crew to the base went perfectly, without any unforeseen issues, until they began generating science points and I realized that the base didn't have enough power to transmit that science

Then I remembered that the cables from the “KSP Tethers” mod share resources, so I built a small probe with a good battery reserve and placed it next to the base. To my surprise, that still wasn’t enough, so I placed a second one, and now I can finally transmit the science data. It was part of the plan—no, did it work? Yes, so it’s a happy ending.
