Just took my first Kerbal to Eve
Nuclear engine stage after leaving Kerbin's sphere of influence.
Burning for circular Eve orbit
Finally got into a decent circular orbit
Fernand Kerman on an EVA. Excited to be there. He has no idea what his fate is.
Entering Eve's atmosphere. Was aiming for a coastal landing.
Decoupled the nuclear engine stage (Still had a ton of fuel left) and deployed the lander stage.
Thought that the lander stage would stay intact but the rocket and fuel take dislodged from the Command Pod and science bay when the parachutes opened. Fernand Kerman survived and landed safely to plant this flag. He's done a lot of science, but has no way of getting home.
He'll be rescued at some point but I don't have a ship capable of getting the job done just yet.

Awesome.
Well, I finally did what needed to be done, and switched out for a nuclear engine.
Made a huuuge difference.
Duna with its moon Ike
However, slowing into orbit ate up all my fuel. So, instead I started aborting that and trying to get Jeb home instead. That's when I noticed....
I DIDN'T CONNECT THE DAMN OUTSIDE FUEL TANKS TO THE INNER FUEL TANK WITH HOSES...I SWEAR TO GOD THESE KERBOLS ARE WORTHLESS!
Would have totally landed and gone home if I had done that. I'm beside myself and will not attempt again until this weekend. Jeb, after spending 30 years of his life in space, and suffering from one of the most disturbing examples of gross incompetence ever; decided to blow himself up somewhere just beyond the gravitational pull of Kerbol. He will be missed.

You're playing on a macbook, right? Is your shite laggy?
