re: Kerbal Space Program: Post your pictures and mission stories

Awesome.

Well, I finally did what needed to be done, and switched out for a nuclear engine.

Made a huuuge difference.

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.
