My Kerbal was grinning the entire time, the crazy crazy fuck. Proper scary stuff _________________ [size=85]

I approached the landing site from over those hills. If I had dropped just a tiny bit faster, I'd have touched down on the slope, probably ending up rolling my lander over. Oh by the way, I can recommend anyone playing on PC to install the Kerbal Engineer Redux mod. In the VAB, it shows you lots of additional info per part and some info per stage. Most importantly the TWR (thrust to weight ratio of the stage, which should be above 1), the delta-v per stage (and totals) and burn time per stage. Incredibly usefu when building rockets. As you can see on the screenshot, it also shows additional in-flight info. Getting apoapsis and periapsis info in the regular view is useful (don't have to switch over to map view) and knowing how much delta-v is left in a stage is really great when planning maneuvers.

Landing went OK-ish, but I landed on an incline. Lander wobbling back and forth. I thought it was SAS causing this so I disabled it. Turned out SAS was actually keeping it straight up. Not sure if 1363m/s delta-v is enough to get back home anyway. Here it is in motion
