While the majority of the Kriminel Ink Space Center was busy determining what all has gone wrong on the 19th, one Kerbalnaut refused to accept the death of Jebediah. Bill Kerman, who want even certified to fly the carousel, coerced the ground crew to prep another launch and, before any one could find the interest in stopping his vainglorious crusade, launched to the Mun in the same model ship attached to the earlier tragedy. Upon realizing that he really had done this, and noting we had no way to arrest him for Grand Theft Rocket, all efforts by the local astrologer turned to following his progress. After reaching Libra velocity, he correctly angled his ship for a fast but respectable approach to the Mun. If anything, his transfer may have been a little aggressive after reaching the Taurus point, he had to burn to long to drop his velocity for capture. His jettisoning of his last external fuel tank while stl going well above 600m/s dull provided enough fuel to affect a landing, but that is where our visual tracking ended.
As he passed behind the Mun we realized that his lack off radio contact had nothing to do with stealth but the lack of an antenna. The engineer responsible for that oversight has been promoted due to his intense value as a scapegoat for senior management. We surmised that his landing was a success as land based telescopes were able to spot a flag he planted on the Munner surface. As far as his Lander goes there was no sign. Currently is believed he inevitably tried launching back to space and either ran out of fuel before reaching escape velocity, became disoriented and is traveling further from home and the law, or was sucked through a wormhole and will return someday a changed, even fey, Kerbal.
Peter's stuff.
