My Mercury Trip

[TMac3000]

Since journeys to Mercury seem to be coming into style, I thought I would post some info on mine...

Took me about twenty minutes to get TransX down to an accurate enough distance. Three course corrections and three-quarters of my fuel later, I made orbital insertion 1600 km above the surface, and corrected my apoapsis on the other end.

I then did my breaking burn and decended for my first serious controlled landing on the surface of another planet

I have landed on Mars exactly once, but that was neither serious nor controlled

I'm planning to set up a base on Mercury in the near future.

My first and only interplanetary trip was to Mercury so far. I think Mercury is the easiest planet to get to anyway, but only if they all exploit the glitch about flying into the "center" of the Sun.

Good fun, but I would like to learn how to land on that planet the real way.

what is that glitch.. only time I went througt the sun, I ended up at warp 9 going nowhere fast. There must be some other glitch because that didn't help..

good day
