I'm sick, and bored, so I decided to fly to Io in my Arrow with a DGIV-2. managed to get there without incident.
I decided that it would be too dangerous to fly the arrow into the atmosphere, so I brought down crew and supplies to the surface using the DG. I started to run out of fuel after a few trips and determined that the DG could only do one more trip, so I docked it to the arrow, and did a quick retro burn to get it to the point where it would crash over the base.
At that point, I released the rest of the cargo and prayed that it would land somewhere near the base. i then put the arrow back into orbit and preped the DG for it's last trip to the surface, bringing the last of the crew down.
I was lucky at that point, because the cargo HAD landed near the base... about five meters from it. I dubbed the base "Asimov Base" and went back to earth... and promptly crashed into Europa on the way back
