Triti manages to catch up to and dock with the new module drifting in space before the two of them suffocate. So now a mad rush is an even madder rush. It seems someone on the engineering team is still having a bit too much fun with that 2mm drill bit. Yes, somehow Bob with two Kerbals on board has been launched into a harrowing rescue mission with absolutely no nitrogen on board, and begins hemorrhaging atmosphere as soon as it leaves our own.Īnd somehow, no one involved, including the crew, actually noticed this for several hours.Īm I the only one paying attention around here? No one asked about the mai tais.Īnd right away, we have another problem, that some how also didn't show up despite extensive testing.īob was pulled early from its Doug-standard retrofit for this mission, so while it is packing an upgraded Gandalf-D engine, and an upgraded booster to boo(s)t, the assembly team never got around to installing some minor details, like, oh, say, Doug's upgraded power generation. So at the next pass of the Space Center under the station's orbital plane, it's Bob to the rescue!Īlong with Triti and Jencine. Seriously, you guys are rocket scientists, can you not figure out a simple tape measure?! Even with an extra battery on the ring, we can't even hook up temporarily to keep the two craft in place. The module is unable to dock successfully. well no one is actually in it, but anyways. The rest of the approach goes off without a hitch, but we're still in the same boat- er, station. Fortunately, the one thing the module does not lack after the flurry of activity, is battery power.Īll that mess should be enough to last about six days. This raises the further complication that, without the tug, there's no way to generate power. and left to make the final approach on its own, rather anemic, engines.
The new module is decoupled short of its goal.
So, of course, the tug runs out of fuel before it can rendezvous with our nascent station.
