While the Kerbals were getting ready to assemble a base on the Mun in preparation of a manned flight to Duna, the corporatist seats in the senate won a major election, and covertly assassinated the president to install a caligulous regime where they thrived and the common person was seen as a rube, a drone, an ice cube in their drink of money. The CEOs met in the secret office of doom! and decided to cut 50% of the KSP's budget, believing that space was boring and too expensive, cutting into their fat paychecks that would buy them really nice cars, mansions, and beach houses in Kalibu. Well, Werhner von Kerman had a fit after that. While he was in prison after being falsely labelled a Neo-Kazi, the people back at the space center who were not on a corporate bankroll (the orange suits) devised a plan to convince the Government to give them their money back. And what better way than to launch rovers everywhere and talk about it on social media!

Missions
Minimus
MIN-001
Due to the sorbet color of Minimus's plains and highlands, Kerbals have theorized that the color must be a really nice hue for the spectacular hills that arise at select regions. More and more people are asking you to take pictures of the surface so they can see for themselves. The rover must have:
- Unmanned.
- A comm device.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Landing site in a flats biome ( preferably near a highlands biome).
- All scientific experiments. We want to get the most out of each probe.
- Once you have landing, take a picture of yourself in the biome.
- Enter the highlands biomes near the flats.
MIN-002
The first pictures of Minimus were a overwhelming success. The photos have gone viral and Kerbals have showed a renewed interest in space. Due to an accident between the social experts and the flight planners, they didnt actually get pictures of mountains, like the Kerbals wanted. So they have to retake photos for the sake of funds. The rover must have:
- Unmanned.
- A comm device.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Landing site in North pole area near broken terrain.
- All scientific experiments. We want to get the most out of each probe.
- Once you have landing, take a picture of yourself in the biome.
- Explore, photograph, and do experiments near the broken terrain anomaly.
Eve
EV3-001
Klutonium has been found around Eve. Scientist's have predicted that they were from Eve's atmosphere, and the atmosphere's Klutonium was from the ground. But don't worry, Eve is not a huge nuclear bomb because Kadium has also been found in enough amounts to stop a reaction. The Kerbal Mining Korps want you to analyze a sample from the Eveian water. Here's what you need:
- Unmanned.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- All science experiments.
- Parachutes.
- Comm device.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Land near the shore.
- While hurtling through the atmosphere, do an atmosphere analysis.
- When you land, take a picture of yourself.
- Rove towards the water.
- Do science in the water and photograph yourself in it.
EV3-002
Klutonium has been found in large amounts in the water and atmosphere, but they are Klutonium-235, which is unusable. The atmosphere analysis showed that Klutonium-238, which is usable, is also present. The Kerbal Mining Korps want you to analyze the soil, which is probably the source of all that Klutonium-238 in the atmosphere.
- Unmanned.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- All science experiments.
- Parachutes.
- Comm device.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Land near a crater.
- While hurtling through the atmosphere, do an atmosphere analysis.
- When you land, take a picture of yourself.
- Rove around the crater.
- Do science in the center of the crater and photograph yourself in it.
Dres
DR-001
Next is Dres, a lonely space potato. Rumors have circulated that it is an actual space potato, and most of the Kerbals have gobbled up that lie. Send a rover there to debunk that ridiculous claim, for the sake of science. Here's what you need.
- Unmanned.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- All science experiments.
- Comm device.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Land in a crater.
- When you land, take a picture of yourself.
- Rove around the crater.
- Go to a suitable spot, and "Analyze" the soil for potato like organic compounds. Just touch the ground with something.(Communtron 16's work the best.)
DR-002
An analysis of the rovers data has found actual potato-like organic compounds in the soil. To make sure this is not an anomaly, or a pratical joke made by Jeb smearing potatos all over the rover, we want you to check the soil in the maria. Here's what you need:
- Unmanned.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- All science experiments.
- Comm device.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Land in a Maria.
- When you land, take a picture of yourself.
- Rove around Maria
- Go to a suitable spot, and "Analyze" the soil for potato like organic compounds. Just touch the ground with something.(Communtron 16's work the best.)
Laythe
LY-001
Next is Laythe, an almost habitable planet. To settle the question of life existing there, various academic organizations have funded you to send a rover to Laythe. Also, we all want to know right? Here's what you need:
- Unmanned.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- All science experiments.
- Comm device.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Land on an island.
- When you land, take a picture of yourself.
- Rove around the island.
- Go to a suitable spot, and "Analyze" the soil for organic compounds. Just touch the ground with something.(Communtron 16's work the best.)
- Include a self destruct sequence (using action groups) if intelligent life is met. You have to at least destroy the rover core, at most destroy the entire rover.
LY-002
The results are in, and the soil is filled with benign, living colonies of hundreds of millions of differnent bacteria. Everyone is in a frenzy, and Academia wants you to test the water for organic compounds, to see how far life has reached. Here's what you need:
- Unmanned.
- Enough electricity to last through the night.
- All science experiments.
- Comm device.
- At least 4 solar panels.
- Land near the water on an island.
- When you land, take a picture of yourself.
- Rove around the island.
- Go in the water, and "Analyze" the water for organic compounds. Just go in the water.
- Include a self destruct sequence (using action groups) if intelligent life is met. You have to at least destroy the rover core, at most destroy the entire rover.
Finishing word
In spite of a successful civil war that was fought while you were launching rovers, the new president, Donald Krump, still won't fund the KSC, preferring to zero in on admittedly-more important issues, such as the housing market, corporate lobbyists, and terrorism overseas, so it is up to the people to intiate the next stage of Kerbal evolution: Civilian Spaceflight!
