Robotic [[Campaign: Probes and Rovers|probes and a rover]] were on the Mun. Most of them Kerbiet. The public wondered if the first flag planted on the Mun would be Kerbiet. The final lap of the Mun Race was on! With the first launch of Kerbollo Program, Gene Kerbin and rest of the Kerbicans at the Kerbal Space Center were making a statement to the world. They figured the Kerbiets were taking too much time playing it safe with the Mun with their robotic missions. They wanted instead to meet the President's demands to get a Kerbal to the Mun before the end of the decade, and the decade was already half over! Thus began the most incredible engineering endeavor the world had ever seen.

Kerbollo 1 ended in a terrible disaster. During a routine test, a fire broke out at the launchpad killing all three Kerbonoughts, Keen, Krissom, and Kite Kerman. Several redesigns of the Command Pod were necessary to ensure such an accident doesn't occur again. Being safe, Gene Kerbin insisted that the next few flights be unmanned tests of the new spacecraft being developed before committing any more Kerbonaughts to spaceflight. Also, KSC engineers were eager to get their new heavy launcher tested as well, and didn't want Jebediah messing up their test results with a joyride.

Introduction

Robotic probes and a rover were on the Mun. Most of them Kerbiet. The public wondered if the first flag planted on the Mun would be Kerbiet. The final lap of the Mun Race was on! With the first launch of Kerbollo Program, Gene Kerbin and rest of the Kerbicans at the Kerbal Space Center were making a statement to the world. They figured the Kerbiets were taking too much time playing it safe with the Mun with their robotic missions. They wanted instead to meet the President's demands to get a Kerbal to the Mun before the end of the decade, and the decade was already half over! Thus began the most incredible engineering endeavor the world had ever seen, the Kerbollo Program.


This will present a mission manifest to allow you to plant a flag on the Mun before the week is out.
