I tried and failed, but got close. Currently stuck in the collision zone...I wonder if you could SRV from one planet to another...

But do you fall to the other moon? That's what I'd try myself hahaIt does. My artificial horizon and altimeter swapped back and forth several times.
Just like it did in this older video https://youtu.be/NGrD6S7iZHw?t=10m9s , when you get closer to the other moon.
I may try it. Waiting for timing with the motion of the moons.But do you fall to the other moon? That's what I'd try myself haha
I'm actually surprised that the collision time ended up being so close to the time I calculated based on the average speed.
Probably a lot of luck involved there

And I'm very pleased it happened when the lights were on.
I wish I could rep that screenshot. [up]Still can't rep you, so have a <3 instead... ...
Lol. I thought he lost his ship again but I just checked the end of his stream. Stuck in a planet and nearly out of fuel. I didn't bring any fuel limpets but I doubt anyone could get to him anyway.Can someone help Cmdr Nutter out? He seems to be stuck inside a planet and is completely mass locked.![]()
I don't know if that's a heart or some other thing that I can't write in here....

What appears to happen is that you swap gravity sources, but you don't swap motion reference frames. So I could fall toward the other moon but would be moving relative to the moon I started on resulting in landing at >100m/s
The trouble I'm having is that when you're on the back side of the collision, so the b moon is moving away from you, it's also rotating downward toward the surface of c.
So if I landed on b, I'd rotate back down to the surface of c.

It happened to me, but I managed to climb out of it and get back into SC. Video Clip. Take note of the location indicator in the bottom left of the hud.I think thats what happened to me, I tried landing on 2C this morning, while I had 2B selected. i tried for a nice gentle landing and ended up accelerating into the surface and back to Colonia for a rebuy. Made it back in time to see the collision, from a very safe distance.[smile]
In my case, that didn't help. I had the C moon selected most of the time*, but my frame of reference stayed more or less fully as moon B.Lesson learned, for future reference, make sure you've selected the planet you're landing on.

This was observed by one of Utopia's explorers.

I wonder what the science is and how FD shoudl treat this kind of interaction.
More pic if interested. He observed the whole colison.
