I know where I'm landing 1st when Horizons launches

[Ziljan]

Ok it wasn't the first place I landed, I found the Jovian moons too irresistible, but I am glad I waited until Beta 3, because now my SRV framerate is now good enough to snap this picture of a knife-edge canyon on Mitterand Hollow.

THANK YOU FRONTIER! <wipestearfromeye>

Yeah I have to chip in here.. This is one special place.. I got into orbital cruise around the moon and suddenly the big blue planet came into view.. I thought it was going to hit me. Of all my gaming experiences going there has to be one of the most epic moments..

Yeah I am glad that Obsidian made the video popularizing this little gem. When I got there, there were 2 other CMDRs racing the moon trying to get into orbital cruise. Quite a challenge just to get there. But I finally realized that I could just wait on the orbit line for the moon to come and scoop me up.

Looks like you found your jagged surface features

Awesome shot there.

I demand detailed report! Haven't updated yet.

First place im going to land is Europa.

Presuming it is allowed. Europa is an Icy moon but IRL it technically does have a *tenuous* atmosphere so we will see how FD approach it

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS—EXCEPT EUROPA
ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE

i decided to visit this moon, and my first reaction to its speed is, JEEZIS CRHRIST ON A INTERGALACTIC UNICYCLE.

...and my second reaction after that one was "how the heck am I supposed to land on it". After chasing it for a couple of orbits and barely gaining a few hundred meters.

The next best moment will come if you manage to go into orbit and see the planet racing through the sky. I won't even try to imagine how that would look like in a VR setup - I almost got motion sickness just from watching it on a regular monitor.

Don't catch it. Let it catch you. Fly in the opposite direction of its orbit and intercept it.

Yes, thanks. Figured that one out eventually.

It just goes against the grain. "In Russia, planet land on you."
