Ike and Minmus Under 10T (KSP Challenge)

For just under 10T takeoff mass, Jeb was able to land on Ike and Minmus and return safely-ish to Kerbin. Thanks to the awesome power of ion engines in vacuum, this plucky little steel horse carried Jeb on his quest. Despite a parachute malfunction (or more likely pilot error), he even "landed" back on Kerbin without dying.

Jeb survives through sheer will power alone

I legit have no idea how it happened. By all rights, I should be recording another attempt.

[@catdealer1144]

pretty sure you just can't deploy the parachute while having the rcs on

[@aubranium]

I think you’re right. Needs further study.
