"T minus ten seconds, nine, eight, main engine igni-". The sound is cut off for me by the ignition of 5 KR-L2 engines under me. After a few seconds, I see the launch clams decouple, and then get cut off from view. After 48 seconds and 11,352 meters altitude, I hear 2 of the engine+fuel stacks in the asparagus staging burn out. These are then separated from the rest of the spacecraft. 12 seconds later, I begin my gravity turn. When I am pointing 17.82 degrees above the horizon, 34,245 meters of altitude, and 263 seconds after launch, I am now down to the central stack. The orbital insertion is barely completed before that runs out, too.
After a few days in orbit, 5 LV-N's ignite, accelerating me faster, until my future orbit around the Sun intersects Jool's at the same time Jool will be there. I then go tell the computer to keep me asleep until a mid-course correction is needed. It seems like no time has passed when I am woken up, but the mission clock tells me it is 326 days after launch. I fire the LV-N's at low throttle in the direction the maneuver node indicated, until the Jool periapsis is around 130 kilometers above the "surface". I then go back to sleep.
The next correction is just inside Jool's SOI, and I can already see tiny blue, white, and grey dots. The grey one is my destination. My periapsis in now down to 119,847 meters. This will be good enough. When I reawaken (again), my periapsis is just hours away. I look at the aerobraking checklist, and by the time I am done I am within nine thousand kilometers of Jool. Laythe's oceans and clouds are beautiful, and the green clouds of Jool look almost calming, even though it has the highest winds recorded in the Kerbol system. Tylo, my destination, looks bleak and barren, which it is. Because of its size, it has accumulated a thin atmosphere. However, that atmosphere is under a ten thousandth of the pressure at sea level on Kerbin at the lowest point. As I am thinking about this, I notice the flames licking the outside of the window. The computer had kept the spacecraft oriented in the right direction. I could now no longer see anything outside the window. Good thing the heat shield is this good. The flames lessened in brightness as the ship left the atmosphere.
I burned prograde at my apoapsis to bring my periapsis outside Jool's atmosphere, and give me a Tylo encounter with a periapsis of around 25 kilometers. I then went back to sleep. When I awoke, I was awed at the size of Tylo. It was almost as large as Kerbin! After being awed for about half an hour, the computer stated that I had to perform a braking burn to enter orbit around Tylo. I turned the ship retrograde, and fired up the LV-N's for the last time. After going into an approximately 20x20 kilometer orbit, I detached the transfer stage and the return section from the lander, and then pointed retrograde and started burning. LV-N's, while efficient, have a very low thrust to weight ratio. Thus, the lander used aerospikes, which are not nearly as efficient. When I slowed down to 1237.3 meters per second, the SAS (Sickness Avoidance System) crashed. Because I was a good pilot, I was able to regain control of the craft, and kept on slowing down. There was a problem, however. I used up too much fuel because of my less efficient maneuvering without the SAS, and ran out of fuel a few hundred meters above the ground. I could not speak out of panic, although a stream of swearwords flooded through my head. The last thing I saw was one of the RCS tanks exploding as it hit the ground.
