Tonight I tried out my first Minmus mission. Used my Apocalypse rocket; it figure if it gets to the Mun, it oughta get out to Minmus easy enough. And I was right.
What everybody says about Minmus was true; it's a much easier target to land on if you can get your trajectory right and get there in the first place. May not be apparent from the picture, but my capsule was on the side of a crater with at least a ten degree incline, and I still had no problems with the final landing.
Unfortunately, I had another chute/capsule linkage failure on return to Kerbin; Jeb the VI died in a fiery ball that was visible from space. Still trying to figure out what happened there...
