Colonizing Kerbin: Episode 16 - Crew Transfers, Fuel Tankers, and Mining... Oh My! - Part 1
With "skeleton crews" manning the new colonies of the Mun and Minmus the Kerbins make use of their new space transportation network to increase the populations of their colonies. The lessons learned on these vanguard colonies, and the fuel they mine on Minmus, will be pivotal in the success of the upcoming missions to Duna and Laythe. ====Colonizing Kerbin Series Goals==== Goal 1: Unlock the Tech Tree – COMPLETE!
