| The Mouse aircraft. |
Although the Kerbals had become proficient with many aspects of space travel and exploration, the elusive art of building, flying, and landing aircraft had long remained legend. A new branch of the Kerbal Space Program was to be established which would focus entirely on aircraft development. The first order of business was to hire brave "pilots" and prototype a variety of aircraft. We would be the first conquer the area of sky in between land and space!
The first aircraft developed (capable of flight) was the Mouse. The Mouse accommodated one brave Kerbal, utilized a very small amount fuel, and was exceptionally light. Sigfried Kerman was chosen to be the first aircraft pilot and instructed to fly the aircraft to the large island east of the Kerbal Spaceport. The complete return trip required approximately one hour and 3/4 of the Mouse's fuel. Sigfried's flight was ultimately successful (save for difficulty reentering the aircraft); thereby cementing his position as the Kerbal Space Program's best (and only) pilot.
