Yay! He's back. Fascinating missions and a neat sense of humor. :) Hmm... where to suggest for a low-mass mission? Anywhere would be good; the added challenge of minimizing the mass for the destination is a bit of a leveller. Eve popped into my mind and I've got to agree with the person who said, "Jool, while it still has a surface," but those would take a bit of working up to with the new atmospheric heating. For a more immediately practical destination, how about Tylo? Obviously, I've been following for long enough to think practicality is relative. ;)

Hey wistance, there are some more aerodynamic tricks. If you place a nose cone or so on top of a fairing but don’t build the shell, the drag of the attached part is reduced by about half. this also works with cargobays if you attach a cone on top.

I didn't think aerodynamics / air resitance were a thing in KSP 2 yet. I tried to aerobrake from a high eliptical Kerbin orbit and absolutely nothing happened ( no noticable AP change when dropping to 45km in the atmosphere). Not until I had decoupled the capsule. The capsule was affected by air resistance but then dug in too fast and exploded.

Once your corpse hit the lava your corpse would begin to skitter around on the lava like water on a hot frying pan because that is almost exactly what is going on.
