Eve Xpress arrives in orbit of Eve

Year 23, Day 272

The new Eve Xpress orbiter has arrived in orbit of the purple planet Eve, and plans to do amazing things.

---

Eve Xpress is a new orbiter that arrived at Eve, the purple planet. We already learned from the Evera missions that Eve is a hellish place; so why did we go back?

The only reason that KSA sent Eve Xpress to Eve is for pure research; perhaps Eve could house Kerbals one day, even though right now, it may not seem like it. Surface conditions are all we've measured, and they were terrible. Completely unsuitable for Kerbal life. But who's to say conditions elsewhere there are as bad? They could be far better, as KSA states.

Eve Xpress plans to look not to the ground of Eve, but the atmosphere. Particularly high above the clouds, where pressures are stable, temperatures are even, and sure, the air isn't breathable, but at least pressures and temperatures could be far better. So good, in fact, that if what Eve Xpress finds matches research models, it means cloud cities could become possibilites, and the only thing you would need to stroll around out there would be an oxygen mask. That's it.

So, if what Eve Xpress finds is promising, it could pathe the way to Kerbal life elsewhere in the Kerbolar System, even in the so-called "harshest" of places.
