Mission inspired by NASA and ESA mars sample return mission in Kerbal Space Program. I am showing how to make Duna rover, how to build Duna Ascent Vehicle (DAV) and fly it from Kerbin to Duna, perform Science, then launch the rocket back to Kerbin….

this is just so intriguing, keep it up!
Nice mission, that Kerbin return was HOT nice job!
I love this, i wish I could build something that looks this cool
Your old lunar flyby tutorial is the reason I got to the Mun in KSP all those years ago! You single handedly unlocked the entire game for me. Thanks, and good luck with your youtube channel in the future.
The differential steering of these wheels is better if you use more of them, like tracks on a tank, I think it is supposed to be used that way.
Configuring chutes in flight is not advised since you will configure only one chute at a time and not symetrically.
You could deploy foward chutes first and then stern chutes with a slight delay once the vehicle is not nose diving anymore.
That type of reentry works better if the shield is on the belly of the vehicle and not on the nose. It requires to build a custom shield system though but I've tested such system on my Eve mining rover and it works like a charm, the craft didn't burn at all and didn't flip in Eve's deadly atmosphere and the behaviour was absolutely the same whether I just slightly deorbited or decelerated more, the only thing that changes is the time it will last and the place you are gonna land, in short belly breaking Space shuttle style works very well on Eve but it requires a well balanced craft from the get go with ore tanks weights to ensure the balance
Given the space inside your cargo bay, you could have put the probe core/batteries/Reaction wheels INSIDE the craft to not lose them on a hard landing.
