Years after Kerbal's first manned mission to another planet (Project Altair) was shut down, a new challenge was born. A challenge to travel far beyond the Mun, farther than Minmus, even farther than Dres. A round trip to Jool's moon Pol. As with last mission, Cryogenic freezing will keep the pilots alive for their historic and amazing journey. We can only hope they don't get a cold.
