Kerbol Grav Challenge

[Dogemaster]

Kerbalkind has always been ambitious. But now let us take it to the next level. I propose a craft that can take off from the KSC, Orbit once around Kerbol with a maximum altitude of 1000 Kilometers, refuel, and then land by the KSC to be recovered. One of each type of crewmember is required. Also, you are required to land every piece of your ship(except for the booster stages). You can refuel on an asteroid or a planet. It doesn't matter. But here comes the kicker. You have to do it in maximum gravity and show that you are not using any other cheats.

Hi @Dogemaster, welcome to the challenge forum, you might like to take a look here when posting any challenges.

Specifically, is this challenge possible, you can prove this by showing us your attempt

This challenge is very defivitely impossible, as it is way within the superheated atmosphere of Kerbol... which isn't helped by the fact you are coming at some 60 km/s or something.

Plus the orbit changing burn would be over 100,000 km/s of delta V 

So.... Unless you have a kraken drive, nope.
