EVA Challenge

[Chel]

I would like to challenge everyone out there to build at least a command module (so you get a Kerbal in it, obviously), get the Kerbal out on EVA, and walk/run all the way around Kerbin. I tried doing this, and I got from the KSC all the way to Kerbin's north pole. Also, as Kerbin is so 'big' (it's really 10 times smaller than Earth I think), rovers are accepted, but they must have a Kerbal piloting them (E.g. using an external command seat or cockpit).

This will take a while....

That's why I am permitting the use of Rovers, as long as they are piloted by a Kerbal. Many players haven't really explored Kerbin apart from the area around the KSC, so this is a good opportunity to also collect science.

Elcano challenge?

Yeah basically like that. Except with this one, you have to also explore the oceans and rivers around Kerbin. So you will also have to use boats. And, you must plant a flag at every biome you travel to, and then post a screenshot of the flags from the map view or something. Use the debug menu's 'show biome area' option If you want to make this easier.

The Elcano challenge requires the use of boats, as you have to go in a (relatively) straight line. It also requires the planting of flags or other markers, and is also designed to encourage exploration of Kerbin, and participants may visit places like rivers. This is too similar to be valid  as a separate challenge really... but maybe ask @rkarmark if he will add a new section to the challenge which includes more exploration of different biomes, though this is what he already intended.
