[When applicable] By boosters, to the moon!


Recommended Posts

Like the title suggests. We need to build a rocket that reaches the Mun using ONLY boosters. The sole exception is for a liquid fueled lander, if you are so inclined.

So, the overall mission must be:


  • [li]Launch a rocket into deep space using only solid boosters[/li]
    [li]Reach the Mun (very important)[/li]
    [li]Land[/li]
    [li]Depart[/li]
    [li]Return SAFELY[/li]

Rules:

Only stock parts and either my lander parts or CaptainSlug\'s lander leg.

Currently, reaching 12,000 km (expected Mun distance), deploying a lander and reaching 0 m/s (or very close to it), then returning under power of the lander is what we can achieve.

So let\'s get to it!

It\'s very possible to get that far out with the new release, I wouldn\'t be surprised if lazy and bored kerbonauts boost up into an orbit past the moon, and then curve their orbit into the moon. I\'ll post pictures of me getting that far, stopping, and then returning tomorrow.
