Interstellar Docking Challenge


Recommended Posts

I want to apologize first in case this challenge comes out to be impossible in game. I'm by no means a good KSP player (I have a hard time docking... LOL), however, i know most of you are way better than I, and I hope you take this challenge as I attempt it as well. So with no further delay... here's the

INTERSTELLAR DOCKING CHALLENGE!

For those of you who have seen the new movie INTERSTELLAR, you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who have or have not seen the movie, here's a youtube clip of a recreation of that scene in Garry's Mod:

The challenge is to have a space station (or ship or plane, or whatever suits you), rotating at about 70 rpm around the center of the docking port. A spaceplane then approaches the docking port from below, and when ready to dock, needs to rotate at the same rpm as the station, in order to kill the relative rotation between the two docking ports, to allow for docking. The docked plane then kills the rotation of both ships.

Is this scene re-creatable in KSP?!
