Hello everyone, Check out the amazing and creative entries of the last challenge! This week we have another theme for you: “Target Practice! " The holidays are over, and it's time to get back to work. Jebediah was gifted a wonderful little cabin during the holidays, he liked it so much he made two copies and put one on Minmus and one on The Mun. But, Jebediah is a restless kerbal and an adrenaline junkie , and gets tired of too much leisure (ie: more than 5 minutes without any danger), so he decided that in order to get everyone's attention, he would build a rocket and launch it to try to hit as close to his cabin as possible. Challenge Goal In an unmanned vessel (ok, if you really want to kill somebody, you can), launch a rocket to either the Mun or Minmus, targeted at the cabin which is on each at Longitude 0, Latitude 0. The goal is to impact the surface as close to the cabin as you can Rules The vessel can have two boost phases, the first to get to orbit, the second to inject it into an intersection course with the target. Once the boost phases are done, decouple anything you want, this will be the last time decoupling is allowed Extra points if you do it all in a single launch. Even more points if it is a single stage Download the save file from this URL or, use HyperEdit to move a target to coordinates 0,0 on your desired target planet. If you do, the target cannot be bigger than 6m in any direction (6 of the M-1x1 panels). As a reference, Jeb's cabin is 5x6m All mods are allowed, except HyperEdit and VesselMover Make sure that the target you are aiming for is selected as the target before impact You are allowed to use SAS to point to the target, to make it easier to show on screen for the pics. Just no thrusting of ANY kind (including stage separators) is allowed. Post pics of the launch, interplanetary injection and either the moment of impact or just before impact. Make sure that the target is shown, that way you will see the distance. Note that the distance to the target will be shown even after the impact, if the target is close enough Scoring 1 point if you launch a rocket 1 point if it leaves Kerbin orbit 5 points if you enter the SOI of the target planet, not counted if you impact the planet One of the following (whichever is higher): - 10 points if you impact ANYWHERE on the target planet. - 15 points if you impact within 100Km of the target - 100-distance (in Km) from the target - 125 points if within 1 Km of the target - 150 points if you actually hit the target Achievements 1 point - I tried 2 points - Lost 7 points - Lost In Space 12 points - Broad side of the Barn 17 points - Outer Limits 18-125 points - Marksman 127 points - Expert Marksman 152 points - Bullseye We will have special badges for the first challenge of the year!

Hello everyone, Check out the amazing and creative entries of the last challenge! This week we have another theme for you: “A Very Kerbal Kerismus Challenge! " HO HO HO and Merry Kerismus to one and all! Yes; it’s that time of year again when all the good little Kerbals come together to celebrate not getting all blow-ded up! Scoring According to Kerismus tradition, points for this challenge will be assigned randomly based on a secret formula involving rolled dice, imaginary numbers, negative 1/12th, and outright bribery! In addition to this totally fair and unbiased point system, there are 4 achievement badges that can be earned! You have 3 weeks for this challenge. Requirements for achieving each badge of honor are as follows: 1. Better to Give Than to EXPLODE! Jeb, Bob, Bill, and Val have all been very good little kerbals this year and deserve something extra special! Design a Kerismus Gift for one of these four kerbals that meets all of the following criteria: Given each of their unique skill sets and personalities, create a special gift that you know they will just love! You can only make one gift for one of the Kerbals The gift has to be transferable from one craft to another The gift must use all stock parts To earn the achievement badge: Post a picture of your gift (remember you can only submit one) Tell us which Kerbal your gift is for and why they will love it! Optional: Remember, “T’is better to give, than…” So, provide a link and share your gift with others participating in the challenge 2. O’ Minmus Tree, O’ Minmus Tree How min-ty are your bran-ches! Ahhh yes… The lighting of the Minmus Tree!! Nothing rings in the holidays quite like the sights and sounds of a giant tree-shaped rocket blasting into space! Kickoff the holiday season by designing a Minmus Tree that meets all of the following criteria: It should look like… um… a tree? It should have a place on top for an “ornament” to be attached Do not attach the ornament! Some lights might be good? Any part mods are allowed and encouraged! To earn the achievement badge, post 4 pictures: The night launch of your Minmus Tree from the KSC While in orbit (somewhere) deliver and attach the ornament Land your Tree on Minmus Hold a Minmus Tree lighting ceremony 3. Wee Three Kings Dis-oriented are… Bearing gifts, we traverse afar… Indeed at least three wise kings and queens have posted some strange and wondrous gifts! We can’t let 3 of our most favorite-est kerbals go without gifts now can we? You made one gift for one kerbal now go shop for the rest of em! Find a gift that someone else made for your kerbals that do not have gifts The gift has to be one that was designed specifically for your kerbal and noted somewhere on this challenge thread Starting at the KSC transport the gifts aboard a magnificent sleigh (or rocket) and place them under or near your Minmus Tree Any part mods are allowed and encouraged! Document your adventures as you see fit but include at least one pic of all the wonderful gifts under your Minmus Tree 4. A Kerismus Miracle! T’was the night before Kerismus, and just before launch… Not a creature was stirring, and so… nothing had exploded yet! Kerismus Eve is a special time. It’s also a pretty special place. Let’s not forget about our poor little stranded friend: Kringle Kerman Earn the “Kerismus Eve” achievement by: Spreading a little holiday joy with a trip to Eve Bring along a gift that you acquired or created and deliver it safely (undamaged) to the surface to put a smile on Kringle’s face …and the achievement would qualify as a true “Kerismus Miracle!” if: Your gift and/or associated stock lander that you made was able to get poor little Kringle back into orbit! Special thanks to @XLjedi for sharing this awesome idea! We will be sharing the badges as we have them ready Share your screenshots, videos or images. We want you to have fun and share it with the whole community!
