The Jool-5 challenge. A classic KSP challenge. One of the hardest. And with this variation of the challenge, I want to push things further. OBJECTIVE: Land on all 5 of Jool's moons and return to Kerbin with a craft (or several craft) made out of nothing but 0.625m parts (except for crew modules). RULES: You should only use 0.625m parts, but for crewed craft, you may use a command chair/radiator combo, a service bay, or a fairing CM. No part mods AT ALL. No mining AT ALL. Modular craft are ALLOWED. Spaceplanes are ALLOWED. EVA pack should only be used to transfer between craft. Cheating is NOT ALLOWED (duh). If your mission takes advantage of a physics exploit (excluding Kraken drives) such as Stratz's OP heatshield wing then let me know. SUBMIT THESE: Craft info tab. (The design checklist thing.) Screenshots of the craft on Kerbin, in flight, and on all 5 moons, with the Kerbal on EVA having planted a flag (not needed if your craft is uncrewed). (You may also add some more screenshots.) Compilation vid of takeoffs, gravity assists, entries/re-entries and landings. EXTRAS (optional): More insight of the craft Craft download SCORING: formula: (1/mass + 1/cost + 1/partcount + 1/fuel dV used) * 1000 (+5% for full recovery of crew, +5% for reusability) Remember to include the formula in your submission. GOOD LUCK! (@Stratzenblitz75 @EvermoreAlpaca I know you can make something crazy out of this...)
