Many Stages to Everywhere

[Jebediah Kerman Jr.]

You have likely seen one of the Single Stage to Anywhere missions by now. An SSTO with a drill and resource converter that has basically unlimited range.

 

My challenge: Build a multistage rocket that can land on as many planets and moons as possible. No ISRU allowed.

 

Have fun!

That's too funny.   You're right, everyone is always going for the super-efficient, SSTO, lightest craft challenge. This is "GO BIG". I'm doing it.

One question - are landers allowed, or does the whole craft have to land and take off again?

Another question: do we have to bring a kerbal along, or is a probe core enough? Or maybe separate leagues for kerballed and unkerballed entries?

I should have clarified. Here are the updated rules:

 

1) No ISRU

2) No landers, must be direct ascent only

3) Must have a kerbal onboard

I think it's generally good form when submitting a challenge to consider the ruleset before posting it, and to also do an example run yourself to make sure it isn't pointlessly easy or hard. There are no-ISRU single stage to anywhere designs and there are options for going to Eeloo staging one separatron at a time, what is it we're meant to be doing here?

This sounds a lot like this recent challenge.

That being the case:
