Get a Space Station in Orbit in 15 Minutes or Less

[Little Kerbonaut!]

Hello again, today i have another challenge that isn't to hard but isn't to easy.

 

The challenge is to send a space station into Kerbin Orbit in 15 minutes or less bonus points if you can get into a Mun orbit in 15 minutes or less. It doesn't matter the size of the space station or the height of the orbit. My best time I believe was 12 minutes.

 

Points:

14 minutes: 5 points

10 minutes: 10 points

5 minutes: 15 points (I don't know if this is realistic)

14 minutes into a Mun orbit: 10 points

10 minutes into a Mun orbit: 20 points

5 minutes into a Mun orbit: 50 points (I really doubt this is realistic but who knows.)

@Little Kerbonaut! 15 in-game minutes or 15 real life minutes? In the case of an LKO space station, that's fairly easy, considering that getting from the launch pad into low orbit usually takes less than five minutes.

Oh, I forgot in game minutes or different then real life minutes.

I am going to choose in game minutes.

I wanna see that space station in munar orbit in 15 minutes. Is whackjob still around?

Squad once ran a challenge to impact the mun in 20 minutes or less. I think the fastest time was just under 12 minutes. But this was with a tiny payload. Good luck getting a station into munar orbit in the times suggested.

Liftoff (at about 2 fps)

Just before impact. At 23 km/s this probe would have entered the mun's SOI after about 10.5 minutes. Just need to add another 22.5 km/s dV to enter orbit.
