10 Km race to space!
This challenge is all about acceleration and speed. The goal is to reach a 10 Km height in as little time as possible, of course this means that acceleration is a key factor. Goals: - Reach 10 Km height (requirement) - Reach it in as little time (t) as possible (+ [1/(t*0,5)]*8000 points (=timepoints (y)) --> 10 seconds = 1600 points / 20 seconds = 800 points / etc. Point over time distribution graph: - Bring n numbers of kerbals (+ [(n+1)/4]*y points) ---> @20 seconds: 0 kerba
Interesting challenge, lets give it a bash: First try: Maximum speed. 21 seconds to 10K, 4 kerbalnauts. = 1904 points (the image is for T=27 at 12700m, but it passed 10000 at 21 sec. Better image at t=27 though!. Not for entry into the challenge, but score would have been 1904 ?) Nice, but the KerbalNaut association doesn't like me "setting their people on fire" Ok, so no professional KerbalNauts.. If I got to use amateurs, I need to give a gentler ride. Preferrably with sofa, tv and microwave
