[Discussion] Mission concepts

[MedwedianPresident]

I want to have some new mission concepts. I will accomplish them along with my beloved concept of an eve underwater base.

Please be as crazy as possible. MASA wants a engineer who is similar to Jeb.

Reach minimum orbit around the sun.

Hm...good idea...but what should be a logical reason for it? After all it's for an AAR or a video and not a challenge.

Maybe to collect important facts about the Kerbolar radiation?

Install Krag's Planet Factory and set up an equatorial base on Inaccessible (the speed of rotation on that planet is such that you will get thrown off the surface like a fly on the outside of a wheel without grappling hooks to hold you down...)

Make a giant airship that cruises the skies of Eve using:

Have it navigate using just wings and buoyancy:

Then try and land a rocket on it. ;-)

(Anyone know the height in atmo at which things DON'T get autodeleted on Eve? Kerbin is 22 km, so I'm going to guess 30.8km, based on atmosphere heights. ~42km based on pressure.)

Well, I know what I'm trying tonight...

Install KSP-Interstellar (if you haven't already installed this awesome mod) and set up a Solar Farm in minimum orbit around the sun- the bigger the better! (transmit the electricity wherever you need it with Microwave Beamed Power and a relay) Be warned though- it's going to need a LOT of radiator surface area at that distance from Kerbol!

It would be cool to make a base inside of one of the Moholes - it would be quite shielded from cosmic radiation, as well as a prime target for Kerbal scientists wondering what the geep it is, and why the geep it exists. I don't think that a Mohole base been done yet, and it would be an interesting and rewarding challenge to accomplish.

Adding the word 'Don't' because it wasn't there before.

Oh. Didn't think of that. XD

Maybe, I suppose.
