Hmm... This seems cool. I'm trying to think of which my starting planet will be. A few questions: 1. Can we at least use MechJeb? 2. Will this use the actual game, like we make a base on a planet or send ships to attack other bases and stations?

VERY GOOD JOB!!! I'll edit the leader board in the morning, as it's a pain in the neck to use this Kindle Fire to do it.

(I'm using RSS) Apollo 7 with Saturn IB: I used stretchy parts. Is that okay?

I tried the config, and it sorta works for me. I don't see any clouds, but the earth texture and the other textures are there. And i don't see a giant hole, BUT i was using the Algeria launchpad.

Well, the whole thing does not work with out planet factory, in fact, it breaks EVERYTHING. (Though i just started up the game looked at the broken main menu, an then quited) The main menu looked like: (I accidentally pressed F12 and not F2) There were no clouds, It was KERBIN, not the Earth in the sky (It seems as it didn't change any of the textures), and it looked exactly the same as the Stock main menu. (I didn't have texture replacer, so the sky-box was still the same) So you need to make a non-PlanetFactory version.

Okay, i'll try it. (The RSS Visual mod, not planetfactory) And I'll tell you if there are any major bugs.

It probably looks epic, but i have regular Real Solar System, with out the PlanetFactory stuff. So could you make a version for the regular RSS?

So, are you putting it up for download now? I'm just wondering if you are, and it's that I sometimes get impatient.

It has to be a .zip or .rar

Will all the stuff in this mod have a Real Solar System version?

I got an idea for one of the moon's name's... How about: Rainia How is that name?

When will this be released?

So no one actually attempted this challenge...

Sorry. It's just that the first post (Where usually there's updates and downloads and stuff) hadn't been updated since February.

Does this work with 0.23.5?

Yeah, and i do certainly like the clever way you did the landing legs.

Can you give me a link to these RSS textures? And i also noticed how Venus looks so good in your Venus flyby video.

Nice! You're on the leader board, and it's okay that you didn't get any pictures of the launch.

Just WOW. What do i say. Your stuff just blew my mind. Man, your good at KSP! So for now you're number 1. on the leader boards. FANTASTIC! (I'm still trying to do this challenge myself, and I've barley managed to get a 2 crew capsule into LEO,and it's rocket handles like rubbish) EDIT: Also, in your Nuclear Ares Mars video, the Mars seems different then what i do of using texture replacer on Duna. If you're using a special Mars mini-mod for RSS, can you give me a link?

*Facepalm* do you even see the words: Apollo Applications Program Style Mini-Challenges/Achievements The achievements above that are Lunar. The ones below that are ones using Manned Lunar Landing derived technology to go to other places. It's that simple.

Cool! It does not matter if you did not document the whole thing. I like it that the descent stage was flipping around.

I Like it, but i really think that the entries should have FAR, because that's how RSS is supposed to be. But it's okay, you'll be on the leader board.

To The Moon And Back - RSS Manned Lunar Program Challenge It's the height of the space race, the late 1960's and your nation on earth has developed the tools and technology to explore the reaches of space, and now it seems there is only one thing left: Land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth. Your space agency has the funding, the crew, and the cause to land on the moon. Now you just have to design and fly the ship there and back... This challenge uses, well, obviously, the real solar system mod which can be downloaded here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55145-0-23-5-Real-Solar-System-v6-2-6-1-14 What you're supposed to do is design and fly a space race style manned lunar program to land on the moon and land safely back on earth, sorta like Apollo and the Soviet N1-L3 lunar programs. Basically build a space race style lunar program. And it does not have to be the Lunar Orbit Rendezvous, it can Earth Orbit Rendezvous, Direct Ascent, etc. (I think that is a good explanation, tell me if you're having trouble understanding it) Rules: You must use Real Solar System, because that's the whole point of this challenge; to land on the Moon, not the Mun. No hyperedit or other super cheat mods. You must post pictures in your entries into this, or put a video. It's just that saying it isn't as trust worthy, and it'd be cool if you could put some craft files for the crafts you used in your entry. You're allowed to use any mods you want, as long as there not super cheat mod like I said before. Achievements/Mini-Challenges (I don't really know how to make a good point system, so these are things I'll put in your leader board entry, though you really don't have to achieve them) Practice makes perfect: Fly some test missions before the actual Lunar landing. (Like Apollo 7,8,9 and 10) To the moon and back: After you land on the on the moon in one of your missions, due to some way or another (Preferably accidentally) not be able to return to earth. All on board: (If you're using a separate Lunar lander in your design), have it have all the crew on board during the landing, so everyone gets to walk on the moon! Here to stay level 1: Leave behind some science experiments on the Lunar surface. (No you don't need career mode, i mean like the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP). If you don't know what that is, then Google it.) Here to stay level 2: Leave behind some stuff that can be used for a Lunar base in the future. (You can return to it in an Apollo Applications Program like thing... which you're encouraged to do) It's complicated...: If your Lunar mission is using more then one launch (Like Earth orbit rendezvous), have it have 5 or more launches. BEEP BEEP!: Bring a Lunar rover to the Lunar surface, and drive 2 or more kilometers. Just in case...: Have a small little craft that can be detached from the side of the Lunar landing craft (If you have one, i really don't see a point in this if it's direct ascent), and go to the orbiting craft if the Lunar lander can't take off, like the Lunar EScape Systems (LESS). Just a little visit: Land next to an unmanned Lunar landing probe in your Lunar landing. Grasshopper: After you land on the Moon, "hop" around the Moon, lifting off and landing on a different location, if you're still confused what this is look at Hattivat's entry. Apollo Applications Program Style Mini-Challenges/Achievements: These missions are missions to not just land on the Moon, but go much further. You're supposed to use hardware based around the stuff you used to land a man on the Moon, so don't just make an entirely new thing from scratch. A science lab in SPAAAAACE!!!: Have an orbital space station, like Skylab or Salyut. (Can have a few multiple small modules attached, but it's not supposed to be like Mir or the ISS) Here to stay level 3: Make a Lunar base, which can have crew regularly changed/swapped. (Optional Lunar Space Station) Earths evil twin: Send a manned flyby mission to Venus. Pale Red Dot: Send a manned landing mission to Mars, which can be preceded by manned flybys and orbital missions. Preventing the apocalypse: redirect and Earth bound asteroid. The giant of the solar system: Send a manned mission to 1 or more of Jupiter's moons. Man it's hot in here!: Send a manned mission to Mercury. The lord of the rings: Send a manned mission to any of Saturn's moons, or you can send crew to all it's moons! Leader-board: I will rank it by how many achievements/mini-challenges an entry has gotten, and you can update your entry if you want. (Though I really should try to make a point system, and i really think the point of this is to share our awesome manned Lunar programs in RSS) LEADER-BOARD: 1. Von Ziegendorf: Just a little visit, Earths evil twin, Pale Red Dot, The giant of the solar system (Callisto), All on board, BEEP BEEP, Here to stay Level 1, Here to stay Level 3, Just in case..., The lord of the rings, Man it's hot in here! 2. Genius Evil: Grasshopper, A science lab in SPAAAAACE!!! 3. Hattivat: BEEP BEEP! 4. Vigelius: A science lab in SPAAAAACE!!!, Here to stay level 3 (With space station) 5. Redrobin 6. Sirine 7. Overfloater: Didn't use FAR and got no achievements/mini-challenges, but still good. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Tell me if you think there is anything wrong or something I could improve about this challenge!

Is this thing dead or something?

Also, is there a Buran? I don't see a download link for it If there isn't, you should fix the Buran Bobcat originally made, because that would be AWESOME. (I used the Buran a lot)
