I'd probably have to agree with you. I'm actually having a go at this right now (on Super Hard) and I'd be hard pressed to say what separates what I'm using to fly around in from any other spacecraft, other than it accomodating more Kerbals than I'm used to carrying for a challenge. Although I did put a few sensors and and antenna on it to make it more "stationy"

I have an entry to submit to the challenge that I think (I really hope!) meets the challenge rules. The flight of the OW1 (One With 1). So this was a trip from Kerbin to the Mun surface, then Duna surface, Minmus surface and finally back to a splashdown on Kerbin. The vehicle had a total of 54 parts, which would have been quite a bit higher if I'd read the challenge rules properly (I didn't see that you scored for the number of parts per milestone). If I had read them properly I would have loaded up with sensors, lights etc. (any super light weight stuff) to boost my points score. There were a few hiccups along the way. - Forgot to remove oxidiser from some of the small tanks, so was dragging that dead mass around until I left them behind on the Duna surface - Forgot to test if my chutes for the Duna landing were balanced (they weren't) so had to cut one of them immediately after deployment, so a little more dead mass - For good measure I didn't actually need the heat shield on the capsule as the batteries and ion drive protected it in re-entry, so could have lost that as well Points Tally For this I removed two of the parts from the calculation for the Minmus and Kerbin landings as they (a couple of unprotected solar panels) were ripped off when aero-braking on my return to the Kerbin system. Please check my calculation in case I've misunderstood anything. It's a bit higher than the other entries, so I'm suspecting I slipped up somewhere. Does not explode on launchpad: 10 pts.+54 parts Lifts off successfully: 15 pts. +54 parts Suborbital trajectory: 30 pts. +54 parts Orbit: 50 pts. +44 parts Return one Kerbal to Kerbin safely: 50 pts. +12 parts Return all command pods (including the command chair, not including any probe core.)(They don't have to be crewed) to Kerbin safely: 70 pts +12 parts Mun fly-by: 100 pts. +44 parts Mun orbit: 125 pts. +38 parts Mun landing: 175 pts. +38 parts Minmus landing: 150 pts. +12 parts Solar orbit: 100 pts. +38 parts Duna fly-by: 150 pts. +38 parts Duna orbit: 175 pts. +38 parts Duna landing: 225 pts. +38 parts Return from Duna system to safe Kerbin landing: 75 pts. +12 parts For a total points tally of 2026

The is the mission report of Jeb's trip to Mun, Duna, Minmus and finally a return to Kerbin for the One with Everything challenge. A total of 54 parts (all unique of course, per the challenge rules) took Jeb on a trip to these bodies. Now the pics. Album OPYyQ will appear when post is submitted

I might be an idea if the specification of a "station" was tighter. For example do the seated kerbals have to be inside the station, as seated could be interpreted as including command seats. In some ways this is similar to the One With Everything challenge that I've just completed (uploading pics of it to Imgur right now) but with orbital stations instead of landings.

I like it, although I'm half expecting the letters of ALIEN to appear one at a time (not a bad thing). It's similar to what I made as a title image for my bit of fan fiction. I need to stop thinking about more things to do as KSP fan-art, as it just occurred to me that I could make KSP versions of a whole bunch of movie posters (not just space ones either)... that madness will not end soon if I do give it a go

It's the challenge in which you can only use one of any part. I'm hoping that this jalopy will take Jeb from Mun to Duna then Ike and back to Kerbin again (riding on a single ion engine for Ike landing and the return).

Just noticed this challenge and think I'm going to take a crack at it. It's certainly a bit different to usual lightest/fastest/most kerbals type of challenges.

There's also the challenge Ions, Ions Everywhere which you must have missed (currently it's on page 3 of the challenges thread so easily done) that includes a manned (which would be harder) trip to Eeloo as one of its challenges and requires a return to Kerbin.

I'd have to agree with Kuzzter, especially as there is the longstanding sticky thread KSP Fan-Art MkII. Good to see another face on here that is interested in KSP fan art though.

At some point I plan to write a behind the scenes "the making of" 2001:ASA as I already have a few fun pics I grabbed in the sets I built, although I'm also starting to think about a 2010 story now The "Keonov" sounds good to me Thanks.

Nice It was a bit of a surprise when I saw the thread at the top of the Fan Works listing.

Talking of April 1st, is the cat with a rainbow trail bouncing across the bottom of the loading screen a new thing for April 1st, or is it that I've never fired up the game on that date before and it's a known thing.

Ah docking... great fun, especially parking a large vehicle and it's a tight squeeze. This was the first docking I did, with a crew vehicle sent up to my first space station. Back in the distant past, when I didn't know how to hide the HUD.

Oh they all count

Equatorial Duna.

I'd like to submit my story 2001 A Space Absurdity in the humour section. Story thread

Another shot of the construction of KOSTAR, this time the core module entering Mun orbit.

The near terrain is five Apollo photos stitched together then colour adjusted to match. Drawing rocks sounds like a punishment rather than something done for fun

Kraken hats all round... I like.

Yep... Not having atmospheric heating issues when entering Eve atmosphere helped me a lot, especially with the four kerbal lander. That thing was huge.

As I seem to have brought this challenge back to life by accidentally posting to the thread, I thought I should message Holoyolo about taking a look at the new entries. Just got a reply that they'll be taking a look. Think I might take a crack at eeloo as well, when I get back home after easter vacation.

I must get around to doing this before 1.1 comes along I built a couple of single kerbal capsules and even a 4 kerbal (hitchhiker can) one that I used in successful eve return missions in 0.90 but nothing in 1.05.

I did think that maybe I would make a video when I was part way through this. But then sanity kicked in and I realised how long that would take (getting some of the screenshots took long enough).
