Nothing happened 4 days from then; isn't it about time to drop this?

I've updated the OP with @FTLparachute and @TheKspEngineer, with apologies for it taking me a while. I am hoping to see a timelapse video from @Ianwubby. If anyone thinks they've been forgotten, sorry, let me know. I've also changed the rules to add an exception to what counts as "stock": an information mod used only for the purpose of documenting your position can be used in a "stock" attempt. For example, you might use the SCANsat "been there done that" part which draws a line on the mod's small map, but not the other scanning parts or the larger map; or you might use Kerbal Engineer or VOID in a way that displays longitude, latitude, and biome - but not fuel supply, electric charge, or external temperature. You should use such information only when roving, not when travelling to or landing on the target world. I've done this because I find it increasingly vexing that we have a category with a rule that makes it hard for people to document their progress. Of course this does make life a bit easier for the person attempting the challenge - but it makes life much better for anyone reading their report. If anyone thinks this is a terrible idea, let me know.

Thank you. I'd seen a map view with flags in the part of the thread where you continue the Jool-V, but those three views are much clearer.

@FTLparachutestock or modded craft? I'm afraid I've been playing with mods so long I no longer always know which parts are from where.

The game is modded, but is this a stock craft?

I've just seen this, sorry about that - the forums seem to pick any time I remember to look at them as a good time to be down. I'll review it this week.

Goodness me, yes - we're not _that_ picky about routes, especially if you are visiting anomalies or constrained by oceans.

That's an odd way round - visiting anomalies? (I'm waiting for the timelapse on ianwubby's Duna, but does anyone else think I've left them unscoreboarded?)

I'm still a bit confused as to _why_ you want BD Armoury for an Elcano mission, but: as I understand it, you were in orbit around Minmus (point A), you tried to land, the Kraken struck, your last save was in Kerbin orbit, so you Alt-F12ed it back to the orbit you were in at point A? ETA: if so, I'm going to say it's OK this time, if technically against the rules, but please don't do it again. I'm afraid I didn't really realise you were waiting for an answer before continuing - the forum yoyoing has made things difficult.

I'm thinking that one over on the days the forum is up...

What is "pre"?

No, @TheKspEngineer had minmus above and I meant that; sorry for the confusion. I think probably not - it's basically zipping around the North Pole. The total distance should be at least comparable to a route the long way around. As far as I know, everyone has had to design some kind of amphibious vehicle for Kerbin - easy in KSP!

That would be perfectly fine - it just has to be enough to prove you went, and a timelapse more than does that. (I see the Minmus above, will get to it when I have time, but thanks).

I think there's a fairly obvious next question there, given that you seem to have hit this problem while trying to transfer crew to an Elcano rover, which doesn't want much in the way of guns...

Why use Physics Range Extender at all?
