The Challenge: Find an asteroid that's class C-E, and redirect it into a stable orbit between Kerbin and the orbit of the Mun. Name it whatever you want. RULES -MechJeb is permitted, but only for the boring parts (e.g. catching up with the asteroid). You must launch the rocket and redirect the asteroid without MechJeb. -Asteroid size may only be class C, D, or E. Class A and B asteroids are not permitted. -No mods where that will make this really easy (I'm looking at you, Hyperedit) and no warp drives or OP engines. Also, only use F12 if ABSOLUTY NECCESSARY. MODES -Easy Any Class C-E Asteroid Launch a probe to study and redirect it. Build a colony of your choosing on it once in Kerbin's SOI. -Medium Only Class D & E Asteroids Launch probe to redirect it. Build a colony and refueling station. -Hard Class E Asteroid ONLY. Launch lightest probe possible to study, NOT redirect. Launch crewed rocket to redirect. Build a colony with housing space for 30 kerbals, and a refueling station that can hold up to five spaceplanes. REQUIREMENTS Probes must have all science experiments on them. Colony should be able to house 10 kerbals. POINTS Probe Weight 10 tons or less- 5 points 7 tons or less- 10 points 5 tons or less- 15 points 2 tons or less- 20 points 1 ton or less- 25 points Asteroid Size Class C- 2X Multiplier Class D- 5X Multiplier Class E- 10X Multiplier Kerbal Housing On Base 5+ Kerbals- 10 points 10+ Kerbals- 20 points 20+ Kerbals- 50 Points 50+ Kerbals- 100 Points 100+ Kerbals- 10X Multiplier Orbit Altitude 600,000+ Km to 500,001 Km- 20 points 500,000 Km to 400,001 Km- 40 points 400,000 Km to 300,001 Km- 60 points 300,000 Km to 200,001 Km- 80 points 200,000 Km to 100,001- 100 points 100,000 Km to 70,000 Km- 200 points 2X Multiplier if in a polar orbit Refueling Station Capacity (Counted as docking ports on your station) 1+ Ship- 10 points 3+ Ships- 50 points 5+ Ships- 100 points 10+ Ships-150 points 50+ Ships- 1,000 points 20 points for every structure 20 points for the first person to create a badge for this 1 point for every photos (5 photo limit per structure) 5 points for every video (5 video limit) Add up the points to determine your score.

Sorry, I don't have pictures, but I saw a solar eclipse over KSC. Does that count?

Project Mun- Muna 1 & MunSat Project Mun had began. All over the world, Kerbals waited with bated breath, awaiting news of this new project. Werner, who complained about "ze considerable lack of explosions" so far in the Space Program, and suggested an impact probe. Gene decided to go along with this. They named it Muna 1. Live television broadcasts were given, from launch to orbit to transfer orbit to retrograde burn. One orbit around the Mun. And finally, the elusive bang. After that, Gene said a MunSat should be launched. More bated breath. Another launch, another orbit, another transfer, another retrograde burn, and then orbit! The Space Program now decided to continue with probes and satellites. But there were still whispers of the mysterious Project Omega, and some claimed it might just be one of the craziest ideas of all time.

Tereshkova married Andriyan Nikolayev. Nikolayev was on Vostok 3.

Kopernicus 2-ScanSat 2 Mortimer, although pleased with ScanSat 1, decided more detail had to be surveyed. Therefore, Werner made minor edits to the ScanSat 1 rocket to perpare it for launch, included a Narrow-Beam Scanner. 1 launch, 1 orbit, 3 manevuers, 4 solar panels and 1 F12 later, the Scanner began and started recording. The result? Another eustatic 1 kerbal party that was Mortimer. With the main part of the Satellite missions over, Werner decided to make history. He and Gene decided to begin Project Muna. But also, behind closed doors and in whispers, some kerbals heard rumors about another mission. One only known as Project Omega.

Kopernicus 2-ScanSat After the launch of the ComSats, Mortimer Kerman decided ore could make a quick buck for the space program and told Werner to get working on an orbital survey. 4 months later, Kopernicus 2, carrying the ScanSat, blasted off, completed orbit, and successfully completed 2 course corrections (with a little help from F12) and began scanning. Mortimer was extremely excited about this and, on receiving the news during an administration meeting, Linus Kerman claims "Mortimer flipped the table over, had his chair fall down and ran out of the room screaming like a crazed maniac down to the Tracking Station. We're still finding his status reports that happened to be on the table when he flipped it over."

I'm doing a freeplay in KSP and currently working on my satellite network, but then I plan to send TONS of stuff over- probes, orbiters, colonies, refueling stations, etc., etc.

Kopernius 1- ComSats The 'Orange Suits' returned from their vacation to find Gene and Werner hard at work. The newest project was now putting satellites into orbit. For this, Werner had developed a new rocket.The Kopernicus rocketry series was designed to carry self-sustaining probes into orbit. The first thing Gene wanted was a series of ComSats to be launched. All three were roaring successes, which set the stage for the mass of LKO satellites which would soon be launched. Go ahead and give me suggestions!

I love this! This is excellent writing! Suspense, adventure, I love it!

Project Moho- Atlas 3 & 4 With Kerbals making trips to space becoming a semi-regular part of news, Werner and Gene decided go bigger. The public and media, too, were vying for something bigger. Then, Kerbin's First Record Keeping Society announced a contract for 100,000 funds for a rocket that could take a crewed rocket into space, complete an orbit around the planet, and return the Kerbals safely. This made big news in the spacecraft world, and various companies began scrambling together crews and rockets. The Space Program had plans too, and began work on Operation Free-Fall, the project to get Jeb and brothers Bob and Bill, into orbit. But before this could happen, Gene said they needed to test this on a probe first. Thus began Atlas 3, the only unmanned rocket in Project Moho. Scrambled together in 2 months, it was launched, and completed one circuit of Kerbin and made the retrograde burn successfully. However, a software glitch caused the parachutes to jam, and Atlas 3 splashed down hard. No parts were recovered. Construction on Atlas 4 began as soon as Atlas 3 was rolled onto the launchpad. Competitors were already putting finishing touchs on their rockets. Atlas 4 was put together in less then a month, and Werner was determined to launch it first. Just after dawn, two days after it was finished, Atlas 4 was launched. The quote from Jebediah Kerman, 'It's better to die in a fiery explosion then to die of old age' were the last words spoken by the famed pilot before the spacecraft door was shut. Atlas 4 lifted off and did go to space. After they achieved orbit, Jeb set a second world record- he performed the first EVA and spacewalk. Atlas 4 returned safely and normally- in a ball of superheated plasma. Atlas 4 splashed down and was recovered. The Space Program was now richer by 150,000 funds. Jeb, Bob, Bill, and Val took a long, deserved vacation, on which Jeb and Val were married. Gene and Werner ended Project Moho and the Atlas rockets, but the Space Program was far from over. Werner had just made a deal with Zaltonic Electronics and Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics and he and Gene began preparing for the launching of new probes and satellites.

Project Moho- Atlas 1 & 2 After the successful return of Jeb and Val, Space Program rocketeers began to look further. The Kerbal rockets, they decided, while had done their job, were becoming old and outdated compared to some of the parts being released by Rockomax and C7 Aerospace. Plus, contracts were being offered for the testing of new parts. Therefore, Gene Kerman and Werner von Kerman decided to retire the Kerbal rockets. These were replaced by the Atlas series, which continued until the end of Project Moho. Atlas 1 was designed for 3 Kerbals to journey above 70 km and successfully return. This rocket was one of the first of many that were mainly contracted with Rockomax Comglomerate. The Kerbals who were destinied to go to space were Jeb, Bob, and Bill. The safe return of them marked the beginning of the Atlas Rocketry series. The continuation of the Atlas series was decided. Werner and Gene, after the return of Atlas 1, decided that there would be at least 3 more Atlas flights. However, Jeb had ideas of his own. Kerbodyne had recently released the 'Kickback' solid rocket booster and had put out a contract for 35,000 funds for anyone willing to test it. Jeb saw this as a chance to make a quick buck and take care of the second Atlas flight. Surprisingly, Werner von Kerman endorsed this idea, and was quoted as saying, 'What's the worst that can happen?'. Valentina also endorsed this, saying 'Someone has to do crazy stunts.' Jeb managed to go to space and return, though he definitely voided the warranty on his heat shield. I still have one more Atlas mission to go, so the final part of Project Moho will be posted this afternoon.

Project Moho- Kerbal 1 & 2 Following the launch of Kuputnik, Kerbals worldwide rallied for a manned rocket to go to space. Several groups also saw this as a chance to disprove Werner's paper on manned spaceflight orbiting. With much excitment and pressure, the Space Program began Project Moho, with a goal of manned rockets into space, and later manned spaceflight orbiting. The first rocket, Kerbal 1, was to carry one Kerbal above 70 km, and return safely. After much research, math, and building, Kerbal 1 was completed, and was the first manned spacecraft. Jebediah Kerman was the first Kerbal in space, and the first Kerbal to survive re-entry. Following Jeb's journey into space, Sean's Cannery released the Mk2 Lander Can. Gene Kerman, who now wanted 2 kerbals to go to space in one rocket, saw this as a change to make more news. So the Space Program signed a contract with the Cannery, in which the Space Program would give marketing for this new product, and the Cannery would allow the test of one of these newfangled products. 6 months later, the Space Program unveiled the Kerbal 2, a two seater rocket. Jebediah and Valentina Kerman were the two pilots who would fly this, making Valentina the first female Kerbal in space.

Thanks!

Well, I'm doing a freeplay of KSP right now, and I plan to launch a lot of stuff, so sign me up!

So, I decided to quit my Muna missions and deleted that save, but I have plans for something way better. Missions all around the Kerbol system, in something of historic accuracy. Enter Kerbal Freeplay. This is going to be sort of with a story. The Kuputnik After Werner Von Kerman published the paper on manned rockets, in which he laid out the ability for rockets to be manned, and how that could be used, he became world famous, for the entirety of Kerbal society was about space. Werner was given a strip of coastal land and buildings for the successful launching of spacecraft. This was on the government's dime. Engineers and scientists were hired, as were Jeb, Bob, Bill, and Val. Volunteers began signing up. But the first thing Werner and Gene wanted to do was to launch a self-sustaining satellite into orbit. Kuputnik was the result. It successfully orbited, and proved to fans, media, and skeptics alike that rocketry could put stuff in space.

I don't know how to post the pictures, though I might in the future.

I just got the full version of KSP for Christmas, so I'm pretty new at this, but I have started the Muna Project. The basic idea is to send probes and manned spacecraft to the Mun, which is the easiest body to get to in KSP. Below are the craft that have been launched. Munar Station 1: Success. Is a 5-kerbal single rocket in munar orbit. Command module is a Cupola with one HSC attached as well as a battery pack and 2 giant solar panels. Launched with a modified Kerbal X rocket. Muna 1: Success. Is a probe on the Mun. Has an OKBT with solar panels and a Com 88-88. Launched with a modified Kerbal X rocket. Munar Rover 1: Failure. Was a rover designed to land on the Mun. Had 2 driving wheels, two steerable wheels, Rovemate, solar panels, Comsat. Destroyed during landing, was too fast and destroyed upon touchdown. Launched with a modified Kerbal X rocket. Munar Base 1: Failure. Was a 5-kerbal crew designed to land. Had one Cupola, one HSC, 2 solar panels. Didn't have enough fuel to land or orbit, would have been long gone if not for the Revert button. I think we all know what it was launched with.
