Check out the challenge here: This is my complete run done in 13 imgur albums over about 12 days:

I had to finish, school just got out for my daughters! No all day gaming for dad anymore Now I'll only be able to play in the early mornings, when all are asleep.

I am looking forward to seeing your strategy @Mesklin! Transmitting science via relay will definitely get you the tree faster than me

is that a mod?

The OP? What is that? Just landed on Minmus for the first time specifically to refuel for Jool!

Munless Night Challenge completed in Kerbin year 5 day 354 hour 4 and 2 minutes I plan to try Jool5 now, if anyone wants to see it.....

I will finish the challenge today for sure

Man, you make me want to start over! Your rush of an MPL to Duna will be awaited with much anticipation! I am currently sitting at year 4 day 168 with only 7 nodes left to get. 8 if you count nanolathing which is added by KAS

Hopped around all over Ike, finally left Moho, and LANDED ON EVE!!!!!

@Mesklin, watch out for those probe contracts and them getting close at all to the Mun. I have to reload a save and lost hours and hours of play because I noticed I mysteriously got a milestone reward for a fly-by! I recommend doing the contracts that put a station in orbit of Kerbol, combined with tourist contract that want to orbit Kerbol as well for great funds generation. You seem to know what you are doing

nice work! I love you tourist craft and plan to use the design

Lots and lots going on here!

This was a fun day I am happy

shamelessly stole it from kerbalx.com I suck at building planes

OMG, I cannot wait to post it! I just flew by Moho within 4000m without crashing! It happened so fast, I need to look at the screenshots

yes, I have a LOT of free time......

Excelent start! You get extra points for g-limits and blackouts. I look forward to seeing your progress.

I want all the badges you have @Jetski, pray tell me how I may best acquire them please? I have a ship designed for the ultimate challenge once I have unlocked the prerequisites. As I have mentioned, I want to try for a Jool5 in my current playthrough. The K-prize intrigues me. Battery life challenge not as much. Have I completed a challenge without knowing it already? Would I be able to submit one of my albums as proof if so?

Whether I complete the tree first or not, I am still headed to Jool and Eeloo, as I have never made it that far before. Maybe I'll just get there with superior equipment. Maybe there should be a Jool 5 badge with a Munless Night tag or something. It's definitely a harder challenge to complete without going to either moon of Kerbin first!

Fruit of my labor finally come ripe....

I am thoroughly impressed sir! I intuitively went with a similar, yet far inferior design. As you will see I used 3 LV-Ns and that was probably overkill. But I was unsure of the thrust I would need to land, because I am coming in very fast! I am going to just barely be able to pull it off however with a burn of nearly all the fuel at a periapsis JUST higher than the tallest mountain on Dres. I did the math and I should have enough fuel to land on fumes and start my first mining operation

I've got a decent Dres window now. I just MIGHT be able to design a lander that can slow down in time. The lack of liquid fuel tanks at this point is so frustrating. Playing around with MK1 and MK2 tanks to see if I kind find something that works

I am having a great time doing this it that matters

I made a ton of progress

You need struts! The in-game part and the menu option. Consider upgrading to 1.3 and enabling advanced tweakables. Then right-click every part and choose a parent part to strut. Can even do it on the fly. It made a huge difference to me. I am on Ubuntu 16 however. KSP became unplayable on Win10. Try to shorten your overall height and strap more SRB to the bottom while limiting their thrust so that your ground stage has a TWR at sea level of around 1.3
