Hi guys, sorry that I've been somewhat negligent of late. I'm tremendously busy at present.
Hopefully I'll have a chance to review recent thread activity over the weekend.

Brilliant stuff.

To the best of my knowledge, there's never been a Caveman landing on Moho...
@ManEatingApe, you visited Moho in version 1.1 according to @Moesly_Armlis's records.
It's very difficult for me to picture you performing a mere flyby, even at Moho.

No caveman has yet been able to conjure magic to that degree.
Yes, ladder drives and similarly driven crafts are still forbidden.

I remember when first I started this thread. It seems as if it were yesterday.
Now it's been 3 years and there are broken images in the first pages. I feel so proud.

Look at that beautiful nuclear trefoil.
The Oreo Bomber is a truly versatile ascent vehicle.
Yessss... The mesmerizing blue glow of high velocity radioactivity...
It looks like... like... like every other engine plume in the stock game!
Orbit! With, um, 500 m/s left!
Okay, 500 m/s is not so great. I think we need moar fewel. Here comes a smaller rocket off the pad:
But guess which engine I'm using to burn for orbit! Aha, I bet you didn't think I would use the mega-technology, all-electric, black market Non Newtonian 2000 engine which costs merely 200,000 funds!
Oh wait. That's just a Terrier. Ba - ho, ah - ring!
Isn't docking just so fun without a decent tracking station!
Docked! Hm? What's this? That's not a fuel tank!
No, my friends, that thing is not a fuel tank...
This is a fuel tank!
Anyone else have the star wars imperial march stuck in their head?
Like I said, this is one fuel tank (singular). Heh heh heh. Dun-dun-dun, dadada dun, dadada dun!
Okay, the empty fuel tank has been jettisoned and the ship has been rearranged to be more symmetrical.
Dun dun dun, dun dadun, dun dadun!
With the addition of the next piece, the ship now looks like a ruptured sputnik.
I'm gonna just show the payloads (yes, plural) docked to save time. No launches. [Presses fast-forward]
Dun dun dun, dun dadunnadun! Dun dun!
Dun du- <snip> Edited by moderator: That's quite enough of your "dun dun dunning".
Last payload for today!
I wonder where I should send Jeb...
@RoninFrog, that's what I call an unfair advantage.

@RoninFrog, congratulations are in order! The cave wall has been updated.
The world is your cavern. Keep on spelunking! :p

never noticed this before, i'll give it a try. at highest difficulty, of course, because
i tied too much of my self-worth to videogames and i pull stunts to stave off my insecurityi don't do things halfwaylooks like there is a simple way to finish it regardless of difficulty: wait for your contracts to expire until you get the "test stuff on the launchpad". those always give free money. but it would not be in the spirit of the challenge, so i'll try to do it honestly
One does not simply "wait for contracts to expire."
Indeed, for most difficulty levels the main challenge is to design vessels capable of gathering the science necessary to unlock the tech tree nodes within the design constraints of the level 1 VAB/SPH, viz. an 18 ton weight limit and 30x part count limit.
On another note, I observe that the forum update has broken the topic page. This problem will be remediated post-haste.
-
As no one has yet mentioned this, and it seems to me to be of paramount importance in any forum update, I shall.
Where are the new emojis? Surely we can't be expected to chug along with an antiquated collection when everything else has been improved.

The text contrasts poorly with the white background on large screens, methinks.

The first thing eh?
Melt the VAB of course!

The launchpad is octagonal. Stop signs are octagonal...
Odd, eh?

Fact:
The reflection of "toad" spells "daot."
Invert the "d" and exchange the position of "a" with that of "o."
The result: qoat
Toads are shape-shifting goats.

Bug-eyes are cute. Blinking is not cute.
Case & point:
Kerbals need to be cute, therefore they have bug-eyes and do not blink.

I wouldn't consider myself a true amateur astronomer.
I have, however, managed to observe both a total solar and total lunar eclipse. The latter with my refracting telescope.

Boo! I bet you weren't expecting this one.

Is this challenge still alive?
I completed a Normal difficulty Caveman challenge with no contracts. My strategy was to gather all of Kerbin's surface (Splashed and Landed) science, as well as the Flying Low science. I completed the challenge without going more than 9000 meters above Kerbin's surface.
Mission report here:
Caveman congratulations @QF9E! Brilliant work!
You have been added to the completion board and may claim your badge.

Goal:
Make a brownie ice cream: pick up some brownie from Moho, some ice from Eeloo, then land on Kerbin without landing on other bodies.
It's a very good idea. I love it.
But it will be bloody difficult.

Here is a Bennu global mosaic at 5cm/px. This is the best global resolution that will be obtained.
The cratering concentrated along a linear path (center of image) is interesting to note. What might have caused this phenomenon?

Flyable aircraft are deceptively difficult to design with caveman restrictions and are invariably deathtraps for the pilots who fly them.
Below is the best design that I was able to create, and even it was dangerously under-powered and prone to stalls. The best advice that I am able to provide you with is to use forward winglets for pitch control instead of rear ailerons, which decrease lift.
