How is this an actual challenge and not just an extension of the Google Picture War from the Lounge? What are the parameters? What type of craft have to be built, and what do they have to do?

No, he's walking to your waste. How soon is now? And bonus points if you mention the reference in the answer.

Nom nom nom. TUBM is a gif.

Next stop, 2554: Flying Cars, the Rings of Saturn, and Jetson's memorabilia!

Several launches/missions this morning!

For starters, I’ll state that I skipped Mercury-Redstone II as it is optional due to being redundant with the Korabl-Sputnik II. Furthermore, I had an issue trying to create the Mercury capsule and the Redstone rocket. For these reasons, I skipped MRII (which is acceptable per the challenge rules). Venera I, Pre Fly-By Vostok I Freedom VII Venera I, Fly-By And that completes Venera I, Vostok I, and Freedom VII.

@Dirt Diver Ok, I'm taking a stab at the crash report; someone a whole lot smarter than I am may have to come in here and validate this OR give you better advice. However, I see the following line in your error file: Write to location 000001BDA47FFFE8 caused an access violation. This tells me that it might be a permissions issue with your machine. Are you running the game as the administrator on your computer? That is, when you launch it, do you get the following screen (or a version of it): If you are running as the administrator on your machine, you should get this pop-up box and you should click "Yes". If you aren't getting this pop-up, youjust need to: Right-click on the executable icon on your desktop Select "Run as Administrator" I'm not sure if that's the same for Steam, but it may be why you are having an issue. If that's not it, then I'm not sure why you are getting an invalid address write error.

I have updated the challenge rules slightly. There are 2 missions, one Soviet and one American, that are effectively the same mission: Korabl-Sputnik II Mercury-Redstone II Both of these missions are to simply put a living being into space (other than a human) and recover the craft. Korabl-Sputnik II is a full orbital flight, while Mercury-Redstone II is sub-orbital. KSP has no mechanic to send anything living other than Kerbals up, so you can't really test a dog or a plant or a primate. And these missions are so similar in scope that doing both is redundant and a waste of time. Therefore, if you are doing both the Soviets and the Americans, you are required to only do 1 of these, and it is your choice as to which one to do.

I feel like I'm the only one doing this. Is this challenge just not catching the attention of anyone? Korabl-Sputnik II has been launched and recovered.

Korabl-Sputnik II And that completes Korabl-Sputnik II.

Because everything has to fit in the universe. So you are small so you can fit. Why is the restaurant at the end of the universe?

Nope. TUBM is an avid collector of stamps.

Not using secret cheat codes? Cheater. And a liar; everyone uses them!

Granted. Unfortunately, the human body isn't meant to go that fast without protection, and you find your skin has been ripped off your muscles rather quickly. And violently. I wish to not ever have to see that corruption happen.

Discoverer XIV has been launched and recovered.

Well, I'm just flying now. Discoverer XIV. And that completes Discoverer XIV.

And Discoverer XIII has been launched and recovered.

And I'm on a roll this morning. Discoverer XIII. This completes Discoverer XIII.

I finished the 1950s in the Historical Space Race challenge (shameless plug). The last flight was Luna III, which is the first gravity assist of the Moon; the satellite launched North and then came up and around the Moon from South to North, taking shots of the far side of the Moon as it was lit up by the Sun. Of course, I had to get a lot closer to Mun than historically, primarily because the Mun's SOI is far less than the actual Moon's. Also, had I not gotten that close, I would have risked being ejected into solar orbit.
