Hey everyone. Been away from the game for a bit.. But got back into it by introducing another friend of mine to the game. Watching him play & learn I saw him starting to do the same thing we all have done. BUILD IT BIGGER!!!!!!! I wanted to show him the fun of.. 'how low can you go..' so I issued him a challenge. Build the lightest craft possible to take 1 ( or more ) Kerbals from Kerbin to the Mun and return him/them/it safely back to Kerbin. Rules: Only stock parts. Craft must transport 1 Kerbin (alive) from Kerbal to the mum & back. Kerbal & landing stage must land safely somewhere in the area between the VAB & Launch Pad. Computer/navigational aids ( MechJeb etc ) are permitted. Clipping & other in game oddities are permitted. Cheat codes ( unlimited fuel, etc ) are NOT permitted. Lowest weight craft wins.. Weight includes EVERYTHING you take out to the launch pad with you.. If it launches or not. My rules were a little more restrictive. Since they included everything on the pad & a designated landing area. But otherwise pretty much the same. I'm not trying to hijack the thread.. More like trying to revive it.. I think I have a craft that will win the #1 spot.. If Andrew would like to dig this old thread up.. So.. Would anyone like to see what I came up with? What can you come up with?
