This was a simple yet entertaining challenge. Here is my entry: Ground distance covered: 69,406 meters After the rocket runs out it can travel far but is very slow to pull up(but possible) but it can dive bomb faster than Jeb trying to buzz the tower. It also could have gone farther but I have other challenges I wish to work on.

I decided to do full on fairings for my craft. Full Report http://imgur.com/a/Dfe9N#0 Main Mission - 30 points Everything has to be started with a single rocket (no building ships in orbit or refueling in orbit) You have to fly a LOR mission (you need a Command Module [CM] and a specialized Münar Module [MM]) No mods! All stock, no Mechjeb. (Did Neil and Buzz land by auto pilot?) BYOR (Bring your own rocket) - The rocket must be your own design Goals 3-man Mission +10 2-man Lander +10 2-stage Lander (leave the decent-engine on the mün) +20 Main rocked aspargus'd? -10 (Wernher von Kerman does not like aspargus!) Escape tower? +10 Lander stored behind the CM during ascent +20 Lander tucked away behind some fairing? +5 Free return trajectory to the mün +10 Flawless landing (no parts broke off, Neil Armstrong is watching you!) +10 Got a Munar Roving Vehicle (MRV) on board? +15 After succesfull Mün landing docked CM and MM in Orbit (no swapping ships without docking them first) +10 MM disposed by crashing it into the Mün (remove Kerbal first!) +5 Plant flag on the Mün (no cumulative, i.e. two flags don't get you 6 points) +3 Spashing down on Kerbin (land on water) +5 Kerbal dies -20 Awesome new goals: Keep the CM pilot busy Deploy münar sub-satellite before returning to Kerbin +10 Points Landing accuracy Land within 100 meters of the NAM +15 I was roving on the Moon one day... Are we there yet? - +15 points - Drive beyond 10km of the lander MSEP - Mün Surface Experimental Package Science extravaganza! - +15 points - Deploy four experimental packages 2.5km from the landing site (and at least 2.5km from eachother) total=218

with my experiences with the zoxygene mod is that the drills cause a lot of lag. I have no idea if that is still present though.

and an audio version just because http://soundcloud.com/betarepeating/portal-2-the-adventure-core I just had to put this up... Never gets out of my head when I'm playing

you sir deserve an award for such a great reference. So far I have been unsuccessful with all my lander designs just leaveing the atmosphere but jool is fun to fly on But there will always be room in my heart for more planets, moons and maybe someday other solar systems

MY craziest mishap would of had to be my first muner landing. It was like most landing, vertigo incline, burst when speeds gets too high, and constant watch on the altimeter. BUUUUT I was new that the ball thing and had a slight drift to the north and it was a hilly area. This was what always killed me before then. As I was getting close to the surface I noticed I was drifting over it and planned it to be no big deal. Simple put I hit the ground, destroyed half of my 6 landing gears and was still standing after even without the SAS on. When I got back they died horrible when the parachute fell off for some reason. I'd love to see someone replicate that.

I have given jeb his honor pedestal on Mun Don't ask how, idk how I did that.
