I am not sure if this has been put forth as a challenge so I figured I would post the idea anyways to see if it generates any interest. I have attempted this myself using stock parts and have come really close to being able land in water using VTOL and no parachutes. Since I have not successfully landed in water yet I have not attempted a water rescue. The Challenge: Launch four(4) kerbal's in random directions and land them safely on Kerban. Then, build a rescue vehicle that can venture out and bring back all four(4) Kerbal Astronauts. Mods are allowed but there is a bonus if you can do it without. Requirements: - Must have controlled flight capabilities. (5 points) - Must be able to land and takeoff in water. (20 points) - Must be able to be driven on land similar to a car, rover, etc. (10 points) - Rescue two(2) Astronauts from land (Two separate locations, at least 1000m apart) (20 points) - Rescue two(2) Astronauts from water (Two separate locations, at least 1000m apart) (40 points) - Must be able to return all Kerbal's safely to the Space Center. (20 points) Bonuses: - Rescued all in single trip. (20 points) - Used stock parts only, no Mods. (50 points) - Look Ma, No parachutes! (20 points) Questions, comments and feedback are always welcome. Thanks and have fun!
