haha very smart. I was doing mine ass about face--trying to use parachutes to flip it around then decoupling the parachutes and using engines to cancel the momentum and liftoff. (Was wanting to do it without sepratrons or rcs but have to admit thats an ingenious idea)

Nope doesnt work. That was my first creative thought. Edit: Ninety-Three--My attempt had a couple of long struts extending out the side of the command module, attached to that was a pile of parachutes. The problem with them is that you need to be going forward at a certain speed / over a certain distance before they start to right you. By the time this happens at this height youve practically hit the ground. I don't think its possible with even a medium sized ship but it'd be cool if someone proved me wrong

I think this would be interesting if there were extra points for different challenges. I.E. No RCS etc. I was playing around with a non RCS rocket for fun (relating to this challenge) and although it seems to be pretty hard I think with work it would be doable.
