I was also thinking about Gravity 2.0, making the distance shorter for a rescue mission.. any thoughts or additions for the second version are welcome!

Hey Samurai! I used your scoring and Leaderboard notes, I've included the scenario for forumers (lol to download so they dont have to wast time creating the original dive bomb mission! You guys are awesome, Im embarrassed you guys have already completed the mission and I haven't posted my results(explosions, failed orbits, Kraken attacks).. I had such a kerbal day of problems this weekend building the ship to complete the mission! But Im hoping to post my max score sometime tonight or tomorow.

Thanks for all the input! I now have the challenge as a scenario! Good Luck have fun! http://www./?l1ceehrom33vx81

what kame first? the Rocket or the Kerbal?

Thats a great Idea! i will certainly get one going for all to use as a startup, but everyone should create their own rescue ship! Thanks @Stochasty

what also makes the challenge interesting is that you don't have an orbit to match with to save the falling kerbals.

well This is a worst Case scenario kind of deal. You have no engines, wings or chutes(I recently landed safely with a glider from 150,000 meters in space). Just a Docking port or some eva to make the escape. Basically these kerbals on are a course to death and the only way to save them is via a 2nd ship.

Docking has been the scariest thing in KSP. I have finally managed it and have docked 2 things on my first day. After your first docking it gets much easier. The biggest thing to remember is kill your target speed when you get close. From there is just smooth sailing with RCS. I promise!

Created an Apollo mission to mun with a Columbia docking and all.. but I forgot Electricity on the first mission .. second mission.. NO Solar panels.. 3rd mission, not enough Monopropellent to dock back to Columbia withing 18.3 meters . Been a very frustrating mission but I've had a lot of fun doing it.

SCENARIO NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD Edit: A ship (Minmus) has been stranded with now lights, electricity or fuel!! The ship holds 3 Kerbals Bill, Bob, and Jebediah, you must assemble and launch a ship to intercept the ship before it impacts Kerbin! Good Luck! "original mission" Send a mission to the second moon, Minmus. No need for landing, we will take this ship and burn retrograde causing your orbit to hit Kerbin, at this point eject all fuel aboard, except Monopropellent. NEXT, you must launch a second ship and intercept the falling ships crashing orbit to Kerbin and save all Kerbals aboard! Download the Mission HERE: http://www./?l1ceehrom33vx81 Scoring: 100 pts for every Kerbonaut that makes it home, max 300 points 35 pts for docking with the doomed ship 20 pts for forget- *cough* that is, intentionally not using a parachute to land on Kerbin 50 pts for using only stock parts 65 pts for having the doomed craft land on Kerbin safely, instead of being vaporized 470 pts possible, which means a perfect rescue mission. Scoreboard: zarakon-470 (Perfect Score!) RickRastardly-385 ~~~This~could~be~you!~~~ ~~~This~could~be~you!~~~ ~~~This~could~be~you!~~~

impossible innovations.. nothing this package can't do with stock parts... a little cheat/cheap if that bothers you.

My first landing on E*Lo 4 life!!!!

also use grey fuel tank after every orange tank

anyone else notice their castles missing on .20.1? wonder if that was an egg in itself?
