I've got a SUPER FAST Kethane Miner rover. Advantages:- 1) It got 4 big driller, that suck Kethane like crazy. 2) Huge tanks 4000 units of Kethane fill up in no time. 2) Its mobile. 3) Its can work on day and night. 4) Big wheels makes it easy to move on moon surface. 5) Applicable via KAS or Manual docking. (Configurable for sr/normal/jr docking port). 023-Kethane Driller Mk3_1

Suggested Mun base location... 1) They are at high ground >4000m. Hence save fuel for taking off and landing. 2) They get the 1st light from the Kerbol (Sun), and longer expose to sun. 3) They don't get block by shadow of terrain. 4) You can have nice screen shoot with far away object such as Kerbin, Kerbol, Minmus.

So, what to do now? Send a few satellite for scanning Kethane deposit?

I reserved the right to say this. Crazy challenge. Have you ever attempt this?

You will be famous for noob organiser. Hence make the participant hate KSP. You dont realise that dont you?

Play KSP without mod... and learn precision docking, landing, EVA. Hope you sometimes will try my posted challenge... 1) Master of EVA. (Gilly version). 2) Master of EVA. (Minmus version). 3) Master of EVA. (Mun edition). 4) Master of Pinpoint Lander. (Kerbin Edition) 5) Master of Pinpoint Lander. (Mun Edition) 6) 33.1km Emergency Rescue on Jeb's Burger! 7) Christmas-is-near-Jeb-decided-to-practice-his-dancing-skill

@Captain Sierra Thanks for bringing me in. Guess is time for me to install Kethane pack again. Heading for mod download, and start building...

Thanks. Thats the right one.

Link please?

I need to do put a 'Pentagon(5) symmetric' for my craft design. I've seen a mod for that, but I completely forget the name. Just give me the link will do. (Reputation rewards for the 1st correct link. ). Thanks.

Solution: You need to put "strut" on the part that it goes through. Reason: Too much thrust it bend the structure of your rocket. Why: Because you get lighter, and the thrust get stronger, but your structure integrity remain the same.

Congratulation! Mobjack None even near your score. You are the champion for this challenge.

I have a better score for you. (Although un-manned, but I believe no one will complain about it.)

Manage to get your craft to the LKO in shorter time. But use more fuel.

Sorry, not in this challenge thread. Perhaps you could start your own challenge thread to challenge other for greatest range SSTO.

Pitty myself. I don't know what to say. Admire your enthusiasm. A word or two...simple, Ion engines does not work well on high mass (Heavy) craft.

I bump myself for helping a kid to build a non asparagus staging, 10 ton lifter. there was such a disappointment that he don't even try to load my craft,( after unable to load in VAB,) Man that was a subassembly craft.

You play f12. You play modify save file:cfg file. You have all your needs. You dont need any help. Hope you enjoy the game.

I bet you put my craft at VAB, instead of the intended Subassembly folder.

You have a gift of drawing cloud of people to your thread. Born project leader.

I wish to join.
