That's strange!

Love that design Sargent, very efficient use of space! Would be good attached to a space station!

Yep that qualifies! Winner!

Still doesn't beat my challenge... Claw's entry is the best so far, but he didn't come close to beating my time...

The challenge is no longer limited by the 24 hours, but seeing as he didn't beat my time, it isn't a winner! Game on chaps! The key is to make it light as possible, you'll find if you pitch up and down aggressively, it'll accelerate VERY fast. If you guys really struggle that much to make one though I'll give you my craft file.

Ah I see, well, I'll update the original then!

But then how do we declare a winner? Shall we just do first to beat my time?

Oooh okay I have an idea. Take off from the KSC and land at the island airfield, with no form of thrust at all. You have to make a super infinigliding girder like mine. This may seem easy but they are by their very nature awkward to fly, it may only have control surfaces to deal with yaw and pitch, roll can only done by the pitch in a probe body at the front of the... thing.... This may seem easy but these things by their very nature are awkward to fly as pitch adjustments often cause them to speed up, so the challenge is down to finesse. End condition is landed and stopped on the island runway, that is when your run ends and you record the time. Initial time to beat: 1 minute 38 seconds (it is stopped in the last image, it just fell over a bit, causing the 0.3 m/s)

Ah! Once again the challenger has become the... challengee? Anyway! My mind is a bit blank at the moment so I'll aim to have the challenge with you within an hour or so!

Moar struts!

Several, though mainly with planes. Might try it with docking soon!

Here's my effort! 3 Kerbals down from a 624 x 626 km orbit! Worked as a boat too! As you can see from the pictures, the re-entry itself was fairly sedate, not that much heat at all!

5. Kerbal can only be attached to vehicle using external command chairs or ladders. Nope.

And bingo was his name-o.

Might be worth adding no ladders to the list then if they aren't allowed!
