Who can make the Smallest Tylo Lander? Size doesn't matter if the delta-v is sufficient I have seen many videos made by many famous KSP youtubers such as HOCGaming, Scott Manley and Enter Elysium. In their videos where they have gone to Tylo their landers have been rather large in size, so my challenge to you is to build the smallest lander (in terms of mass) that can land on Tylo and have the kerbal return to orbit. Rules - No mods unless they are informational mods such as KER - The only other mod exception is mods to teleport your lander to Tylo orbit. - The lander doesn't have to return to orbit, only the kerbal so using the EVA-Pack is allowed. - No cheats such as unbreakable joints, no crash damage, infinite fuel or other cheaty things. Submissions - Videos are preferred but screenshots work just fine. - Be sure to document all staging and the final landing. - If there is drama such as a low TWR or jetpacking into a stable/safe orbit please document that as well. - All submissions need to have their crafts mass included by a screenshot from inside the VAB with the craft info window up Completionist/Leader Board Anyone who participates in the challenge will have their name put on the leaderboard along with their craft's mass and a basic summary of the lander. Participants: - @JacobJHC Video Submission, Screenshot of mass in Imgur, no fuel lines - 2.251 Tons - @Ultimate Steve Screenshots, offcenter decoupler - 2.13 Tons - @Ultimate Steve Video Submission, Entertaining video, excessively good use of EVA pack - 1.9 Tons - @Nefrums Screenshots from a low mass Jool 5 mission, no electric charge lander, use of jet pack to achieve orbit. - 1.17 Tons - @EvermoreAlpaca Video submission was a grand tour, recovered the lander back to Kerbin, single stage - 5.125 Tons - @n.b.z. Imgur submission used priority settings to remove the need for fuel lines, used a single spark engine. Nice comments on the Kerbal's feelings. - 1.938 Tons

I watched a video about a tiny Tylo lander that weighed about 1.5 tons. I tried to see if I could build somthing similar to match my need for a lander and I ended up with a 2.5 ton rocket-powered lawn chair. I put the video I based it on in the description I really suggest watching it.
