This is a mission for everyone. If you've been to the Mun, you remember the struggle to design something awesome enough to reach its cratered surface, the long, perilous descent onto the surface itself, and the inevitable failure of your landing legs. If you've been to the Mun you know what pain is. If you haven't been to the Mun, your one goal is your worst enemy: the Mun. It mocks you, even when you shut down your computer. The Mun is visible in real life, so it taunts you in real life. No matter where you go, you cannot escape the eventuality: you cannot be a rocketeer without travelling to the Mun. After reaching orbit, you go to the Mun, that's just the way it works. Dramatic preamble aside, this challenge is more or less exactly in the spirit of something entirely different from the Dres Awareness challenge. The Mun needs nothing, but we need revenge. The challenge is simple: send a mission to the Mun that's suitably massive enough that you can say to yourself: "I have conquered the Mun; there is no mission to the Munar surface that I could not succeed in completing." One rule: no hyperedit. Other mods are totally fine, and don't in any way challenge the legitimacy of your mission (I'd like a list of mods nevertheless, but it's not neccessary). This challenge is about self-fulfillment. Hyperedit is an excellent tool, but in this case, it's counter-intuitive to purpose of this challenge. Mods are perfectly reasonable. NOTE: I'm willing to discuss the no-hyperedit rule. I want lots of pictures! Not for confirmation or anything, I just want to see what everyone comes up with. In case you're still on the fence: There's a badge!
