Jump and Ride

[Rematog]

Here's an idea for a challenge. "Rescue" a kerbonaught by having them jetpack up to sub-orbital (on an airless body) and rendezvous with a ship.

Stock, no cheats (infinite fuel, etc).

Points:

Jet pack Fuel remaining x gravity of world (in m/s/s)

"I jumped so high Bonus" 2x for 100% jet pack fuel. (Gilly Jumping....)

I guess there would be no way of verifying that the Kerbonaught actually jumped unless you make a video, so this would be on the honor system.....

This would be ridiculously easy on Gilly.

From a 100km orbit, around Gilly, I get out of the ship, "land" and return to the ship, using only 8% jet pack fuel (92% left).

EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's not really an entry for this challenge, but it's kinda related and I thought it would be interesting to show it to you. Edited March 30, 2015 by Aphobius

True, Gilly may be easy, but with 0.049 m/s/s surface gravity, it gives few points. if you Jumped (100% fuel left, and got double points) you'd get 2 x 100% x .049 or 0.098 points. This would be about equal to Minmus with 20% fuel left or Mun with 6% fuel left.
