Tourist would like to go on a suborbital flight of the Sun

[CorBlimey]

17k kredits for 2 passengers on a suborbital Kerbol dive.

wow.. Let's ignore the 15k m/s dV needed

[Scotius]

*facepalm* Tourists...crazier than average Kerbals by a mile...though Jeb fully approves

[Bill Phil]

I thought testing launch clamps on any sort of trajectory was insane... but this? Wow.

[Gaarst]

But, but only glorious leader of Best Korea can walk on the Sun...

[dryer_lint]

And not just one but two customers want to walk on the Sun...

[jarmund]

I say let them. Then others will learn not to pay you for stupid ideas they come up with at bachelor parties.

[Cydonian Monk]

Ha! Love it! Tourists with more money than brains.... Though the prices they're willing to pay really aren't all that well balanced. Would be nice if there was a ticket booth we could click on at Mission Control so we could set the gate fees / ticket prices.

[Bandock]

Lol at a suborbital flight to the Sun!

Samuel T Anders is a space-tourist?

So basically the same as real life. Very realistic simulation.

[Guest]

You can still send them at night! (Old joke)

I like you.

My response to a similar question in the official 1.0 thread.

Please direct him to the suicide helpline.

They really should make those pills illegal on kerbin

[Starwhip]

Note: Not "to" or "from".... "On" the Sun.

(Yeah, yeah, by definition, that's what is should be. But it still sounds funny.)

What's getting into these tourists? They tryin' to sabotage your reputation or somethin'?

Lol if he really wants to go there I'd send him there but I'm not bringing him back from that And you only need that much dV if you wana do it in a hurry. You can get on a Suborbital Sun trajectory by slingshoting off Jool for alot less

yes, true. And a suborbital flight only means dipping your periapsis below the horizon. You don't actually have to let dem Kerbals 'complete' the suborbital part

I've heard the phrase "The customer is always right" but I draw the line here...

Kapitalism at work

[Kilmeister]

I thought all these tourist contract spam was just annoying... But after seeing these intrepid tourists' requests I have to reconsider. If a tourist requests a luxury sundive cruise, I will be more than happy to accommodate him. I will absorb the monetary loss to make sure that his dreams are fulfilled.

[Wayfare]

Guess they might as well be...

You land during night, do not see problem

[Alshain]

This isn't that insane. It doesn't say leave them on a suborbital trajectory, it just says get them there. You can always get to suborbit and then turn around and go straight to orbit again.

It may be challenging, but it's not one of the crazy impossible ones like testing the launch clamps in orbit of the Mun.

[SpacedCowboy]

They originally wanted to go to Bop, but that flight was all booked up:rolleyes:

I knew I was onto something with my Hitchhiker's Guide to Kerbals. The Sunshippers are real!
