Saturn V on Mun (or Minmus)

[antiquark]

Here\'s a challenge: land a Saturn V on the moon. I don\'t mean, land one part of it... land the whole thing!

I tried for a while, but couldn\'t do it... I could almost get a Saturn V in orbit, but engines would overheat and things would stop working and it would always tumble out of control. See attached pic of the 'Saturn V Lifter'.

how much lag did you get? :thumbup:

[antiquark]

Yeah, that\'s one of the reasons I 'gave up'... was too hard to do anything when the monitor updates once every three seconds!

Launch mass: 534.2 tons..

I think the biggest ship I\'ve ever built was just over 100 tons, that\'s a big ship you have..

You should play around with putting RCS at the top and bottom, that normally stabilises my ships.

Sweet merciful crap, I did it! You don\'t want to know how many times I tried.

Mods used: ALL OF THEM!

Now... launch ten next to each other as a base.

I\'ll get back to you in five years!

Wow! You\'re good!

[mod]Please cut large images from a post you quote. Thank you.[/mod]

Now, that is one impressive landing.

Wow! You\'re good!

Please, do not quote huge images. It makes everyone have slower loading times, and may lead to Jebidiah eating through the emergency sandwich supplies.

EDIT: Thanks, mods!

Now take that Saturn V and land it on Minmus.

No problem! (See attached image).

(I changed my design a bit though, from the earlier one.)

I meant the one you had on the mun.

[SunJumper]

Can you use the whole thing to get to Kerbol orbit and return retrograde?

[Millst0ne MK II]

Try to get back to kerbin and land the whole thing in one peice!

[antiquark]

Lol, I\'ll attempt those other things after someone else puts a Saturn V on the Mun! ;P

Er, my computer would melt.
