Record title:water speed

Record Statistic: 8.8 m/s

Game version when record achieved: .15.2

Screenshots: are at the bottem no idea to put on post without links?!

Mods used: carts but only too get the thing in the water

also the cart got stuck under the craft so it slowed us a little and blow up the engine

Clockwise from bottom: Science Module, Habitation Module, Support Module, Command Centre, Comms Module.

Mods used: Oh, boy. MechJeb, Probodobodyne, Kosmos (SSPP & LK), Bace, NovaPunch. I think that\'s it.

Largest Mun and minimun to date: I can re-design both since 4 solid boosters overkills the mun escape, and really makes it difficult to capture kearth orbit.

Minimun mountain

I really need a better computer, or some more optimization is needed to get bigger stuff into orbit.

I feel like this should include and altitude component, for jet-only planes. There was a Challenge for that a while back, but it seems to have died. You\'d be able to tell if someone was cheating based on their MET, most likely. I know I\'m not the actual record holder; I\'ll just provide mine as a start, if you decide to include it.

Record title: Altitude with air-breathing engines

Record Statistic: 28 109m

Mods used:

Tiberdyne Big Shuttle Wing

MechJeb

Craft name: Meteor Mk II

Note:

This challenge has really helped me optimise my ascent profile when it comes to flying aircraft. Will have to try some Pegasus-style launchers again and see what I can get into orbit with how little.

Fastest time to Mun: 2:06:07

15.2, MechJeb.

There\'s definitely more room to go down with this. A more precise insertion burn, using *all* of the delta-v in my tanks, etc. Not to mention if I built a rocket specifically for this challenge instead of using my stock lifter. I think sub-1:30:00 is definitely do-able.

Other proposed record categories:

Highest ratio of mass to orbit to mass on the launch pad

Highest ratio of mass to orbit to total vehicle thrust (i.e. add up the thrust of every engine on the craft)

Least fuel burned to orbit

Least fuel burned to Mun landing

Least fuel burned to Minmus landing

All categories should have a 'with mechjeb' and 'without mechjeb' subcategory, as well as 'stock parts only' and 'non-stock allowed' under each of those.

Broke my record for time to Mun. 1:17:30! Again, 0.15.2, Mechjeb. This is just about optimal for the craft I\'m using, I could probably only get a few minutes better. 1:10:00 or so. A better time would require a more customized craft, and probably for some bugs to get fixed in the trajectory projection in map view at higher velocities. =/ (try making an intercept trajectory with Mun at over 4000 m/s and you\'ll see what I mean)

Crashing into the sun (note Sundiver\'s name)... there ends up being a similar speed no matter how you do it.

And now a made-up one:

Apparently this happened during my 11-12km/s re-entry.

Ludbles Kerman\'s smile warms my heart, moments later he and his crew were vaporized when their car rolled over.
