OOHHH...Can it be 1.05?

 

Most of these entries are 1.0.5. Go for it.

Eeesh, just when the 1.1.2 download finished.... Just to be sure, 1.1.2 is fine right?

Great job! The interior of the restaurant is very nice. I would have had a problem with your use of 'infinite fuel' and 'no crash damage,' but the follow-up missions count, so you're good...and up on the board. Grab yourself a badge (if you want) and give yourself a pat on the back (if your arms are long enough). 

Spacebrick3's score: Over a few kerbals served. 

Cheers!

1.1.2 is exactly as fine as 1.0.5, 1.1, or even 0.90. There's no point being pedantic about a challenge like this. The Mun stays pretty consistent between KSP versions.

Mine is in two parts: 

The original mission - 201 Kerbals stranded on the Mun.
The Rescue - 380 Kerbals rescue the 201 stranded Kerbals.  All 581 Kerbals return to kerbin in a powered landing of the 1200t rescue ship.

I think I'm gonna revisit this... It was a fun challenge and I never got to finish it.

I am completing the challenge now should I show you the thread with the progress now or wait until I finish? I am about halfway unless I decide to expand.

Having read the first few entries I realised backdated efforts are fine ( and I should have entered last year before it got completely outlandish... ). Still:

Once upon a time I landed a thing on the Mun.

Spoiler

And it fell over. So, I landed another thing next to it, and then a couple more things ( and at some point pulled the first thing upright ):

Spoiler

So my little green minions drilled, and drilled and chewed things and gave birth to a portly beast:

Spoiler

But this wasn't enough: so they harnessed the beast and kept chewing, and slowly their desire to roam the *ahem* lush and exciting munar landscape took tangible form:

Spoiler

Which begat a larger, better, stronger form:

Spoiler

And so the cycle of life progressed with the old left to decay while the new boldly ventured further:

Spoiler

And still they chased perfection:

Spoiler

( also hoverbikes! )

Spoiler

Until 18 Kerbals were driving a 350 ton mobile base capable of self-replication, up mountains

Spoiler

To this day they're still there, still trying to crawl out of the harsh terrain at the south pole. And they'll be roaming forever.

Posting here to remind me to do this when I get back to my real computer. My laptop can't handle this, but in around a month I may have something for ya'll...

Yeah. This counts. A lot. 

I think it shares the basic mission profile of most flights to the Mun. Get there safely, botch the landing, await an elaborate rescue. Three steps to success. 

You're on the board. 

@JebsDead score: 581 not-dead kerbals.

However you like. It's a bit tidier to post when you've finished, but status updates are nice because they show progression.

That's awesome; I've always had a soft spot for rovers. What mods did you use for the base building? 

@Van Disaster score: 350 tons of rover 

It's been awhile (way too long) since I've replied to this thread. And I appologize for the delay, but I'll be replying more promptly from now on. 

Cheers!

Looks like the original Bobcat HOME which I kept reconfiguring to make it work up to 0.90, and proc parts with my own skins for the tank modules. Also looks like some Karbonite parts. Not sure where the truss bits on the rovers came from, maybe near future.

"replicating rover!" - the 5th incarnation could self-replicate even if it fell over, I had detachable drill sections ( just need to KAS cable attach them ).
