Dual Gravity Assist

[Cooly568]

The challenge: Use a dual gravity assist to smash into the mun as fast as possible! (Not velocity, mission time.)

The rules: Use any mod THE MOD MUST NOT BE OVERPOWERED No config edits.

How to do this: 1. Launch from kerbin. 2. Sling around the mun into a new kerbin orbit that could get to minmus. 3. Sling around minmus. 4. Get to the mun as fast as possible. 5. Smash into the mun.

Your Score: Your score will be your mission time from launch to hitting the mun.

Bonus Points: -5 Minutes of time for a 1 stage rocket, -1 Minute of time for every Gee the kerbals feel on munar impact.Feel free to think some more up and I will put them here.

Wow sounds like a fun challenge cooly, maybe add points for every G the Kerbals take when they hit as well

[Cooly568]

I can add that idea.

[cardgame]

By 'as fast as possible' I thought you meant velocity, not time trial.

[Cooly568]

I will clarify that.

You do realise that if you impact at 10km/s, that equates to roughly 10,000G on impact?

[sal_vager]

So that\'s 10,000 -1 minutes to your time

Im gonna go at this, Im quite good with gravity slingshots >

Bwhahahaha!!>:3

How do you figure that? A perhaps naive assumption would be something like

a=v²/(2d)

However, since 10km/s is faster than the speed of sound in steel and likely whatever the ship is made of, an interesting effect will happen where the back of the ship doesn\'t 'know' the front has hit something until it also hits it.
