The Absurd High-Energy Solar Impact challenge

[SunJumper]

Get the highest mass to crash into the sun. As entry speeds aren\'t affected as much by fuel use, just concentrate on the highest mass. The speed at which your command module gets destroyed is the speed you calculate with

Edit: This thread is named after The Absurdly Energetic Munar Impact Challenge, as both have a similar premise. If you\'re reading this, go check it out 8)

Last time i checked you can\'t actually crash into the sun... you could still calculate the kinetic energy you have while passing trough the middle...

The sun\'s been an impactable object since v 0.14. The challenge description implies it\'s a paid-version-only challenge.

For people on the demo, press ESC when your altitude is zero

I don\'t know exactly how big the sun is, but that would give them a headstart, wouldnt it?

Last time I checked Kerbol seems to have very tall mountains. I crash well before hitting altitude=0m.

Uh, Kerbol is the sun.

They may not be actual mountains, but you can crash into Kerbol several thousand km above the nominal surface.
