[1.0.5] Kerbal Dynamics: Jebediah Does The Skydive

[ihtoit]

Fun challenge: put Jeb (or Valentina) in a chair and drop him from 39,000m - and land on KSC!

Parameters:

- Jeb is your pilot. Or Valentina.

- Any method to get him/her to altitude is acceptable, HOWEVER, during the descent phase, no propulsion methods are permitted. All you get for descent is a parachute and a chair with the barest minimum of movable control surfaces and something to mount them on. Absolute weight limit of the chair assembly including Kerbal: 0.634t.

 

No points this one, just Kudos for being willing to blow half an hour for kicks.

 

Mine: Valentina going vertical for her drop. Yes, the plane did go ballistic to exactly 39km, separation was at 15m/s!

 

Aiming for the VAB... Missed it by that much!

 

Yep. Just FORTY METRES!
