RIDICULOUS OVERKILL SPACE MISSIONS!

[HolidayTheLeek]

Okay, I'm starting to tire of minimalistic SSTO designs. Sure, they're impressive, but they're impressive in their own way. I miss people creating rockets so large that the game would become a slide show, and I miss the intricate stagings of those rockets (As a bonus, add some non functioning stages, explode them somehow maybe, if your rocket is truly overkill, it should function without it). This isn't really a challenge challenge; It's more of a challenge of your creativity. SSTOs are allowed, but the must be BIG! 

(I have my own example here: (COMING SOON))

So, the main rules are:

1: Must be over 100 parts

2: No mods, I like seeing stock things.

3: Shouldn't be a replica of any existing mission (can be inspired)

4: Must at least go to the Mun.

5: And finally, record a video of your mission and send it here.

Want more difficulty? Here are some of the things to make my challenge harder

Regular Rules: Just follow the regular rules, but aside from that, completely custom.

Easy: Rocket, No explosion, no non functioning stages,

Medium: Rocket, At least one explosion. No non functioning stages

Hard: Rocket, 3 explosions, 1 non functioning stage stage.

Extreme: SSTO. Impress me with everything else about it.

Hope you enjoy my "challenge" and I really hope I get a killer overkill design!

Whackjob would be proud. I might try my hand at this later, however when you refer to SSTO's are you talking about spaceplanes? You mentioned staging but SSTO is Single Stage To Orbit. Just wanted some clarification.

It started as an exercise to test the post 1.1 performance improvements and turned into an epic rescue.  790 parts when docked with the station.  581 Kerbals returned from the Mun.

Basically any kind of SSTO. SSTO space plane, or rocket.

The staging is a seperate thing. Sorry about being unclear with my words

Here's the beginning of a mission that I think may qualify for this challenge

Must have 100 parts? Really? I suggest the minimum part count should be 300.

Yeah. And that's not ridiculous overkill. I know the definition of ridiculous overkill. I have a 200 QBE satellite constellation around Dres and I don't even consider it overkill. Soooooo...

1889 part single launch with 108 probes is overkill methinks
