Drive to KSC 2


Recommended Posts

The challenge is to drive from the launch pad to the second Kerbal Space Center. It must be done entirely over land with no boosters. You may use any and all mods. I suggest Tosh\'s cart mod. Bonus points if you do it with all stock parts. Have fun! :D

I didn\'t even know there was a second one-but if it\'s a great distance away you\'re going to need to puddle jump. The landmasses in KSP aren\'t all continuous.

I was going to challenge myself to circumnavigate the globe using minimal puddle jumping using the BigTrak a bit later on.

Actually, they\'re very continuous. Most of the time, you\'d only have to deviate about 20o from the Equator to manage to circumnavigate Kerbin. Without any rockets.

While there\'s a lot of land, the circumnavigatory path is very convoluted. To get to KSC 2 the short way overland, you\'d have to take a path that goes as north as the 63rd parallel. You can cut a significant amount off that travel distance if your craft can jump or swim across a 30km strait, otherwise it\'s the long way around.

To get to it by going the opposite way around the planet, you\'d only have to hit 53° North at a point during the journey, still pretty northernly.

I thought about doing this, mostly to cheat at this challenge (since the mission clock only starts when you lose contact with the ground). 8)

In the end I figured it\'d be almost impossible to not leave the ground... As for just driving there regardless, it\'d just be an exercise in patience more than anything else. It\'d take several hours.
