Kerbin Elcano challenge. (KEC)

[Kerbinchaser]

Hello all you forum users! I am currently planning my first Kerbin Elcano challenge, and I am super excited. Most of the trip will be on water, because the land is too rough,

but that doesn't matter. I am in development of a mark2 hull based pontoon boat, with an outer deck,  seating for 6 Kerbals, solar arrays on the rear,

and ore harvesting equipment. Man, I wish I had photos, but Flickr isn't working yet.

MODS I PLAN TO USE:

KAS,

KIS,

Ven's stock revamp, (for textures)

KER,

MechJeb,

and MK2 expansion. 

Anyway, when I get some shots up I'll showcase my craft. Thanks for visiting my little corner of the forums!

Good luck with it.  IMHO this is a challenge everybody should do at least once.  There are quite a few approaches, all of which present some tricky challenges.  It tests your mission design, vehicle design, and vehicle operation skills, and also your physical and mental endurance.  But because it's about actively driving a vehicle the whole time, you really get the "you are there" experience more than normal when you play KSP, and thus the feelings upon success or failure are more intense.  Plus, you really get to see some interesting sights.  And something strange is sure to happen along the way
