Sunbase challenge.

[Omegagoldfish]

Some extremely wealthy and vain tourists have demanded that they be able to sunbathe at a space station. Being tired of dealing with complaints, you decided to make them literally sunbathe.

 

RULES: Stock parts only, (mechjeb is allowed, however)

You have to have at least ten Kerbals in command chairs "outside" the station, facing the Sun.

You have to be close enough for EVA reports to say "in space near the Sun".

The closer you are to Kerbol, or the Sun, or Sol, the better, and the more tourists facing the Sun, the better.

Don't cheat, and try not to abuse bugs.

Other than that, anything and everything is allowed. Video or picture proof is needed, however.

wow too easy

Oh, hah! You can actually sunbathe more literally than you might expect thanks to a cute little glitch in a part's mesh. For those curious, I'll leave these videos here, but I suspect @TheGuyNamedAlan is going to make a proper entry of it soon. That I'm looking forward to seeing!

Incidentally, I've got a standing badge for anyone who enters the chromosphere on a command seat, which may be a nice extension for this challenge.

 

Cheers!
