Major Kong Challenge

[XiXLLAMAXiX]

Quite simple. Create a rocket and launch it into orbit (or a suborbital trajectory, doesn\'t matter as long as you leave the atmosphere). Then, boost in such a way so that your trajectory will once again take you into the atmosphere. Send out at least one Kerbonaut on an EVA so that the craft is uncontrolled (you can do this any time before you craft re-enters the atmosphere). To complete this challenge, your kerbonaut must be outside the rocket throughout the entire aerobraking procedure. Scoring (for people who are interested in that sort of thing) will be determined by the minimum altitude reached while the kerbonaut is riding the rocket.

Note: in case if I did not make this clear, no adjusting your trajectory once you have entered the atmosphere.

Go go go! =D

Not my video, but this guy wins:

Tried to do it in two attempts:

First attempt:

Obviously Jeb volunteered for this challenge

A problem appears: bomb got stuck between the engines

Jeb saves the day by ramming it with his head!

Unfortunately Jeb slipped off the ladder at the reentry.

He is heartbroken about missed opportunity of riding a bomb.

Second attempt:

I can see my home Kerbal Space center from here!

It\'s showtime!

Surprisingly enough, one of the fuselages survived the impact.

This time the 'pilot' stayed on the bomb till the very end.

There are mere mortals, and then there are people like the author of this video. Wow.

I have noticed however that kerbals have a high impact tolerance. I did a lunar descent with bob on the outside of the craft, and accidentally crashed at 60m/s. Bob was the only thing that survived. He is still there.

Wow, that guy does win. I can\'t even get a space plane to fly under the best of situations, let alone with the pilot outside of the craft steering by jumping on the wings.

Well done sir! Just like the movie! =D
