Pick up a Minmus passenger using an orbital craft.

Pretty simple, but kind of challenging; Put a lander on Minmus, put another craft in orbit, then have the landed kerbal fly up to the orbital craft, get in, and return to Kerbin.

I've come very close to doing it on the Mun, but haven't quite been able to do it. I'm making the challenge take place on Minmus because of the reduced gravity.

Something like this? Skip to 1:40 to see the rendezvous part.

Damn I wish I had screenshots of this...

I had a kerbal in a 2200 meter orbit of the mun(EDIT: yes just barely missing the hills), rendezvoused with him in a rescue vehicle and returned him to kerbal. It is at least possible.

Nice! How surreal that would be in real life, to transition from standing to orbiting like that...

I'd like to suggest extra bonus points if you can orbit a craft such that it collides with an EVA Kerbal who's standing on the highest hill in that orbit (Min or Mun).

I managed it, it was surprisingly easy and only took me two tries.

Originally, Munzer and Scott took off from a ice lake base and set up an orbit of 5550 meters (it was still about 300m above than the highest peak it passed over). Munzer then did a descent run and landed back at base after an orbit (I forgot to record this). After refueling his pack at the crew base (see attached), he waited another orbit, and ascended to a successful rendezvous with Scott.

The trick is to start slightly ahead of the orbiting capsule, spending most of the fuel on horizontal speed, and lining up the suborbital trajectory with the orbit. Within about 1k, it becomes possible to steer towards and board the capsule.
