Very highly recommended. This flying brick took advantage of a per-kerbal bonus.

 

Yes, yes it did

My attempt. I'm going to tally up what the score would be if my Xbox was working correctly.

Eject over mach 1 (340 m/s) +100 points
Eject more than one Kerbal +10 points

+39 points for extra Kerbals 

+5 points for addition

154 points total

Nowhere close to the top, but I'm new to challenges, and I've got to start somewhere!

Video proof: 

 

Did you make this video on Xbox?

I bought my Xbox before my Macbook, and therefore purchased KSP on the Xbox. I didn't use the Xbox's built-in capturing equipment, I instead used an Elgato capture card, so that I could easily import my footage to my computer. So, to sum it up, yes, I used Xbox to provide the footage, but edited the final product on my computer.

That was the exact information I was looking for, thanks!

Due to the glitchyness of the Xbox version of the game, I have been unable to get every kerbal in a chair. Could I still get some credit if I used a single kerbal, but showcased the other seats, proving they're there?

A kerbal in or out of a command seat weighs 0.09375 Tonnes (93.75 kg) For 15 kerbals that's 1.40625 t. And that means since you left out those other 14 kerbals you flew with 1.3125 tonnes less than you would have done with the kerbals.  

(That's a 93.33% Kerbal mass decrease.)

So I'm disqualified. Whatever, I enjoyed making my entry anyway. Because that's what we bought KSP for: enjoyment!

2 kerbal pod ejected at 1100 m/s or so.

Also, kudos on a fairly well designed challenge!

 

Wait.... this is invalid (Kerbals must be in a command seat...)

Hey just a quick question (off-topic); what visual mod(s) do you use? I love the lighting on Kerbin!

EVE and Scatterer. Hope that helps!

I agree. Competition doesn't matter as long as you have fun.

Hah yeah, I didn't recognise the visuals as I have (the RSS modified) EVE and scatterer on my RSS install, and I had Astronomer's visual pack installed for stock until I saw your screenshots. Now I immediately switched!

I had a ejector seat laying around from another thing I was doing, so I designed an craft to do the challenge.

Circularized at 69,661 X 69,833

Ejecting @ 2296 m/s

Re-enrty

Landed safely

Ship re-entering

Ship landed

Should be good for 400 points.

Sorry I'm late.

I think I got points for surviving the ejection and landing derrum kerman safely.

And I also got some for landing the modified Mallard Jet, which is my B-1B Lancer pretty much, on an island.

Here's the video link
