That was unexpected.

The ramp is from IKEA and we lost the imbus key . . .

That's a DNF for Master Blaster.

Next up: Team Booster Bucket, 4 sepratrons, 2 chutes.

What?  You can't DNF a guy for a failure of the course?   Protest for Redress!

We did look into that, the video clearly shows Master Blaster's left wheel is missing the ramp, so we see it as a driver error.

Protest overruled.

"A run up? Who needs that"

Hahahahaha booster bucket 

“full speed ahead” errr.  Spin and fly

[Triop]

Panic Attack has a special place in my heart, it was my first rat rod.

6 sepratrons in 3 stages, 4 chutes.

Will they brake the record ?

Or will they crash on the ramp ?

Break the record. I’d suggest the driver might activate the rockets right as they are on the ramp. Slower approach mooaaarrrr power in the sky

Thanks for giving it a go, it would go faster if I had two more rockets on it. 

I figured it would get up to almost 200m/s with only 239m/s dv. Pulling about 6g for 6 seconds. 

HOW!!! That thing is fast as h*ck!

[Barzon]

not as fast as me. 23km/s!

[Triop]

You'll have to wait for Panic Attack's jump, we are having some technical problems with the quarterpipe and we've send it back to Sweden.

That gives us time to go climb the highest mountain on kerbin with the El Kamino.

R&D worked hard and came up with this:

*Oops*

AGAIN !

Is it bad that I read that in @ShadowZone's voice?

Nope, I'm a big fan of him myself.

19 minutes into flight and we are not even halfway, no way we are going to make it.

We are flying too low and use too much fuel.

Also the drag is not helping . . .

TBC

[Triop]

200 fuel left, we can not cross the sea here, we have to land.

Not going to give up now, let's rebuild our Elcano tanker jet.

Holding 3540 fuel . . .Will it fly ?

Yes it flies, it flies better than expected, good news.

Hold on Jeb, we are coming !

TBC

[Triop]

We did some minor adjustments and we are ready to go:

3 minutes after take off and we are already flying at 25,000 meters.

9 minutes and we reached Jeb.

11 minutes, touch down.

14 minutes, ready for refueling.

I love this new tanker.

Step one: Add connector:

Step two: Link fuel hose:

Step three: Pump fuel:

Step four: Done.

Will the tanker have enough fuel left to return home ?

TBC

 

[Triop]

" Goodbye Jeb, goodluck ! "

Flame out . . .

Home !

Lots of fuel left, cool.

Time to get a Hot Dog.

Next up, fly Jeb to mount Kraken.

TBC

 

[Triop]

Off to mount Kraken !

This is a brick to fly, terrible....And it sucks fuel like a

Will me make it ?

Fun fact, since we are so close to the northpole, Kerbin seems to spin faster, I have to correct my navigation to the right almost constantly.

TBC

[Triop]

Now that we are light, flying goes much better.

There she is...Mount Kraken.

Now I need to land at night, I hate landing in the dark . . .

TBC

[Triop]

Isn't she beautiful...And scary . . .

Falling like a brick, coming in HOT !

Touchdown.

Look at te size of that thing . . .

First daylight, ready to take on the first part.

I'm not sure I'm going to make it, but we'll see.

I found a video by @ShadowZone, the last part is going to be hard....

TBC

[Triop]

Already we are slipping and we even haven't seen steep hills yet . . . Next part will be hard, I guess I have to zig-zag my way up and make sure I don't run out of electricity half way.

TBC

[Triop]

An impression of what it's like up there:

I had to stop to charge my batteries.

Next up = UP !

The stock wheels might not have enough torque to get up a steeper slope. Might want to do some wheel config tweaking to get the wheels to put up higher numbers from 0m/s -10m/s
