Colonizing EVE

[Oliver Kerman]

We should start a challenge... Let's see how many people can colonize Eve WITHOUT MODS! RULES: 1. NO MODS 2. YOU MUST HAVE A COLONY OF ATLEAST 10 KERBALS THERE 3. YOU MUST SEND THE KERBALS BACK TO KERBIN 4. YOU MUST SHOW PROOF!      I am doing this in memory of the Reddit Challenges! :)

I literally can’t read this but it sounds fun

Welcome to the forum, @Oliver Kerman.

One of the rules for posting challenges is that you must attempt do it yourself.  Note: that doesn't mean you have to succeed because a 10 kerbal Eve return is a really hard challenge.

Just as a side note: the comic sans font hurts the eyes and offends the hearts of some internet users.

Good luck.

Going to come right out and say that this isn't much of a challenge...returning ten Kerbals from Eve isn't hard if you brute-force it. If there was scoring, or other constraints, or a more stringent definition of "colony" then it might prove more enticing.

Side note: is OP a fan of undertale

[BlockGaming06]

couldn't someone just send a lander for 10 kerbals and return?

I think the kerbals should have a means of returning but this shouldn't dominate this challenge. It is suposed to be a colony after all.

True

Getting the Kerbals there, is no problem.

Building a nice base is only slightly problematic, mainly due to the difficulty of getting docking ports to adhere with greater force than the gravity's bending of everything.

Also longdistance rovers are not very practical. Not when they are portaging base components from miss-dropped landing sites, over mountains and lakes.

 

Supplying them with a mean to get home?  AY CARAMBA!

 

I will be skipping this one, thanks.

Just to clarify...

We have 10 Kerbals on Eve (however they got there) and you want them delivered back to Kerbin (low orbit? surface?) in one (?) flight.

Ok, so you want us to demonstrate a *FAILED* colony of 10 Kerbals to Eve?
