Astrophobia - The Kerbals are afraid to go into space!

[T Eaux]

Astrophobia is the irrational fear of space.  For this challenge, you must play science or career mode without your Kerbals ever leaving the atmosphere.  Check out this video for ideas:

One question I can't send astronauts into space, but satellites can?

[Watermel00n]

Yes

[Scarecrow71]

What is the objective of the challenge?  Upgrade all buildings?  Max out the tech tree?

Real hard to max out the tech tree without leaving Kerbin.  It takes 1188 science points just to max out Tier V, and it would be damned impressive if someone managed to get that far without leaving the atmosphere.  Now, it could be done with contracts...but that is one serious grind.

With all of that said , the OP hasn't logged on 2 weeks.  So I doubt this is going anywhere.

Thats not actually stated in the challenge rules, though.  Again, the OP hasn't logged on in 2 weeks, and it would be nice if they would come back and clarify things.

I did exactly that for my Caveman challenge. Was fun to go hunt for all the "splased <biome>" science on Kerbin:

The OP clearly states "without your Kerbals ever leaving the atmosphere". That seems clear enough to me: uncrewed spaceflight allowed, crewed spaceflight disallowed.

So are we going to have to be a unmanned space agency? (also I doubt Kerbals can be scared of space but well... that's beside the point)

Use the mobile processing  lab.

I have finished the challenge. To finish it I used a rover, and drove around to every ksc building multiple times, then after that I would put the science in a  science lab attached to a hot air balloon using the mod "Coldj Hot Air Balloons"
