Laythe Jet Challenge

[pikmin2faner]

So when I was mapping Kerbin I noticed the button KerbalPedia, I checked it out

and there was tons of facts there including that The Moon Laythe,

orbiting around Jool, had oxygen on it. So here's my challenge for anyone who has

some spare time.

Get A Plane to Laythe and fly it.

(Although if it may not work please contact me and I'll come up with a new challenge)

Rules:

1. Completely stock. No mods whatsoever.

2. The Plane must be jet powered not rocket powered.

[Please post pictures I'm curious]

i would do this but lag makes it impossible to do anything on kerbin or laythe

EEM jet engines don't work that well in space u know..

Well I did it, but I cheated (fully stock though), used unlimited fuel; took about 40 minutes to capture it, but got around it.

I have a few screenshots but not on my laptop, that said.. it's VERRRRRY hard to fly, anytime I turned on SAS (maybe it's because I was using the big SAS not the airplane sas?) ... it just tossed around etc.

If I weren't using the cheats the craft would've blown up on the surface, lost a wing when it came tumbling down, but you can certainly fly around for sure.

Gravity wise Laythe is about.. kind of in between Kerbin and Mun.

But jet engines certainly work!... but if you really want to fly around you'll need something VERY.. VERY stable.

I will just leave this here. You can easily swap the 50 thruster out for the better jet and it works just as well.

That wasn't so hard, and the jet engine worked fine once I got there.

Sweet. I haven't even attempted this yet, I've only sent a few unmanned mapping/kethane probes with no landing capability.
