Space jump

[Pugspaceprogram]

I assume many of you kerbonauts saw the space jump right?

Well i want you to recreate it in kerbal space program!

The challenge has no specific guidelines as to who the winner may be. The images / videos will likely be judged by 5 people and put on a leaderboard.

It is suggested that you get the Hooligan Labs airships mod, so you can use balloons to get to the right height.

It is also suggested that you get the Vanguard Technologies parachute. Both of these can be found in the spaceport.

If the jump if fun, you will get higher mark, even if it is unrealistic. (Hint: For maximum fun, jump into Jool on X4 timewarp!)

Heres the rules:

You CAN have mods that allow you to change the game physics.

For maximum realism, only one man pods are allowed.

If a Soyuz rocket flys past or a space station passes overhead in the background, you will almost instantly by put on the leaderboard.

If you are at an incorrect height (any more than 35km and any less than 29km) you will be disqualified, no matter how awesome your jump is.

There may be more added to this but i just want to see how it goes at the moment.

Good luck!

[CalculusWarrior]

All right! This looks like fun; I'm downloading the necessary mods now!

[Pugspaceprogram]

I added something extra on the list, about the jump being fun. There is also a hint there. Good luck!

There we go, here's my effort. It's not a Felix Baumgartner style jump, but I had fun nonetheless.

Felix Baumgartner jumps are ridiculously easy to do in KSP.

It takes, like, 5 minutes to do this flawlessly.

Does it count if it's from a station?

[Flixxbeatz]

Danny2462 has already did this a few times already, with one coming from Mun back to Kerbin. Just Danny2462 being 2462

Hmmm. It depends. if the station just happens to be on a sub-orbital track, then sure.

Derp. Didn't read the rules correctly. My bad.

Silly Tw1, you dont need rules!

Oh wait, never mind...

Otherwise, I'd enter Wehrwin's jump as written about on the Vanguard tech thread.

Kerbals are such obedient guys sometimes, the things we get them to do...

Kerbals are obedient. Maybe not Jeb, but that doesn't make him un-badass'd!!!
