Land, Sea and Air!

[blackcap76]

I am not sure if this has been put forth as a challenge so I figured I would post the idea anyways to see if it generates any interest. I have attempted this myself using stock parts and have come really close to being able land in water using VTOL and no parachutes. Since I have not successfully landed in water yet I have not attempted a water rescue.

The Challenge:

Launch four(4) kerbal's in random directions and land them safely on Kerban. Then, build a rescue vehicle that can venture out and bring back all four(4) Kerbal Astronauts. Mods are allowed but there is a bonus if you can do it without.

Requirements:

- Must have controlled flight capabilities. (5 points)

- Must be able to land and takeoff in water. (20 points)

- Must be able to be driven on land similar to a car, rover, etc. (10 points)

- Rescue two(2) Astronauts from land (Two separate locations, at least 1000m apart) (20 points)

- Rescue two(2) Astronauts from water (Two separate locations, at least 1000m apart) (40 points)

- Must be able to return all Kerbal's safely to the Space Center. (20 points)

Bonuses:

- Rescued all in single trip. (20 points)

- Used stock parts only, no Mods. (50 points)

- Look Ma, No parachutes! (20 points)

Questions, comments and feedback are always welcome.

Thanks and have fun!

Oooh, excellent! Will be hitting this up today after work... main difficulty is landing in water without parachuting 0_o

It is just a bonus for not using a parachute. But yes, it is a challenge to slow yourself down enough to land on water.
