KSP Grandmaster! (Land on every body of the Kerbal System!)

[FirstyB]

Finally got a kerbal on every planet and moon, heres all the publicity still. From the inside out:

Moho

Eve

Gilly

Kerbin

Mun (with prototype flying rover)

Minmus (with solar panels knocked off. Prototype flying rover need some adjusting...)

Duna

Ike

Dres (with a 7 part ship)

Jool's Moons

Laythe (parachute landing, way to close to the water for my liking...

Vall

Tylo (had to use an emergency abort plan, but still managed to get Jeb down in one piece )

Bop (RELEASE THE KRA.. oh.. wait.... Who forgot to feed the Kraken?)

Pol

Eeloo

Heres a couple of snapshot of the tracking station, since alot of these photos contain jut sky and a bit of ground...

Don't drink and fly kids

When you're on a two year misson to Eeloo, sometimes you just gotta sit back and enjoy the ride.

Total mission time: 13 years, 236 days. Tylo and Moho, you are a pain in my butt... Seems like it took forever to complete, now to launch the rescue missions to save all those stranded Kerbals

I'm currently doing a GRAND TOUR of all the planets with one ship (and refuellers), progress is currently documented in my blog. I will post here when I'm done though!

[zekes]

wow nice Firsty B!

Calculus Warrior that sounds exciting! Can't wait to see it!

[FirstyB]

I'm getting that awful feeling of 'now what?'..

Space station it is!!

[Flixxbeatz]

Will be doing this some time from now. Since return trips aren't necessary, might as well plant a flag on each landable heavenly body by permanently sending a kerbal each. If other landings can be counted, then I already got Eve, Kerbin, Mun, Minmus, and Duna on my belt. 5 down, 10 to go

The realest challenges that I can see here are Vall and Tylo, especially TYLO. All except these two (Vall - possibly, Tylo - totally not, if your lander isn't big and powerful enough) are landable using the single design method (just strap some chutes in there on places with atmosphere).

Congratulations FirstyB!

[Giggleplex777]

I have landed on every planet and moon except for Bop and Pol.

[zekes]

nice! But they shouldbe easy, no?

[Giggleplex777]

nice! But they shouldbe easy, no?

Planning on landing on them with the orbiter I used for a Tylo landing which is currently orbiting Tylo (the intrepid crew of the Tylo lander failed to return to orbit).

Minus the lander.

Here's my entry:

Eve:

An oblivious Kerbal on Gilly:

A Laythe landing, rescue mission to follow:

My second Eeloo landing, back when it was first added:

A somewhat successful Bop landing (which had to be rescued):

One of many Minmus landings:

A Vall landing (which needed to be rescued):

A rover landed on the Mun:

A Kerbal happy to finally get to Moho:

A Pol landing that actually got home on its own:

A Kerbal on Kerbin, glad to be back home:

A Dres landing (I missed the canyon, sadly):

A one-way Tylo landing:

One of many Duna landings:

An Ike landing:

Note: Some of these are older, but the only one that uses anything different than the current version is the Eeloo landing, which uses the old aerospikes.

Hey how did you get that Transfer stage into orbit with the NERVA sticking out the back? Did you have it upside down?

Also TheDarkStar you get the title Grandmaster! Nice!

Mechjeb does still require a case with jebs artificial brain in it.

[zekes]

nice job! added you!

[Francesco]

hey KasperVld, those are not stock parts! :P

[KasperVld]

Oh, you're right. I had a few KSPX batteries on the probes, never even noticed, heh. I'll wait what Zekes says but basicly all they do is add weight

[Francesco]

KSPX yes, but actually I was referring to the FL-T100 fuel tank.

that thing is soooo useful on small probes, I want it to be added to stock parts badly, or I hope zekes will let it slide

[-RanZ-]

I did this prior to the forum wipe, I will try to dig up my screen shots

[zekes]

mmm, well, if they are the same thing as a few Batteries slapped together then i'm fine with it. If they have some kind of cheat (like better power to weight ratio) than no.

Basically if they don't make it unfair im okay with it.

[m1xte]

Ill bumb this because its a good challenge.

I started playing 20.2 without mods and made a flag run.

Rest here.

I am just about to start this challenge, and I just want to know - am I allowed to use MechJeb during construction, that is, I take all MechJeb modules off before launch? Or should I just go get Kerbal Engineer Redux? Or is that forbidden as well?

[Captain Sierra]

Can I do a 1-up of this by running the grand tour and then claim place as a grandmaster?

[zekes]

wasmic, no mechjeb. must do this stock.

Captian Sierra, yes you can
