okay, but... what does qualify an entry as better than the others? how does one win this challenge?

[SecondGuessing]

If you're allowed to use as much RCS as you like then this is going to be incredibly easy. Although even without RCS it'd be easy if you used a capsule with high torque.

[bulletrhli]

Please read the challenge rules.

[skykooler]

Please note that it is really easy to stop rotation even without SAS - you just need to warp up to 5x and back down. I suggest you add a rule that you must not be rotating before warping.

Um, this isn't hard, I do this every time I go to Minmus or the Mun, it doesn't even need any RCS.

A light weight craft is plenty stable enough with just the pod torque to steady it

[lobsterbark]

So... Mechjeb!

[Plur303]

Infinite RCS is pretty ridiculous. I highly suggest removing that from the rules.

[Wait- Was That Important?]

I don't get this challenge, but whatever. Here's me doing this without SAS or RCS fuel.

Stage 1 and fairings separation:

Making orbit:

Docked. Note the lack of RCS tanks on either craft.

Yeah, here we are on the Mun.

Mun's boring, bye bye.

Docking again. No RCS thruster ports or tanks anywhere.

Crew transfer.

Ready to go back home.

Mission success.

Without clear scoring guidelines, I award myself 4.5 billion points.

However, seeing how I went to the Mun instead of Minmus, I furthermore detract 4.49981 billion points from my score.

Thus, my score stands at 190,000 points. Beat that, fellows.

[Designer225]

Holy cap... You gave your self too much points. I would subtract 189,000 points from your exising record, so 1000.

I'll try it on LKO someday.

[Wait- Was That Important?]

I'm proud of my entry, regardless.

[Merinsan]

I accidentally did this once before, when I forgot to add ASAS to my ship. It was more of an annoyance than difficult.

[Yuri Kargarin]

When I first played I didn't know about ASAS/SAS so up until .17 I was playing with no ASAS/SAS It was such a pain
