150 days for impact

[diegzumillo]

NOTE: this is an untested challenge, I haven't beaten it yet. So you may want to wait until I confirm that it is possible. But I can't see why this would be that difficult.

NEWS FLASH: scientists have announced today that the meteorite, named after its discoverer Frederico Kerman Silveira, is headed towards kerbin. Really, we just call it doomsday meteorite. They say the impact should happen within 200 days, unless something is done to prevent it. They say it's very small but made from a material that will explode like several nuclear bombs!

There you go. I made a challenge! I used hyperedit to create this scenario, the meteorite is a bunch of fuel tanks glued together, so it's heavy, but not too big. Making it on collision trajectory with kerbin was hell... harder than beating the challenge, I would bet.

If anyone wants to give it a try, go ahead! anything that prevents Frederico from colliding with kerbin counts as winning. Extra winnings goes to anyone who captures it and leaves it orbiting some planet, the mun or kerbin. Mods are ok, if they are not too cheaty.

Record your mission with screenshots or video

Here's the link for the persistent file:

My suggestion is to create a new game (we don't want to mangle your own game!) and replace the persistent.sfs of this new game with the one above.

without trying to **** on your challenge, this is basically the same thing but on a shorter time scale and with a unique edge

Dang it, I searched for this kind of challenge and found nothing. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll remove this thread.
