Kerb-cannon Orbital Challenge!


Recommended Posts

Objective

The objective of this challenge is to make a cannon that can send a Kerbal out of the atmosphere and successfully make an orbit that is as high as possible with the Kerbal. You are allowed to use any parts you like. Mods are allowed.

The Rules

There's only the two, so it should be pretty simple to follow them.

Debug menu use is allowed but limited.

You are only allowed to turn off crash damage, clipping parts, joint breaking and turn on infinite fuel. Should you use it for any other reason, you will be disqualified.

Evidence must be given.

Whether it be images or video, there has to be evidence that you actually completed the challenge. (I suggest orbital map pictures.)

This is impossible. First off, getting an orbit from a "single shot" of the planet is impossible, because the orbit will always come back at the point on the planet, you'll need to make corrections in space.

Secondly, drag makes it impossible to get enough speed on the ground to make it into space, the physics engine breaks before you do, I know, because I tried.
