EVA orbit and return to Minmus lander

[Sathurn]

While awaiting .21 I have a challenge for you.

Land a Kerbal on Minmus. Without using Mechjeb. No cheating and auto landing on the equator. Then proceed to EVA. During your EVA reach a stable orbit and go around the planet. Now de-orbit and return to your lander. Bonus landing on your feet. Double bonus landing on your lander.

I did it, landed back 3.2km from my lander. I ran out rcs fuel trying to return to the lander. I had to much speed flying back and crash about 1000m short of the lander and slid a little short of 1000m past my lander.

I don't see the point of this challenge: the EVA suit has more than enough delta-v for the job

How does one player fare better than the others? By landing closer to his ship?

You can't really score this. It is just a challenge that you can do. And fairly quickly while you wait for .21. While you do have a enough dv you can't really waste it.

If you really need a score board you could see who has the most rcs fuel when you land back at the lander.
