The Real Space Race!

[cantorobriar]

Now I know this idea may have come up before, but it probably wasn't this hard, and it probably didn't require two people. (Also, I'm not new to KSP. My friend and I did this and decided to post the idea on the forums.)

Anyways, the point of the Space Race is to re-do the actual space race. One person is the U.S., and the other is the U.S.S.R. Then do a bit of research (yeah, you actually have to go to that thing called Google and use something called a keyboard) on the NASA and Russian Space Program Missions. The U.S. player attempts to recreate -->ALL<-- of the U.S. space missions, all the way back to Explorer 1. The U.S.S.R. does the same, but starts with Sputnik and does the Russian missions. I'm not going to make it that confusing by adding a point system and stuff, just do it. You may download any part packs that you'd like to make it more realistic and try to make them look similar to the original. Of course, I can't restrict you from using MechJeb or anything, so go ahead. Whoever recreates the International Space Station first wins! Post your sucess stories here.

(You can do it alone if you wish, but then it's not much of a "race")

I did a two player space race about a year and a half ago with my friend, to see who could get to the mun. He couldn't get to the Mun and i couldn't land on it, so he lost

Hm... some of the flights would be... interesting to re-create... also, if we were going to COMPLETELY recreate the space race, many failures would have t happen, and wouldn't the US always win? They landed on the Moon first...

A mission pack that both players had to go through each objective and the last one being the moon would be fun.

If you guys want, I'll gladly give you a copy of a space race that me and a friend are doing as part of a competition to see who is the better between us.

Well, insinuating that I'm too stupid to use Google or a keyboard is more than enough reason for me not to do it.

When I said re-create the space race, I didn't mean do EXACTLY in order. Just do the missions as fast as you can. If your fast enought, the U.S.S.R./Russian player may make it to the moon first.

I don't see this as a valid challenge submission. You haven't followed enough of the guidelines while creating your initial post, you leave too much unclear / up to the participants, there's no points system etc etc, you're really just saying "go do this". You CAN restrict people from using specific mods, you CAN post guidelines, you CAN make a list of missions instead of telling people to google. You really haven't put enough work into this to even warrant starting a thread.

With proper guidelines, rules, accomplishments / goals and perhaps even a points system this could be a really fun thing to try.
