DUNA DIRECT! CHALLENGE (Mars Direct Style)

[AngelLestat]

Kerbals wants to go Duna, but they have serious concern about it.

They had low budget and they will need some kind of artificial gravity (Becouse Jebediah said without that it will be difficult to pee )

Therefore your mission if you choose to accept it, is to sent four Kerbals to duna and back. You can not mount anything in orbit, all the thing that you need must be launched from kerbin using 2 rockets with certain time frame of delay choosen by you.

You will need a previous unmanned mission to start gatherer fuel and resources from Duna that it will serve like support and return vehicle to Kerbin.

Then the second launch will sent kerbals with at least 1/3g. Then go back to Kerbin.

Here you have more details of the plan done it by Zubrin Kerbal in the next 5 min of this video.

WATCH MARS DIRECT VIDEO 5 Mins.

Difficulty levels:

Level 1: Find a way to produce 1/3g making spin 2 bodies with a cable (accelerometer needed)

Level 2: Make the full mission without mass restrictions, some parts can be broken in the trip.
