Help me find this challenge

[Horn Brain]

I've been looking all over, searching the forums both internally and through Google, and I can't find a challenge I'm pretty sure I saw on here before. I realize that if I knew the right keywords to search for it would be trivial to find if it exists but I don't remember what it was called.

The basic idea was to design something that no one else could get into orbit (they were allowed to add whatever they wanted to add to the craft, but they couldn't break it apart). I think the goal may have been to design the lightest object that was impossible to get to orbit intact.

If anyone can find it, that would be wonderful. If we can't find it, I'd like to try to start it again. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Did you by chance look for my ASTRO (Add Stuff To Reach Orbit) challenge? It still has two unsolved hard problems waiting for creative engineers. Objective is to add a minimum number of parts to a given craft to make it go to orbit.

their was the Eifel tower challenge... I never did get that thing into the air

Thanks! I could not for the life of me remember what it was called. Enjoy your rep.

I think my addition to your rules would make the challenge more attractive. Obviously you can build something that weighs 1000 tons that no one could orbit, but what's the smallest craft that can't be orbited in KSP? In this case, there would be two kinds of winners: 1) The person with the lightest craft that no one has managed to orbit. and 2) the person with the best solution for a given challenge.

Think about it!
