Jebediah Corliss Kerman...Grinding the Crack Challenge

[inigma]

Any .25 takers?

Anyone else up for a thrill?

Dear Mr Inigma,

Make an original and fun challenge, please. You basically took your lowest orbit challenge and changed 2 things. The 2 things are, it's a space station, and 2, it's anywhere. Make it more orignal please. Also, this is quite easy, just fly a space station around the Mun and make the orbit at 5km. That being said, I hope you have a wonderful day.

Sincerely,

Kaboom!

Huh?

Have you seen this?

His thrill factor is awesome! Can you beat it? Even with a 5km orbit? This isn't a challenge about just a station. And it's not 5km. It's a lithokissing ballet. How thrilling can you make a grind?

18km/s getting less then 1km over the surface at Mercury in RSS. When you fly by Mercury this fast call me.

Could not agree more, that's a great run! Thanks for posting this, it explains the spirit of this challenge very well. I hope to get to it when I'm done fooling with rovers.

Reposting this, since it's a GREAT challenge. And only one person currently holds the title after nearly a decade.

Grinding the biggest Crack of them all... Unfortunately it appears to be very hard to approach the bottom of the Dres canyon in a stable orbit, so the minimum altitude of about 60 meters above ground level is reached quite a bit before entering the canyon.
