The Jool Five Challenge

[Stargate525]

Here's one for you guys. This is a race, a race to Jool. More specifically, it's moons. Begin a new save, and shoot for the big green guy. First one to plant a flag on all five moons wins! The premise is simple and readily doable (ergo, I won't immediately be posting an attempt of my own).

The Rules:

-Start a NEW SAVE. Time is based on the how far from Year 0, day 0 you are. So, it's really in your best interests to do that anyway. There are two leaderboards: one for sandbox and one for career. If you choose the latter... good luck.

-No autopilots of any sort (mechjeb, etc.).

-No mods which add or alter propulsion sources or fuel. This includes Kethane, near future propulsion pack, and interstellar.

-Any mods which add information (Kerbal Engineer, protractor), as well as utility mods not directly related to thrust (KAS, fairings, etc.) are fair game. Please list any mods used!

-No debugs/console/cheats, and no obviously cheaty mods (making every part weigh .05, for example).

-Kerbals need not be returned, and this need not be done in one mission.

-In order to be scored, provide at least 1 screenshot of your tracking station, listing all of your flags. You must have one at each Joolian moon visible in the list. More pics are always better! If you've done career mode, please also provide a screenshot of your tech screen at the time of the last flag being planted.

The Scoring:

Everyone begins with 1000 points. A point is deducted for every day past 0,0 your last flag is planted. Real simple.

Bonus points! You need to provide sufficient screenshot proof to convince me in order to get these.

Use the same kerbal to plant all five flags: +50 points

No docking: +60 points

Plant all flags from one launch: +100 points

Bring the entire crew home: +200 points

No NERVAs: +250 points

Hmm.... This seems interesting. I have been doing a lot of missions to the Jool moons and have wanted to do an all-in-one for awhile now.

No docking: +60 points

Will it count as docking if i have half the ship go down to Tylo (lander) lets say and then when it reaches back to orbit can i have the kerbal jump out and EVA back to the main ship and discard the lander? No technical docking at all.

To clarify to others because i had to google it a NERVA means the atomic rocket

Someone alterady beat you to it.

It doesn't HAVE to be an all-in-one. If you wanted to, you could launch five rockets one after the other in the same window. And by no docking, I mean no docking. EVAs aren't docking! Though KAS is...

Someone alterady beat you to it.

That one requires a return, mine does not.

That one requires a single mission, mine does not.

That one doesn't care about time, mine is a speedrun.

It's an unfortunately similar name, which annoys me because I can't change it... But other than that and the goal is Jool, they're entirely different.
