OTehNoes Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm pretty sure landing on Jool is nigh on impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souper Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Both of you are wrong, and yes, i have read the rules.Landing on jool IS possible. But you can't spend too much time on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTehNoes Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yeah you can land but your ship will be destroyed. You'd have absolutely no chance of a Kerbin return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Challenge 1: Go to the bottom of eve's oceans and come back to Kerbin.This is impossible. Past a certain point every ship will explode.Challenge 2: Go to the mun and back on carreer 0.23, No mods allowed, And only with the "Start" science node.Definitely doable. Have you tried yourself?Challenge 3: Land on JOOL and return to Kerbin. In one peice. (I've heard this is actually possible.)Have you tried it yourself? I'm pretty sure this was only possible in earlier versions of KSP.Bonus points to the guy w/ the most fuel left (after you decouple the last of the fuel away).Again, it won't be hard at all to get "bonus points", at least under challenges 1 and 3, because there are no parts stipulations. You would do well to think these challenges through and try them yourself. Right now you're just spamming the challenge forums with poorly thought-out ideas.

Kasuha Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 yes, i have read the rules.Okay, you could also try to follow them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihtoit Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Challenge 1: Go to the bottom of eve's oceans and come back to Kerbin.I don't think this is even possible, unless they've fixed the clip Kraken that sends you off at relativistic velocity through Eve if you drop below mean surface.Challenge 2: Go to the mun and back on carreer 0.23, No mods allowed, And only with the "Start" science node.I don't even get what you mean here.Challenge 3: Land on JOOL and return to Kerbin. In one peice. (I've heard this is actually possible.)Last accomplished by Dahud Lefthanded in version 0.20 (video), and he didn't manage to take off again (he EVA'd a Kerbal for terminal approach, its ship was crushed and his Kerbal was stranded with only a flag for company. That Kerbal is not ever going home). That said, Jool does not officially have a surface. Edited February 26, 2014 by ihtoit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pds314 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Jool return from datum in stock would take something like 22 km/s of delta-v. No nukes.Using lots of stages and appropriate numbers of aerospikes, the best one could hope for is something like 1 tonne to orbit for every 1250 tonnes ASL.

Bobnova Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Kraken drive maybe? Might be worth a shot, except for that whole explode the moment you touch down bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterExtreme hard, but doable. TechZero decouplers are clumsy.3) You find me the surface of Jool, and I will land on it and takeoff. But first, find me the surface. It doesnt exist! Get low enough, and "My god, its full of stars!"4) Now a challenge for you.. Read the challenge posting rules. Understand the rules. Obey the rules.... In your case, that may be more difficult than your (2) above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaurJR Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Methinks we are being trolled. Four badly thought out challenges that blatantly ignore the guidelines from the same guy on the same day?Come, come, Mr. Bond, you disappoint me...
