The Minmus Stronghold Challenge

[Clockwork13]

Rules:

No using HyperEdit, or any other mod that will make it really easy to get to Minmus. In other words, no using mods with boosters or hacking. No using the debug menu either.

No using mods that enhance landing or controlling a vessel. Yes, this includes MechJeb.

The Challenge:

The main challenge here is to make an entire stronghold on Minmus.

Instructions:

The first ship you launch will be the core of the base. All other buildings must be within 5 km of the base core. You must have at least 15 different buildings. You also need a small refueling outpost orbiting Minmus at 11 km or lower. You will need to meet the following requirements to finish:

1 base core

1 base covering all of the science instruments, as well as a large science lab.

1 astronaut complex

1 escape pod

The rest of the buildings can be of your choice, but they must all be different.

Achievements:

Perfect EVA: Go on extreme EVA and land within 100 m of the stronghold. -20 points

Bad choice: Build atleast part of your base on a non-flat area. -40 points

Kerbal Komplex: Have atleast 40 Kerbals on your base. -100 points

Complete Stronghold: Complete the entire stronghold. -100 points

Go for better: Have more than the required amount of buildings in your stronghold. -30 points per building

Red Alert: Evacuate all your Kerbals after you are done with the challenge. -10 points per Kerbal evacuated.

Main Crew: Have Jeb, Bill, and Bob living in your stronghold at the same time. -10 points

Safe landing: Complete the challenge without any landers exploding and killing the Kerbals on board. -90 points

Safer landing: Complete the challenge without anything exploding off of the landers while they are landing. -120 points

Single staged: Get a one-stage rocket to Minmus. -60 points per rocket.

EXTREME EVA REQUIREMENTS: Get into orbit around Minmus at atleast 9,000 meters or higher for both the apoapsis and periapsis. Then return and survive.

See how much points you can score and post it here!

Can you explain extreme EVA more in detail?

Ok, I did that.

Could I build the whole thing in orbit then bring it down?

Well, I guess you could build the ships in order, but the buildings all need to be separated. Besides, it would be really hard to build the entire thing in orbit and bring it down... .-.

I don't think the EVA thing is possible, seeing as the jetpacks' delta V has been nerfed significantly

I've landed and returned by EVA from a 17km Minmus orbit, so the reverse should be possible.

I've done it, and I have completed the reverse too, even though I ended up 36 km away and ended up sending a rescue shuttle.

[Clockwork13]

Doing the reverse is easy, it's landing within 100 meters from your base that is hard.

[fenderzilla]

have you done it since .23 though?
