Misread Challenges Entries

[MikeBenton]

I read it as Single Stage To Kerbin Escape (it was actually Kerbol) so I got all proud and made stuff and then... I realized my err. Here's the original challenge

I thought it'd be fun to have misread challenge entries in a thread, over time it'll get funnier.

1 - Stayputnik Mk 1 - Level 1 = 1 point

If it's any consolation I made the same exact mistake, and my craft cost 16 points!

16 points! What were you using?

I bet you could use gravity assists to get that on an escape trajectory from Kerbol

Edit: although I guess you'd need some power then.
