Daman453 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I was thinking, could we light up the dark side of the Mun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parallax Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 dark side as in the one facing away from kerbin, or dark side as in the side currently not illuminated by the sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveofDefeat Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The entirety of the mun receives sunlight so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishInferno Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 All sides of the Mun are lit up by sunlight at one time or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihtoit Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I was thinking, could we light up the dark side of the Mun?I think you meant the (permanently) dark side of Moho, since that's the only body in the Kerbol system which is tidally locked to Kerbol?And no, ya can't use that. That one's mine. (you'd have a problem getting a geostationary orbit around Moho, too, unless you sent up two shepherd satellites; one in front and one behind, in which case you'd be looking at a minimum distance of 11206km on PRECISELY the same orbital track and even then, you'd have a strip at the "midnight" line still in permanent darkness).

DisarmingBaton5 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Done!Sarcasm aside, you may want to look at the challenge guidelines, OP. This would not be possible without:-Tidally locking Mun to Kerbol-Editing to allow infinite number of light sources-Editing to allow large render distance-An awesome PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Ron Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Like the Earth's moon, are there craters at Mun's pole that are constantly in shadow that could qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Daman453, I'm afraid that this does not meet several points of the challenge guidelines. Among other issues, you haven't specified the means of determining a winner, and I suspect your goal is not possible at all because nothing, including light sources, is actively simulated farther away than a 2.25km radius. Please give the idea some thought and decide whether or not you'd like to re-submit it, but for the moment, this thread will be closed.
