Capturing an E size Asteroid!

[MysticPing]

So, 0.23.5 can be expected soonâ„¢. I thought i could make this challange early. If this is against the rules, then please remove this thread

Rules:

Only stock, no use of the f12 menu.

Take a screenshot as proof

Challange:

Challange #1

Slow down a E size Asteroid into a stable orbit.

Challange #2

Fly the Asteroid to Minmus or the Mun (good luck)

Challange #3

Land it on the minmus or Mun and get it into orbit again (If you do this, wow)

Optional Challanges:

Take it to other planets.

Build a station on it (Make it pretty)

Finding an E size asteriod in .23.0 will be hard, but I think I can manage it.

I said "So, 0.23.5 can be expected soonâ„¢" But sure go ahead

Ooh, that'll be a toughie! I'll see what I can do!

(also, not to be "that one guy", but it's challenge, not challange)

1) Launch capture craft to minmus orbit and refuel it.

2) Track an asteroid that passes fairly close to minmus (no encounter needed)

3) intercept and claw the asteroid

4) Adjust the asteroid's post- slingshot orbit into a harmonic of Kerbins (set to Kerbal time and aim for a whole number of years for orbit)

5) Timewarp for 3-4 years until the next kerbin encounter

Sometime during the timewarp, fine tune the orbit so you get a Mun encounter

6)use a slingshot around the mun to capture around kerbin.

Step 1: Don't.

Step 2: If you must, build an SLS with a probe with about 5 poodles

Step 3: Claw in Kerbin orbit and burn like there's no tomorrow.

Step 4: Go and change your underwear.

Step 5: Dock a pusher to it. Push it to Minmus.

Step 6: Go nuts.

Ok, here's my plan

1. Dock/Claw a few dozen booster ships with really big engines directly to the asteroid (all in the same hemisphere).

2. Attach all ships together via KAS attachments

3. Aim for land that is near sea level, and wait to do a 15-20 second suicide burn.

4. Use Throttle Control Avionics to even out the thrusting and come in nice and controlled.

#1:

1. Start new game
   
2. Track size E asteroid
   
3. Send unmanned probe equipped with the Claw
   
4. Grab the asteroid
   
5. Check its mass in Map view
   
6. Build an Asteroid Capture Vehicle with enough delta-v to a) catch up to an equivalent sized asteroid and slow it down inside Kerbin's SOI (my guess: 500+ m/s for this step alone)
   
7. Track size E asteroid crossing Kerbin's SOI
   
8. Rendezvous, match speed, grab it, slow it down to stable orbit
   
9. Send manned mission to do science

9. Send manned mission to do science

Lets crash/land it just outside the R&D building at KSC (no, not on the roof plz). It will be easier to study it...

extra challenges

land it in Kerbin

land it at KSC
