Doesn't seem like a good challenge. It seems more about how many launches your willing to do

The amount of launches you do doesn't matter. In fact, you could finish the initial challenge in one launch if you were willing to.

Wow, I was just getting ready to do this my self for kicks. All components are already tested and in orbit waiting for the right Duna phase angle. I tried to do everything as close as possible to the concept images from http://www.mars-one.com/ although I wasn't going to wait a year between every launch as their mission plan calls for. I even assembled the Transit Vehicle in orbit from 4 modules. I had planned on making this challenge eventually but I'm pretty slow so it is no surprise you beat me to it. I first started this project like 2 months ago. Currently my Transit vehicle is on a test drive around the moon. This is my first post, btw, after lurking for some time now.

You get bonus points for doing this from scratch in a brand new career mode save. Every science point you earn from doing research ON DUNA is worth 1 point each. Decimals don't count.

This isn't exactly what one would call the most successful Duna landing, but hey, atleast my ship came down in one piece. _{except for the solar panels...}
