Jeb in a Bucket to the Mün and back

[rtxoff]

Task:

The task is simple,start a new career game and bring a sample of the Mün back to Kerbin with only progressed to basic rocketry in the science path.

Rules:

You may use only start and basic rocketry parts from stock ksp parts, only exception is a Mechjeb or any other autopilot/engineering controller.

Mechjeb may be modified to be available from the start. I included the modified part file for download for anyone who can't do it.

Debug menu and any other cheats/exploits are forbidden.

Jebediah must be in the Rocket. (just kidding, put anyone in it but you will have to listen to Jeb's complaints after it )

Winner will be the lightest craft at launch.

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Achievements:

Wernher van Kerbals proud: Finish the challenge with only using starter parts. (Do not know if this is even possible, maybe someone is crazy enough to try)

No match for the brain: Fly without flight computer.

Precision is everything: Finish with landing at the KSC.

Weird flight path: Use only one command capsule.

Orbit is a chewing gum: Finish without ever completing a whole orbit around Kerbin or the Mün.

Good luck anyone with this.

I have done this by myself and it is definitely possible. I will post my flight and design as soon as someone else finishes this.

Does "without flight computer" mean never turning on SAS? Or does it just mean no Mechjeb or similar mods?

[rtxoff]

It means only no Mechjeb or similar mods.

Seems possible... I'll give it a go as soon as I find time...
