Challenge: Heaviest Mun Rocket UPDATED


Recommended Posts

Okay, here is my challenge to all of you. The biggest, heaviest Mun Rocket Possible.

UPDATE: The Epthelyn Extension: Your Mun Lander Must Weigh No Less Than 1500 Tons in Mun Gravity On the Mun.

Rules:

1. Must be a Rocket.

2. Must Weigh at LEAST 1,500 TONS.

3. Must be able to SUCCESSFULLY launch w/out use of ANY CHEAT.

4. Must be able to attain a LAUNCHING ORBIT of NO LESS than 3000 KM.

5. Must be able to safely land, EVA and LAUNCH AGAIN from the Mun.

6. Must be able to RETURN TO a SAFE landing on Kerbin.

7. Mods: If you have them, use them if you like, if you DONT have them, go all stock, in other words: use what you have part wise :)

8. Pictures are a MUST!

here is me:

Wouldn't it be more of a challenge to have the heaviest Mun rocket on the Mun? It's very easy to augment pad mass simply by adding additional stages which have no relevance to the task at all; I could make a 20 kiloton rocket* and stage 19kT within the first few seconds, then take the remaining kT as a rocket to the Mun and back. I would have achieved what you asked for without really putting in any effort.

*It's worth pointing out that 20kT, even with ARM 3.75m parts, is a seriously big rocket :P
