Are you kidding？ Test TT18-A launch stability enhancer at moon.

[a8202286]

How do I suppose to do this?

[KasperVld]

This is a confirmed bug

[LameLefty]

That's so preposterous, it's genius! I so wish it were possible to actually do this.

Like the one I got to test landing gear while on an escape trajectory out of the Kerbin system. That was so pointless that it was actually fun to do.

[Felsmak]

You're just not trying hard enough.

[tjsnh]

I think you just found the "final boss" of KSP.

[Felsmak]

You could probably accomplish that through save file editing, though. The launch clamps will follow your craft into space, and you will be free to land it on the Mun and complete the mission.

Any of you guys get the rescue a kerbal in orbit mission when you only have a one man pod unlocked?

[BagelRabbit]

I don't see what the problem is. I've flown plenty of Launch Stability Enhancers into space before.

Landing one on the Mun, though, would be a little trickier. Especially when the enhancer hasn't been activated yet.

Challenge accepted.

Though I doubt any good will come out of this, as it's technically impossible.

[Zzabur]

I guess it's possible to do the mission using extraplanetary launchpad mod....or try to get launch clamps about 12 000km long:confused:

[Richy teh space man]

You could hyperedit the Mun into an orbit that's inside Kerbins atmosphere. There might be a slight difference in relative velocity though..

Just use two pods.

Yup. Just stack a second command pod on top of your main one.

[dryer_lint]

If you have the Stayputnik, you can put it on top of the command pod. It looks nice.

Wouldn't it be easier to hyperedit a launch clamp to the mun?

I have a pretty neat design of automated rescue/one man transport vehicles.

Basically an ICBM guided by a probe core and a kerbal instead of the warhead.

[Disiuze]

Launch clamps are automatically deleted/broken by warping with HyperEdit.

[HarvesteR]

I wouldn't go as far as calling this a bug, although it is a pretty impossible proposition. This is why we also have a 'decline' button...

Actually, the impossibleness of the proposal is by no means unrealistic... if you ever worked in software development, you'll know that sort of request is actually pretty mild, considering...

Cheers

[Richy teh space man]

Wouldn't it be easier to hyperedit a launch clamp to the mun?

Yeah, but where's the fun in that?

[Sirrobert]

That's just the result of randomizing things.

It wouldn't hurt to add the launchclamp to a list of things that can only be requiested in certain conditions (and not in others) offcourse

[Cerberus738]

But declining makes me feel like less of a man! I prefer catastrophic failure

So even the man himself says it's not a bug.... I'm going to build the biggest, ugliest ship and drag one off the launch pad. Can 1 clamp hold the ship down or will it just break eventually?

[Aggregat@13681]

They should give more money/science points for that, otherwise interesting challenge

[cpast]

Something will break, but it's not necessarily going to be the connection between clamp and ground.

[Tuareg]

well, this request came from kerbals, didnt? im not surprised. decline and move on

[Caelib]

Maybe the game is trying to tell you to create a Mun base

[Tuareg]

ahhh, its just the same as some request here on the forum lol. the revenge of SQUAD
