no cheating (part clipping ok)

land on ALL bodies

you only need to stay on a planet long enough to:

-not fall over

-get out

-plant a flag

-get back in

one craft must do the entire tour.

(if you detach a lander, land and reattach it later, that's ok)

(the two craft must be in the same SOI)

screenshots required at points:

pre-launch

liftoff

on atmospheric exit

when stable orbit is reached (in map);show PE

the following only apply if you dock: {

when within 100m of craft to dock with

lined up to dock

post-dock

}

(i will be fairly leniant with this)

if you post more thats awesome!

if you make a video thats even more awesome!

kethane

any and all warp drive mods

30 ton grand tour? You do realize that the only thing possible is fly-bys right?

30T in orbit could do a fly-by grand tour. 30T on the launch pad? Even air-hogging, I don't think so.

lol, I was thinking of doing a grand tour and limited myself to about 80T(max 100T).... That's payload not rocket...... and I would need 5 maybe 6 of them. :-P A grand tour challenge in it's self some one should host a grand tour challenge the same way Ziv hosted the Jool-5 challenge.
