[Spoilers] The Interstellar Docking Challange

[peachoftree]

This challenge contains spoilers from the movie Intersteller. By opening the spoilers below you accept the terms and conditions and agree not to complain about said spoilers of which you have been forewarned

Your challenge is to dock two vessels that are spinning. Simple enough right? Nope. The Kendurance has suffered an airlock failure, initialing a rapid spin and somehow placing it on an aerobrakeing trajectory (whether or not you hit the ground is up to you). Luckily, STS-302 was en route course and has been redirected to evacuate the surviving crew and save the station!

Rules:

Pe has to be inside the atmosphere

docking does not have to be inside the atmosphere, but does have to happen while the Pe is in the atmosphere

the Kendurance has to be spinning during docking

you cannot control / use sas on the Kendurance until it

you may not align docking ports before the spin is started

Mods are o.k except for mechjeb

Scoring (lower is better):

start with your semimajor axis (average between Pe and Ap) in Kilometers, rounded to the nearest integer

-5 for video with dramatic music

-20 for a Kendurance that looks like the Endurance (it just jas to be a ring station to count)

-30 if STS-302 that looks like the shuttle thing

-50 for active vessel that uses a dorsal or ventral docking port (its on the top or bottom)

-5 for each Km your Pe is in the atmosphere, rounded to the nearest integer

-20 if you avert reentry after docking with the Endurance (only use the shuttles engines for this)

-10 if your ship does not die (you only have to dock for this challenge)

-70 if the docking takes place in the second highest tier on the atmosphere indicator

-30 if it takes place in the highest tier

+10 if it does not take place in the atmosphere

+time it takes you to dock in minuets * 2 (take a screen before and after docking showing your time in the top left)

scoreboard:

1.

The challenge was up in this forum for a few days I'm building the Endurance myself to do it
