Challenge: Reusability Extreme
Due to the cost-effectiveness of private aerospace, the Forum has had its budget slashed and such arguments as “If SpaceZ can do it for 50 times cheaper, why even bother?” have been thrown around. Therefore, we have decided that to remain competitive, we must develop our own fully reusable launch system, and do something spectacular with it.
Normal Mode:
Land a fully reusable rocket on The Moon and return with less than 30 parts.
Hard Mode:
Land a fully reusable rocket on Mars and return with less than 20 parts. (must include capsule)
Super Mode:
Impress me.
The Rules:
- No Dirty Cheating Alpacas (no using sandbox cheats or bugs).
- The UI must be visible in all mandatory screenshots.
- The craft must be a rocket (i.e. only rocket engines can be used to produce thrust).
- Every part attached to the rocket when the flight begins must be recovered.
- No part on the rocket may be destroyed at any point. this does not include fairing pieces.
- No parts or mods that affect your in-game ability.
- Your rocket must be launched from the launch pad on Earth.
- No Bp editing (in-game part clipping is fine)
Required Screenshots:
- Your rocket in the Build menu with the part count visible
- Your rocket on the launch pad.
- Any point on your rocket’s ascent.
- Map view of your orbit of Earth.
- Map view of your transfer orbit around Earth.
- Map view of your flyby of the destination.
- Map view of you orbiting your destination.
- Your craft landed at your destination.
- Any point of your craft’s ascent from your destination.
- Map view of your craft’s orbit around your destination.
- Map view of your transfer orbit back to Earth at the destination.-
Your craft landed on Earth.
You can make a video, just be sure to upload it and post it here on time.
