One tank lander

[Slicky spaceship]

You land anywhere (preferably not earth or moon) and after that you can only use 1 tank to get back home and recover

No refueling
No cheating

Challenge- make me proud

So one tank as in only the fuel from one tank?

 

[Horus Lupercal]

Yeah, essentially its a return trip lander mission. Or, how far can away from Earth can you be to get back from the surface of somewhere else on a 90t tank.

Best thing is, you can use anything you like to land it there, so it'd be a case of sending an entry from the single tank to orbit/single tank to the moon challenge as a payload of a larger rocket, placing it anywhere you like and flying it back fully fueled.

With ion engines, it's entirely possible to get back from pretty much anywhere with 81t of fuel. Hell, you could do a reverse flyby grand tour and some choice landings and still make it home.

Reverse flyby?

 

[Horus Lupercal]

Reverse flyby?

Yeah, a reverse GT, start at pluto surface, detach the complete lander, take off and come back via everything

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Oh...

Err what? Proud? You didn't build our builds.

What does that mean, the challenge is just like; do good

Unrealistic, no heat shield.

There are no heat shields on iOS, I don’t know about the other platforms but reentry physics aren’t a thing, just aero breaking

There aren't any, he's just being cosmo.
