Mod Description:

This competition is now closed.

The competition was extremely close but Anthony Bishop’s late entry, with an impressive time of 1:53, was the winning entry. Congratulations.

For this competition the aim is to reach 15,000m fast as you can and then land safely using only the stock parts bin and one of 3 Lunar Lander Modules.

The fastest time wins.

How To Enter

1. You need to take a screenshot and/or video of your flight. The screenshot needs to show the time of your flight and your spacecraft safely landed on the ground.

2. Use a picture hosting service to upload your photo such as Flickr or Photobucket or if you record a video of your attempt, use a video hosting service such as Youtube to upload your video.

3. Post your picture, or a link to your picture/video in the comments section below. For pictures you can use the tags <@img src="PICTURE URL HERE" /> – just removed that @ symbol first

4. Redesign and go back to step 1.

Parachutes allowed, or is that cheating? New here and don’t know the customs.

Revised time of 03:33, added an RCS module which let me do a retro-burn to lower my apokee to just over 15,000 m and do some fine-tuning on landing.

No video this time, but proofs:

Shot taken immediately after landing to show MET

Taken four seconds later, showing the stack safely landed. Note altitude is the same as the last shot, proving that the stack was landed at 03:33.

Not sure why the tag isn’t working for me. Here’s Web links to the pictures on Flickr.

02:49. LM ascent engine and tank substantially reduce the weight that has to be boosted, and can still get you down whole. Sometimes. If you’re careful.

Apokee was a little high- okay, it was a lot high- but even on other trials where I hit it closer the stack didn’t perform more than a couple seconds better overall. Mostly impacted how much fuel margin I had before things got interesting.

  Nothing. It’s my fault. There was a lot of spam recently so I was trying to get rid of it all.
  
  Great Time!

Apologies for not approving your posts earlier. There was quite a bit of spam coming through so I was trying to get rid off all the rubbish before approving your posts.

Thanks for sticking with me though
