KSP2 Challenge #1 - Land on the Mun

[wind thorn]

Transfer Stage has separation issues

[wispy ether]

Had the same problem had to come up with a different landing approach

[white spindle]

I made it, now for the hard part of redocking at my main craft and going for minmus

[coral sundial]

Black and purple gang 🤝

[proven heath]

Lets goooo!

And I stranded bill because I forgot to add the reentry stuff 😭

[unborn socket]

my landing on Mun 🙂

[radiant lantern]

This is fine

[main belfry]

landed with 21 kerbals it also has no fuel i landed upright but when tacking a screenshot i accidently blasted myself up 2km 😦 the lander is made up of a labradoodle engine under 1 large fuel tanks it has 2 large crew cabins each full with 8 kerbals and 1 large command pod and the kerbals cant eva because the hatch is facing down i retried the landing a landed upright this time 🙂

[elder spindle]

I found something : Mun arch !

[honest geyser]

I didn't know about the challenge when I landed on the mun earlier today, but here is me on minimus my second mission.

[swift mason]

i've done it, not sure if i'll get back though..
update: they aren't getting back, not because of fuel but the game won't let them board anymore ):

[sharp stirrup]

Wheee

[hasty pivot]

Made it

[cobalt verge]

did it

[wet onyx]

bill will NOT be returning

[static oracle]

time for a rescue mission!

[inland delta]

When years of experience isn't enough for you to remember to bring landing gear but it is enough for you to be able to land anyway (music isn't added just coincidental lol).

[cold lion]

barely enough delta v to get back

[left schooner]

time to launch a rescue mission bc we dont got enough delta v to get home!

[analog brook]

Done....

[ivory swan]

I will not waste fuel in a stage

[quartz dome]

how do i plant a flag lmao

[grave wadi]

Made it just in time to watch Kerbin block out Kerbol!

[bleak jackal]

It's in a menu if you click on your Kerbal.

[reef glen]

Time for a rescue mission

[feral carbon]

egg (very pixelated
||no i didnt "cheat" i 'tested' barichronestone trajectories, they do not work in timewarp. i think this qualifies for the challenge thing||

[grand brook]

Had to improvise the landing legs were gone xD

[dapper acorn]

Does that count as landing on the Mun?

[past monolith]

what is that?

[hasty pivot]

its kinda a spoiler that no one bothers to mark as one

[alpine shuttle]

after established a good sattelite network from kerbin to moon orbit, succesfully landed on the happy soil off the mun.

[sonic dagger]

I'm prolly gonna have to send some fuel for her, I spend way too much of my return V landing this silly thing.

[static oracle]

wow, nice aim!

[worthy mason]

Look what I found

[remote nova]

Challenge Completed !

The first Mun landing of Kerbalkind was made thanks to the "9mm Bullet Lander" !
However this historical event shows that while some Kerbals are truly focused on the future and are looking towards the stars, others have more ... dow-to-Kerbin concerns

[tribal snow]

I mean... I landed

[static oracle]

a rescue mission might be in order...

[storm tinsel]

Landing and return
Full mission: https://imgur.com/a/4aI8mON

[gleaming agate]

Took alot of adjusting to the new game but I made it!

[vocal plank]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/931993085989257227/1079181339988852817/image.png

We made it!```

[ashen linden]

Tim is happy about it, just a basic mun landing but on the new basalt flats!

[hearty jungle]

First time I've ever taken part in a challenge, and despite my fairing randomly falling off during launch the rocket somehow survived so I count that as a good trip

[round relic]

Got Warped through the 4th dimension but I made it 😄

[glossy vortex]

Val did it the Kerbal way

[neon dagger]

there is not heating thats why

[cobalt cipher]

made it but low frame rate made it difficult to land properly. due to a loss of engine during landing say hello to the mun's first permanent inhabitant

[jovial plinth]

Absolutely loving the sun rays

[dapper acorn]

Thanks ☺️
It took me like 3 quicksaves to get the feeling for my ship right in the first place haha

[crude pewter]

https://youtu.be/7gZj_sWf8hE

[rich sky]

Found it!

[heavy lark]

Just realized I posted these in the wrong spot, oops. Also shown is my first Mün landing in KSP1, back in 2013 or thereabouts.

[lost robin]

Made it. Landing gears didn't work as advertised.

[left canopy]

First landing (:

[midnight jungle]

id say this counts

[fresh jolt]

First Mun landing + Round Trip

[open turret]

Well, I made it, but I can't do EVA since there's apparently an obstacle (suspect my docking ring or ladder are in the way). I might have enough fuel to get home, but it would involve docking on an orbital station.

[wooden radish]

My trip with an Apollo style ship.
https://imgur.com/gallery/CA27rVv

[jaunty crest]

might have brought the entire rocket and command module with me... oops!

[cyan cloud]

I tried to do a Apollo stile landing but because glitches I couldn’t un dock ): so… I landed with booth (my 3 mun landing)
(update iv have some how landed it back on kebrin)

[quaint escarp]

Eskettit

[covert osprey]

Landed w/ Jeb and Val

But don't have enough Delta V for the return trip, guess I gotta go rescue them

[novel scarab]

bob made it to the mun and back

[hollow crown]

Valentina made it to the moon 😄
She loves the place so much that she's not coming back !

[dusty stone]

Final Descent, Landing, Solar Power & Comms reporting successfully landed on Mun. “Jester’s Munar #1” mission.

[raw kernel]

Unfortunately due to the decoupler crossfeed glitch I didn't have enough fuel to make it back

[old rain]

Playing with new Cargo Bays.

[formal aspen]

M u n

[dense yarrow]

i tried to do a rendevous but it doesnt work. so i landed with a regular rocket.

[dreamy meadow]

Does anyone know were the Maneuver Planner is??

[steep jay]

landed but the fuel crossfeed bug drained my tanks so a rescue mission was needed (with the workaround), which encountered several more bugs with gaining a landed state in orbit and having no control besides reversed RCS thrusters

[gusty patrol]

I see no problem here

[sweet summit]

coincidentally.. managed to land next to an arch https://puu.sh/JAcMc/29ed9796af.jpg

[zinc raven]

Got a pretty good sized rover... though the lander that brought it here kinda exploded a lot...

[signal nimbus]

BEST POSE EVER

[light shard]

did it in mostly 15-20 fps

[abstract marten]

🥳

[twilit ginkgo]

landed too

[zinc junco]

We made it to the mun in the new Starship. Kerblon Musk would be proud!

[minor zephyr]

landing gear kinda glitched into the ground and broke my parachute when i hit the ground, making a recovery vehicle 😅

[tiny thistle]

after much pain and suffering... I finally made it!!!

[grim mist]

I dont have enough delta-v to get back.....

[boreal lion]

just got here. The docking ports would not disconnect so now they are stranded and need rescue ( sorry for small Image)

[cursive lion]

A mild Kraken attack has prevented by brave kerbonaut from disembarking by clipping the radial thrusters into the main craft body, but my Apollo style lander has safely touched down on the Mun! Now to rendezvous...

[finite glen]

Landed, and managed to get home (with only minor messing around in save files to get the game to render flight paths)

[fierce hatch]

Just made it with Zero fuel remaining, Time to Launch a Rescue

[hidden elbow]

Landed on the dark side of the Mun.

[neat star]

Ran into a million technical issues on the way there, but I did it! Made it to the Mun... mostly in one piece...

[lone nacelle]

Landed successfully just forgot to put solar panel on my craft.... Let try to get back home now.

[gusty scarab]

Made it!

[full tendon]

made it, had to land with eva pack due to fuel crossfeed bug

[remote elk]

Made it sort of; slope looked a lot flatter from above

[left aurora]

We made it, guys!
https://i.imgur.com/zkriZyE.png

[zinc raven]

Late post, made it just after an hour off release.

[rugged hollow]

Finally lol, took me some hours to adjust to the new physics of the game :(

[keen sapphire]

I tried to get them back with another craft but the kerbals fell threw the muns ground ;-;

[crisp haven]

Mun Landing!
(unfortunately wont be able to get back to kerbin due to the fuel tank starting at 20% fuel)

[proper oxide]

I finally did my first mun landing ever! It was a total disaster but I did it 🥲

[patent vine]

And now... to get him back

[atomic wigeon]

[sturdy oracle]

Had to do it on all low settings at lowest resolution at 7fps average, but I did it... (pumped all settings ups and resolution for the screenshot)

[brazen elbow]

finally got to doing it, and now im stranded

[edgy gyro]

Might have overbuilt the rocket LOL Edit: I still made it back!

[dense marlin]

les goooooo (hint: don't plant a flag in time warp)

[devout snow]

Finally completed! This was way harder then it should of been. Getting a lander on KSP 1 is a breeze. I felt like KSP 2 was fighting me the whole time. But I did it!

[feral drum]

Desland is happy he found a Mun Arch! (Though now he's stuck on the Mun)

[delicate elm]

I call them the Apollo 13

[quaint dust]

Blimpy - Very large ship with two of the new round Hydrogen tanks and the largest Hydrogen engine to date. This is my second ship to Mun and it has enough fuel to head to the outer reaches of the system. Seats 5.
https://youtu.be/-WiV4Yupjt0

Had a heck of a time finding a spot flat enough to land though. Still struggles with large ships so colonies might be difficult to implement.

[worldly charm]

Jeb Level, solo jeb gets himself stranded and Val must come rescue him.

[lone forge]

First attempt to actually land and I found the arch 🙂

[bitter atlas]

Easy

[jaunty magnet]

Let's just all agree I did my best. My computer was doing it's best. I see optimization of graphics and such in the future. :3

[jagged cairn]

A few bugs but made it.

[naive bloom]

Landed and returned, the rise of Kerbol on the Mun was quite atmospheric

[indigo gazelle]

first landing, things of course did not go quite as expected...

[lyric kettle]

Made It

[fathom spruce]

Got it better on attempt #12 I think

Lost count

[ripe spear]

I did that on my second ksp 2 launch

[distant niche]

Attempt 1, and then sent two more to retrieve Bill

[round plume]

Landed and found the arch on my first attempt, burned to much Delta V to get closer and had to send a rescue ship for Jeb.

[jagged cairn]

Tim came to save Val after her ship decided it wanted to go to the Mun's core

[lime lantern]

Strech goal for Jeb

[golden pendant]

Not enough fuel to go home! !

[left reef]

Guys I think the next ksp 2 challenge should be getting back to kerbin

[carmine sandal]

We made it!

[copper phoenix]

No I think it should be going to duna. Because ive already done it and its easier for mee

[worldly quail]

Re-creating my Mun-landing from 11 years ago:

[lime lantern]

The stretch goal for Mun is to rescue the crew with a second rocket, so it would not be possible for people who did the stretch goal

[hard drift]

Mun Arch Probe

[lime lantern]

In the KSP launcher it says you have to land a kerbal

[jovial plinth]

The true secret challenge: jet pack from kerbin to the Mun and back.

[sweet summit]

figured i would repost with an uploaded image instead of a linked one that might vanish by time these get looked at...

[plush tendon]

did it

[proper terrace]

Are all Mun arches like that in KSP2 or is it just that one?

[neat depot]

Just 1

[leaden tapir]

Challange done: Land on Mun
Overkill 1: Take a rover with you
Overkill 2: Go back to Kerbin and land

[left reef]

Good job

[grim mist]

flight report

[tall gulch]

Done! With a build of the Saturn V rocket as Apollo mission.

[jovial plinth]

that looks epic man

[wheat compass]

Pause the game when doing that, it for some reason stops your craft from tipping

[verbal axle]

ESA Argonaut on the Moon !

[tribal snow]

Done

[mortal perch]

Just put this small lander ontop of a medium SRB. Took a lot of Delta V to not be lawn Dart status into the MUN surface. But alas we survive.

[hollow grove]

Made it to the Mun!

[hot rapids]

I landed next to the [Special] Mun arch. Flying threw it teleports you in to Skyrim XD ||

[worldly hazel]

Well. I guess this kerbal is on laythe with just a plane. It doesnt even perform well

[gusty flare]

space car space car

[drowsy rapids]

Space rescue! Bill landed 2 days ago in a crash landing, and Jeb and Val launched a rescue mission to save him. Here's all three happy and healthy on the Mun!

[trail igloo]

Valentia claimed the Arch for the honour and glory of all Kerbal-kind. And to one-up Jeb

[covert osprey]

Successfully landed on the Mun... and Kerbin
I think I gave my lander more Delta V than necessary kek

[hollow grove]

Val and Bill successfully planted a flag on the Mun in the name of Kerbin

[dim basin]

Landed on the Mun, but Bill forgot a few things.....like parachutes....Guess they'll hang out in LKO till the next shuttle launch.

[gray berry]

https://youtu.be/h4xoKYTC_k0 Maybe you prefer the real apollo style of doing things

[rigid blaze]

Update: I stuck the landing, and they got to go home afterwards, too 🎉

[merry heart]

Bill kerman seems very happy that his rocket has toppled over lol

[stone haven]

Bills oneway trip to Tylo...

[lofty cosmos]

Second Landing with a Rover 😄

[dapper dune]

...landed on Kerbol.... kinda

[lusty knoll]

what in the world...

[sudden yoke]

To the Mun Arch and back. 🙂

[onyx pike]

That's MOHO?!?!?! What's with the ice?

[quaint dust]

Big Blimpy landed on Moho Eeloo in giant crevice by large green rock. My kerbal is tiny in comparison, as seen standing up in front on the right of the ship.

See the landing. https://youtu.be/IYVdxwKpmj0 (can't get the embed to update with the new title)
Thanks to @onyx pike for correcting me on the planet.

[vagrant anchor]

I did it

[grim mist]

sent a rescue mission to the previous landing, ran out of fuel so I had to use the orbital rocket to get a safe landing, I also had to ditch it last minute...now i need to rescue 3 kerbals....

[chilly yew]

Sniff, lander freaked out when Val exited the can. Went spinning away. Almost killed her too ahahah.

[devout verge]

I'd call that a success

[ionic vine]

hey i landed soemthing similar but mine ran away frm me

[exotic ravine]

how the hell am I getting 40fps at 4k max settings with a 1070ti?

[wooden thunder]

First time landing on the mun in either game

[ashen sundial]

On the dark side, without style but Bob did it. Unfortunately he must stay up there because of a hole or something in the fuel tank.

[zinc raven]

[tranquil acorn]

It aint much but... well... it aint much

[craggy fox]

Valentina's MK 1 lander and the KSC's first contact with the Mun! In an interview, engineers said they were so excited for their first build that they forgot to add "getting home" to the list of things this rocket could do. "We just really wanted to get out there," they explained. Good thing Valentina packed extra snacks!

[craggy fox]

Bob had the privilege of piloting the hefty MK 3. In fact, so hefty that it skipped the entire second mark. Critics called it "Quite almost supererogatory". (The KSC's accountant said the same)

[dry totem]

One small... you know 😉

[native mirage]

Made a surprisingly steady, soft landing. They didn't read the manual about opening the airlock from the outside, but they enjoy the view, so should keep them distracted for a while.

[sinful valley]

My entry for the challenge.

[turbid gorge]

Did this just in time yesterday!

Lets goooo (safely back to earth too)

[junior yew]

Yoo that looks sick

[rustic berry]

wow

[wary vortex]

Oh now I did it properly

[near linden]

That was a a horrible experience!

[plush locust]

So much for a rescue mission. Jeb fell through the moon !!

[spring tide]

Valentina's first Mun landing with a nice peak at Kerbin in the background!

[mighty creek]

does this count? i was about to land until this happened

[mighty creek]

dead chat

[midnight jungle]

[unborn field]

I finally did the challenge guys!!!!!11!

[zinc raven]

Anyone remember the good old days?
