Starting craft

Not the actual one. I had to make very slight changes and forgot to make another screenshot on my final try.

Old reddit challenge

Back when there were weekly challenges, I finished one of them. Here, I had to detach all engines within the first 150m and still make it to the mun (although not necessarily in one piece). Here is my uneditedcommentary from back then:

As you can see, this modified version has 2 more tanks and 4 less engines. Also: 0 acceleration and nothing in the stages - immediate detachment.

Flying through spaaaaace

Quoting the space core will surely never, ever get old.

Getting closer... closer...

Almost there! My first Reddit challenge!

There we go!

I wish I would have done a few more screenshots at the end. I had an intercept course right towards the middle of the moon with 20 units of fuel left, so I just started rotating in a circle around the equatorial ring.

Completely burnt out

Also, wiggling free of the rocket.

Maybe the beams will break my fall?

As you can see, after some wiggling and time acceleration, only my 'command module' remains.

No

900 m/s was just a tad too fast I suppose.

Further proof

Anyone who is actually interested in reading this stuff?

Done it!

My first Reddit challenge! Only easy mode, but still.

What were you supposed to be trying to do?

It was a reddit challenge where you had to reach the moon while being disconnected from anything that actually makes you ultimately fly.
