How fast can you reach the Mun and return in Kerbal Space Program?
In short: Scott Manley demonstrates a high-speed mission to the Mun and back using a purposely sub-optimal design. He challenges viewers to beat his time of under 16 minutes without using mods, inviting the community to submit their own record-breaking attempts.
The challenge focuses on achieving the quickest round trip from Kerbin to the Mun. Manley utilized MechJeb to execute an extremely long suicide burn, completing the entire journey in less than 16 minutes. He acknowledges that his current design is not optimized and encourages players to refine their own flight paths to surpass his performance.
Participants are invited to document their attempts in a video response to compete for prizes. The core requirement for valid entries is to avoid the use of mods and explicitly state that the video is an entry for the Munar Express Cheats Challenge.
