Can a single orange tank power a mission to the Mun?
In short: A Reddit challenge tasks players with reaching the Mun and returning to Kerbin using only one orange fuel tank. This video explores how to navigate the solar system while carrying a full scientific kit without any additional fuel or RCS.
The challenge imposes strict constraints: a rocket must complete a Mun flyby and a safe landing on Kerbin using nothing but a single orange tank for fuel. No other fuel or RCS is permitted.
To succeed, the mission must also carry a complete scientific kit consisting of a thermometer, gravioli measurer, barometer, and accelerometer. While the goal is a Mun flyby, the video demonstrates an expanded mission that includes landing on Duna and Ike before returning home.
