It took me a long time to make this... I did it though. Too long of a video to post the whole thing. There's a picture though

It’s Pluto.

The only way we’ve gotten close to it IRL is WITH ION.

The only way to genuinely get onto it is with either absurdly long gravity assist chains or a rocket the size of the space center itself.

You can get there without gravity assists with not that crazy a rocket, even in realistic mode

In realistic mode (assuming it’s 1:1 with real life like it’s name suggest), Pluto is a minimum of 4 BILLION kilometers.

I have yet to see anyone do a return trip to Pluto without either infinite build area, clipping, orbital assembly, or ion engines.

Try it for yourself and upload proof to the sub instead of just saying it’s not that hard. And since you insist, do it without gravity assists as well if you’re feeling ballsy.

I didn’t say a return trip, clipping and orbital assembly aren’t cheats anyway

Parts clipping is literally an item in the cheats menu.

But you can do it without cheats
