(This challenge is inspired by my previous Lunar warship challenge) This is 2180 , 150th anniversary of the first mission to the mars led by our company-Spacex , and 100 year after the demise of our great founder of our company. Mars population had reached 1 million for already 50 years. Now it's time to move forward. As we all know we already send 4 human to titan the moon with 2 of our "ancient" ITS spacecrafts 5 years ago , which already return to mars a few week ago , and we are planning for something bigger-colonization of titan. To do that , we need to produce spacecraft on titan itself with the resource on titan of course , just like what we had done on mars for 80 years. And now the company decide to assist you-the chief engineer of the company, to complete this project. Here's the requirement: 1.You can ONLY use the following element or it's compound : Carbon , Argon , Nitrogen , Hydrogen and Oxygen. 10 kg of other material is allowed to build the spacecraft. The crew module 's interior will be constructed of carbon fiber , so no need to worry about the use of metal for the crew module. The rocket pump can also be built by carbon fiber so not need to concern if it require aluminum to build since it will be replaced. Diamond IS NOT ALLOWED! It is way too expensive to produce! 2.The ship needs to perform a transfer from the asteroid Themis orbit to a station at high mars orbit in our simulator to prove its capacity. Only one ship can be used during the simulation mission! (In another word ,you need to use your ship to beat the mission " Homecoming" in the core game.) 3.The liner needs to carry at least 100 tons of cargo.

Tips: Organic compound like polyethylene and carbon fiber like reinforced carbon-carbon can be used to build the ship. And numerous choice of propellant~

Greetings, SpaceX.
I am sure we'll need far more than tens of kilograms of other elements to build stuffs in the spacecraft.
Sincerely, Microsoft Interplanetary Megacooperation.

Try plastic~ I did it before~(And of course it is impossible to make plastic NTR...) AND NOW I WILL BAN DIAMOND DUE TO HIGH COST AND PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT!!!

Hey, hey, random SpaceX engineer dude, are you from the 20 th century? These days, diamonds are dirt cheap. Early infrastructure on titan cannot support mass production of diamond , so we can't use it for now~

And why don't think about using chemical rocket instead The Astronomer ?

I suggest having the ship going from Mars to Titan in a modified campaign mission. Themis is just far too close. I'll provide the game file later.

Infrastructure of mars already exist 20 years before the fall of our great founder of our firm... revise history of the whole 21th century again Microsoft dude
