Basket adds struts, launches Orbit III with Bill Kerman, checks on Jebediah Kerman in orbit, then lands near the mountains and hikes up one for science.
Two science hops with Jebediah Kerman buy General Construction, then Orbit I climbs into space and runs dry partway through the burn that would have made orbit.
Basket stays near home and hunts Kerbin biomes with the Planet Exploration rockets, pushes the science past 100, and buys Electrics for lights and solar panels.
Basket 14 tries for orbit with Hanvan Kerman aboard, misses the maneuver node but comes home with 37.6 science, then Basket 15 starts spinning on the way up.
Basket 6 climbs to a 145 km apoapsis but falls back and Bob Kerman is lost, Basket 7 gets Anton home, a game crash leaves later flights unrecorded, and Basket 12 ends badly for Matgan.
Basket's first GopherCraft Great Space Race episode: two launch-pad failures, a hop over the Space Center, then Basket 5 reaches space with Mystery Goo aboard and splashes down.
