Put a Flag on EVERY Planet in KSP... in less than 2 hours! | WORLD RECORD 100% Speedrun

KSP's 100% category requires all landable bodies (planets AND moons) be flagged by a Kerbal who safely returns to Kerbin. In this Science-mode speedrun we must also acquire enough science to unlock the entire tech tree in R&D upon return to Kerbin.

Having built up some chops in the Tech Tree Unlock categories, borrowed the basic premise from MrShannon's 100% and 'Land All Planets' runs, and grinded this route in over the past couple weeks...

I now submit a sub-2 hour 100% science-mode speedrun of Kerbal Space Program. This will be my 4th WR on the boards, and three held concurrently!

[THE RUN]
Mixed feelings about this run, honestly. My sense is that this route can be brought in under 1h 30m with practice. Eve and Gilly landings can be refined and pushed to their limits, instead of clumsily bumbled to completion; Timings and transfers can be performed generally quicker, cleaner, and with more of a plan and intent, than an improvisation.

The important factors in flying the "Magic Ship" here, seem to lie in avoiding gimbal loss during harsh transfers by traveling at healthy angles. Flight directly toward or away from the gravity well ruins the navball nodes and over-complicates burns. Use of landed timewarp can acquire transfer vectors that cost little time up front, saving minutes of corrections on the backend. So, in other words: All this can be done a LOT better.

But, rather than continue the grind here in the Science-mode category of KSP's 100% speedrun -- I'm taking what I've learned bringing this run sub-2 hours, and going after the 100% Career mode run.

And I'm hoping that, by the time I'm ready to submit a 100% Career-mode, it TOO will come in under 2 hours.
