I'm in.

I've never had any troubles landing near the space center personally, but we can call kerbin safe if you really have that much trouble.

Really? If you use a reentry vehicle that's just a command pod and a parachute you can consistently land within 1km of KSC? 

I guess my concern is mostly that if you splash down in the ocean (which is probably the most sensible thing to do with a reentry vehicle like that), there isn't really even a way to legitimately rescue a Kerbal in a pod in the middle of the ocean. We're already assuming some sort of recovery capability for dropped off parts, so this doesn't seem like such a stretch to me.

Mechjeb can land anywhere you want to, including the KSP. So if you really want to you can just use that.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Considering most of my craft are either SSTO, spaceplanes, or both, I rarely have trouble landing within the vicinity of the KSC, unless I derp really hard.

[CognitiveDissonance]

Ah... KSP sounds like a lot of fun, I don't yet have it. Should I?

[Scelly9]

Yes.

You seem to be missing the Projects section.

Projects section?

Under Mission Types, Space Station (Module) - See Projects section.

Ahh, should be 'operations' I'll change that. Construction of multipart stations/bases are handled as an operation since they require multiple launches/stages.

Sure, assuming I have sufficient control of the lander's attitude prior to separation. In fact I do that all the time. I could demonstrate doing it manually if you like.

Not everyone has that level of ability though.  It's fairly assumed that Kearth has a wide-reaching population who have simply become invisible.  If they're capable of going into space, they should be capable of renting a boat to retrieve a command capsule 2km offshore.  And if it's too far, there's -someone- living on that part of the planet who can.

Agreed, so any landing on kerbin/kearth is safe. Science missions only need to land intact to complete.

Also hey girlinhat, you're first. Go make with the rokkits.

Oh right, did I not include the link to the save? derp. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9910241/KSPR2_Initial.zip

[Dutchling]

Kerbin. Not Kearth.

How do I... use this?  It's just got a save and a plugins folder.  So I've got my usual set of parts available.

[Sean Mirrsen]

The modpack is in the OP.

Yeah download modpack, delete your parts folder, past in folders, play.

I'd like to participate too.
