I did the Asparagus thing, and wow, that was easier than I was expecting it to be.
The hard part was getting my rover/drill successfully on the Mun, It likes to tip over.
Now just to get it to the Kethane without killing Jeb.

Eh, Jeb dying is kind of a wash. Could be a success, could be failure.

I just got to minmus. Upon rendezvous to my orbiter, I realized something.

I forgot RCS.

Shit.

Long story short, I docked anyway. Took 3 tries (no disassembly, just 3 passes), but it worked. Woo!

EDIT: Checking the fuel reserves on the orbiter reveals that it's dead weight anyway. Whoops. Oh well, I guess I'll just slam it into minmus then.

You can learn a lot about an orbital body by slamming something into it and watching the debris fly. :D

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Huh. I've rarely needed to use seperatrons with my rockets. Are you doing something large and complex?

If you have screenshots, you just completed this week's weekly challenge on the KSP subreddit.

It just wobbles far too much because I am terrible at designing rockets.

Wobbling is fixed with just having more struts.

Instant win right there!

I don't think I'm going to be able to wait until the next patch to start KSPing again... dammit, don't feel like loosing all of the saved games or whatnot, but doing and building things is just too attractive :\ I've also only ever been to the Mun.

How many of you do orbital refuelling before travelling to further away places? Is it needed? I tend not to use boosters, since too many of them and everything runs at negative 10fps...

You can technically get a kerbal to the mun surface and back in under 20 parts... I've seen it done.
