Yeah, I need to do a kethane powered skycrane at some point! What's your skycrane design like? Also - your rovers need more lights!

Also, miauw, looks like you can just drop a rover anywhere on that Mun and start getting some Kethane!

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.

In the current model it's 6 Kerbals + 1 Driver. Although in theory I could fit 6 more in the front but that would remove HAL the remote guidance system.
The passengers also all sit next to 6 nuclear reactors. So for the rave parties on the Mun, you become the glow stick.

Spoiler: They now have an escape vehicle! (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Brought to them by this 15-stage monstrosity (click to show/hide)
This one took way longer than it should have.
First iteration: Skycrane using too much fuel. Added extra transfer stage to conserve Skycrane fuel.
Second iteration: Escape vehicle has too little fuel. Added more payload fuel and increased Skycrane fuel to compensate.
Final iteration: Lifter inefficient. Added extra Asparagus stage to elongate lift.

Learned a bit more about precise manual landing, though!

Spoiler: Solar eclipse! (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Just a little farther and I would've buzzed the tower (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: MunComm Sat (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: MunComm Hub (click to show/hide)
This one could've probably used a nuclear reactor to compensate for time on the dark side. I hope the Kerbals brought power cables and a dynamo or something.

Spoiler: IN THE NAME OF SPACE CTHULHU I WILL GET THIS TO THE MUN! (click to show/hide)

Good grief, I love me some KSP screenshots.... I really mean that, the game is so epic, even on a smaller scale! It gives such a great feeling of achievement!!!

Probably something along the lines of a Community Space Program. I think we already had collaborative station building around here, no?
