I crashed into the sun

Impressive. You have to really try to do that. It's quite costly in dV.

I was hoping to return with massive science, but somehow during the warp there, my orbit drifted downwards.

I think Hyperedit has a utility where you can place craft on the surface. I think you need to land something there manually and bookmark the site first though.

You can supposedly have it land/drop craft on a location. I've found that that tool is very useful for making ships explode for no apparent reason.

Woo! Successfully performed an orbital 7-point docking maneuver!

Even more impressive, considering that heavy RCS tug on the end there is the only part of the structure with any sort of RCS thrusters, or even SAS systems.
Edit:

And, the second pair, with an in-progress docking.

So yeah. Now got a pair of hangar bays in space big enough to fit a couple Saturn Vs apiece. Eh, I'm sure I'll find a use for them eventually.

Here I was all proud of myself for doing my first ever no mechjeb rendezvous and docking and you do some amazing thing like docking 7 points at once.

I even did mine with a spaceplane.  But now I see I must go bigger.  Much bigger.  Clearly I need to do an 8 point docking!  Yes that's the trick!

....I may need a bigger space station.

I captured an asteroid and am currently hollowing it out to make it a refueling and resupply base.

So far I have a kethane refinery and a small greenhouse (I am using TAC life support). Greenhouse is creating oxygen and food for me, using up water. I'll need to ship more water in.

Next addition will be a fuel hatch to use the 'hollowed out' space inside the rock as a fuel tank.

Because water is totally used up when plants photosynthesize.

...yes?

The law of Conservation of Mass states that wouldn't be possible.

[Putnam]

No it doesn't. That's kind of how chemical reactions work.

Also, it's conservation of energy.

[Eotyrannus]

It's sunlight energy + water +co2 -> glucose + oxygen -> chemical energy + water + co2

But then the oxygen and carbon and hydrogen is used for other things too, like building structures, so you have to replace co2 and water.

It can be recovered. It's temporarily locked up in the sugars and such produced, but respiration turns it back into water. Same with other things hydrogen and oxygen are used for It's why Earth still has oceans. If water was permanently vanished, we'd be out of it by now.

You specified "in photosynthesis" though. If you'd said "when growing plants in a sealed environment" then it'd be fine.

Is this a mod? If so, which one? Hollowing out an asteroid sounds awesome.
