Now I'm too ashamed to even talk about my derpfail rockets.
BTW, what software do you use for those design schematics?? And did they release the patch with Girlbals already?? And dirigible parts? This is a mod, or have I been overlooking vast parts of the game?

I did something like that once:

@ Aseaheru: Do you know how are they formatted on SMF? I'll gladly add them.

Some developments on our space program:


 Our aberration of a rover being delivered safely on the mun.. it did require a /few/ more boosters though.



Soon after the rover surveyed potential locations work began on a munar base. All the modules were dropped trough a precise skycrane method (I should screenshot that someday)

All the modules are shipped with detachable wheels once the definitive position is located



Retrieval of the modules. Four modules were taken to the mun at once (but without machinery, a important detail!)


This was the most stressful one to maneuver.

This large mining and refining complex was assembled in-situ with resources hauled from kerbin...


...Via this sexy orbiter!

Current state of the munbase, we also deployed a science lab with a phased array antenna for energy transmission experiments, however our tiny 0.65 reactor isn't up to the performance for transmission, so we'll need to deploy a larger reactor eventually.


Experimental nuclear thermal SSTO spaceplane, apart from spontaneous disassembly upon takeoff this design is promising but more research is required until it can deliver useful payload. (namely a hotter reactor core)

First iteration of the base, since we had to safely shelter and feed 10 kerbals many greenhouse and kerbitat (tm) modules were required)
Our eve flyer as it approached eve


Detachment of the quadcopter module


Glorious re-entry burn.

After things cooled down and...

We lost satelite uplink right at the most delicate moment...

Oribtal fuel depot, currently this sits unused as our spaceplane program was cut down due to excessive real time charge.


Following our fiasco due to a communication mishap two of these satelites were positioned on top of the north and south poles in highly eccentric Molnya orbits to ensure greater comms coverage to all of kerbin.

Deployment of the satelite.

Tiny asteroid research probe, that tiny ion engine makes it go quite far!


Duna explorer rover with base platform.

Lifter with NTR-based propulsion for interplanetary travel. We value efficiency.

A heavier asteroid retrieving module, this one designed to capture a Class III asteroid and bring it to kerbin's SOI...


... and we then used this immensely powerful magnetoplasmodynamic-powered hauler to toss it away from the kerbol system forever. Why? Because we can!


Kerbal command was impressed with the performance of the MPD engines so much they asked us to design a much more powerful rocket for a manned (kerbaled?) mission to the Red Planet, alongside its gray moon.
