  1. "bla bla --> comma , land on Duna without oxidizer of any kind at anytime" Is just wrong grammar. It should be "bla bla, land on Duna. Do all this without oxidizer of any kind at anytime." The last sentence included "land on Duna," so the "without oxidizer" connects to "the landing" 100%. Grammar is supposed to help the writer and the reader to make things clear, not confusing.
  2. It's autopilot technology in the real world. Some aspects are done by trim hold of the control surfaces and flaps is a totally basic functionality on an airplane more than airbrakes and parachutes. A good step towards these potential implementations in KSP would be to hold the nose pointing at the horizon.
  3. "The easy way" is to fly a rocket with a rover attached to it to a position nearby the destination where you drop off the rover.
  4. I found myself doing almost the same with and without RCS. The small crafts can rotate almost instantly and I started to orient various designs up to the docking place correctly from a distance (usually 1.2 km to 0.2 km). When I rotate the docking place port as well to receive the docking craft, it is 80-99% precise alignment and speed already from experience of what works. At a certain weight this becomes slow and difficult to do, so I plan out what needs to dock to what in my designs and hold back on placing RCS thrusters on everything.
  5. Some tiny and radial alternative to the NERV engine. Some wind blower (for air intake usage or other creative ideas) that uses unused oxidizer.
