I've noticed contracts like science data from orbit of planet x don't show up until after you've visited that planet, and I'd like to see something similar for the base deployment contracts. I just got a contract to deploy a base with 5 kerbals to Ike, and in this game I haven't been outside the Kerbin system yet. I took the contract anyway because it pays very well, but I feel the contract system shouldn't generate missions like this until after you complete the explore missions for a planet/system.

Introducing the newest rocket from Kerbal Possumworks, the new Aztec rocket. It is being designed for manned interplanetary voyages, hopefully! Launching this beast of a rocket, utilizing mechjeb to maintain consistency during the testing phases. 3 Kerbals aren't likely to return home again.

My first manned mission to Duna. It was a success, sort of. The first stage burned a little hot, but it still got me quite a bit of momentum. Once the chutes fully deployed my capsule and rocket got pulled apart Rescue mission planned for next year. I actually touched down pretty close to my rover, about 1.7km away.
