Go big or stay home - Jool 500 Challenge

[Luovahulluus]

This is my attempt at the Jool 500 Challenge. In short, it means having a 500 kerbal colony in the moons of Jool. I've never used a life support before, or even any kind of in situ resource utilization. To learn all this, I first made a proof-of-concept mobile base that I flew to minmus. The launch mass of the base was 175 656kg. The plan is to use something similar in every moon of Jool, and then expand them until I have 500 Kerbals. I can only play about one hour per day, so progress will be slow.
