Kerbal Aeronautical Initiative for Journeys into the Universe

[starkllr]

With the advent of rocketry, electronics, and an unshakeable disregard for safety and sanity, the people of Kerbin have pooled their resources into an organization that, it is hoped, will spearhead Kerbal efforts to explore the solar system and colonize outer space.

This organization is the Kerbal Aeronautical Initiative for Journeys into the Universe (KAIJU). KAIJU has, thus far, met with some measure of success.

KAIJU's first goal was to establish a permanent presence in LKO. The result is Space Station Gojira:

Two Kerbin Return Capsules can be seen docked to small ports amid the East Docking Arm, while Orbital Tug Gojira-1 is docked to a large port at the end of the arm. Currently, seven Kerbals call Gojira home. With the two fully loaded Fuel Arms, Space Station Gojira will also serve as a refuelling station for interplanetary voyages.

KAIJU's attention then turned to the Mun. A successful landing resulted in the establishment of Gamera Base:

To facilitate trips to and from the Munar surface, Space Station Rodan was constructed:

Three vessels are docked to the station. Planetary Vessel Destroyah, designed to transport Kerbals from Kerbin orbit to Munar orbit; and Planetary Lander Biollante, designed to take up to five Kerbals from the Munar surface to Munar orbit, are both docked to the Habitation Tower.

Autotanker Gorosaurus, capable of mining Kethane and converting it to fuel, is docked to the East Fuel Arm.

KAIJU scientists then turned their gaze to other planets, and a dangerous but ultimately successful voyage was dispatched to Jool. Here, Interplanetary Vessel Mothra orbits the giant gas planet:

Finally, KAIJU has planned a trip to Eve, as soon as the correct launch window opens. Interplanetary Vessel King Gidorah, with its cargo of four Minya-type MapSats, orbits Kerbin in preparation for its journey to Kerbin's nearest planetary neighbor:
