If you have the energy to 1. Create a black hole 2. get it to the center of said moon/planetoid, and 3.Build a structure strong enough to contain it, why not just use that energy to create your own planet (like the genesis project).

It worked!!

That happens a lot when I have my headphones in. I'll be listening to a certain song and it'll sound like someone called my name. Ill take off my headphones and look around.

This gave me an idea for a new part: The FL-4T-US Pulse Jet. Unfortunately, I don't know how to mod.

Wow! Never would have thought.

I've managed about 2.5km with this thing: If I use any more though, it explodes. Anyone do any better? EDIT:I of course mean sub-orbit. I know theres no way in hell you could make orbit that way.

Not that one specifically. I'm talking about ones like this:https://what-if.xkcd.com/4/ I think Kerbin just gained a third moon: Mole

https://what-if.xkcd.com/28/ This is one of my favorite entries. A lot of the questions are so Kerbal it's not even funny like "Could you get to space only using model rocket motors" or "Could you make a Machine Gun Jetpack." A lot of the question don't seem very Kerbal at the beginning, but the answers a lot of times are.

One of my Kerbals, Danger Kerman (yes, Danger), was a stuntman for Kerboversal Studios specializing in vehicle based stunts (remember that scene in Karmageddon, where they jumped the rover on the asteroid. That was Danger). His ultimate goal is to set a vehicle jump record. Where better to do that than Minmus. B-) Also, I've just been informed that he has requested that his name be typed in Italics from now on. Sure thing Danger, Damn Narcissist.

Personally, I don't think we'll be able to do much more than the cam/jeb figurine/radio setup on the first mission. But who knows how much we'll get on kickstarter. Perhaps a goal system can be implemented, the size of the sat and how much stuff is crammed inside depending on how much we can raise. Example: $XX,000: 1U cubesat with cam and transmitter $XXX,000:2 or 3U cubesat with cam, transmitter and additional experiments Just add that in the pitch.

Exactly! I agree.

I have no doubt that even sending up a 1U cubesat into LEO with a radio and a camera would be exceedingly difficult, both technically and financially. But not impossible, given enough people donating (remember, most of JPL plays KSP). But what needs to happen first is people need to agree on a realistic mission goal (such as some permutation of the above example.)With a good pitch on kickstarter and an emotional hook, anything is possible. I think we need to work on said pitch.

I think a small Kerbal figurine with a camera pointing at and some way to transmit still shots would suffice for a first mission.
