You forget the rockets.
I recreate Apollo 11 in RSS/RO.

8/10 Seen you quite a bit

Nope.

You don't add enough boosters to get the rocket off the pad.
I build a space elevator.

*Looks at own username*... Dammit!

7/10 I've seen you around a few times

You'll have to specify.
Waiter, there's a potato in my potato soup!

You forgot to install the Outer Planets Mod.
I send an unmanned mission to Pluto.

@Kerbiter May I have an update on my payload? The fairly large space telescope.

Sure, but you can still do a lot with that. Especially if you don't use a dish (that is not necessary for a moon mission), you can get plenty of dV with 200kg.
Yes, I just managed to squeeze out 550 m/s of delta v with that core. Your advice about the lifter is also helping. I'll test it once ksp loads up again (the game crashed
)

@TheEpicSquared It's a little hard to give you suggestions without knowing at what tech level you are (assuming you are playing career given you are worried about price). First of all, do you have any reason to build such a heavy probe? You could easily build a probe with plenty of scientific experiments and even a dish antenna with a single early controllable core, solar panels and some delta-v for in-course corrections (and even a orbital insertion maneuver). This would allow you to build a much smaller rocket.
Yea I tried using only the early controllable probe but then I got an insufficient avionics warning. Apparently the early controllable probe can only control 200kg. But thanks for the advice! I'll try something when I get some free time

Ok so I've used the ranger probe and 2 of the early controllable probes to make a 700kg moon flyby probe. It includes ~400 m/s of delta-v for course corrections. I am now stumped on how to go about making a lifter for my probe. Any ideas?
Edit: As a general guideline, I'd like the lifter to cost less than 10,000 funds, although above that threshold just a bit is ok. Also I'm assuming a restart able engine like the AJ-10 Mid for the TLI burn? Thanks in advance

Yes. And you get said panels at the point you get the Ranger Block I core, so why on earth would you be using an Able guidance ring of all things for a probe? :] (At least use a Delta ring or better yet Agena).
Right so I should use an Early Controllable Probe for my moon mission? Or Agena ring? Thanks

So I just launched my lunar flyby probe and noticed that electricity was draining even when the solar panels were generating electricity. I shut down everything I could think of except one antenna (so I could send commands to restart everything at the moon) but the resources tab still says that something is draining 0.15 units of electricity (I'm not sure if it's per second, minute or hour). Like I said, I shut down everything except that one antenna. Then I tried quick saving, shutting down the last antenna but the resources tab still said i was draining 0.15 units of electric charge. Any ideas?

I de-orbited my old space station, and started work on a new one. No pics. Sorry.
Btw, the station actually somehow survived reentry and I managed to land it in the ocean next to the KSC with the help of some unintentional engines placed on the crew module. Isn't ksp great?

hehehe..... yeah. I like the block of wood idea. I'm not a fan of Mechjeb, but some form of cruise control would be nice!
It's OK, driving is so much easier with a better computer, and I can sit with the keyboard in my lap and not have to move around much doing it.
Lol yeah if I'm doing long roving I usually just quicksave and stack several heavy erasers on the W key... aren't shortcuts amazing!?
-
I usually pitch my plane up to roughly 70-90 degrees AoA in the upper atmosphere (until I'm down to below 45km) and then vary my pitch depending on heating. If that doesn't work I just add radiators on the bottom of the craft to act as a heat shield of sorts. It actually works surprisingly well, and doesn't look bad if you place them right.

My payload for the Raptor 9:

This is the Kerbal Deep Space Telescope. Info such as action groups, mods, parts/mass/height/width/length can all be found on KerbalX. Hope you enjoy
EDIT: I'm not exactly sure what orbit is best for a space telescope, so I guess you choose?
