AxSirlotl

I haven't played KSP in a while and I unfortunately discovered that I can't fly to Duna the same way I did before because I keep losing control of my probe when it gets near to Duna. How do I build a communications network that will let me get to Duna?

I've built a startship which will take the craft to Jool, but I haven't made the craft. I've tried a Vtol with the Convert-o-tron 125 (smaller one) but that doesn't really work. Does anyone have any good craft which can mine ore then return to laythe orbit (starship will take the mining ship back to Jool orbit). The convert-o-tron can be left on Laythe. Thanks.

I've fulfilled every requirement apart from the one which says "Build a new station that has an antenna, has a docking port, and can generate power". I have more than one docking ports, I have so many solar panels and I have an antenna but this is on a ship which was built before everything else and I've docked it to the station. Is this why it won't complete?

I'd like to know whether the tubes joining together the modules of the outpost are in KSP or are they from a mod? Also can kerbals be moved around through them to different bits of the outpost? Thanks!
