Update 2 on Low Part Count to Eeloo
Okay. I'm going to have to delay the video for a bit. I'm not sure if you know but Im also working on a ssto with at least 100 kerbals to Gilly. Ive never made a MK3 ssto so I am taking quite a large jump. So. That's it.

UPDATE 1 on Low Part Count to Eeloo
After much experimentation and research. Eeloo require a lot of delta v. The biggest burns include the escape, the slow down to Eeloo, landing and take off, and going back to Kerbin. To make my self not worried about this I plan to make sure that in space the rocket has at least 12,000 m/dv. This makes sure I dont panic and freak out when I'm low. I'm not a Kerbal Space Program pro that can do gravity assist at a whim. So the 12,00 m/dv is a good thing so the mission can go well. And if you are asking how many parts well, that depends. I want lot of xenon gas and electric charge. So l will properly use Z-1k Rechargeable Battery Bank, 2 SP-L 1x6 Photovoltaic Panels, IX-6315 "Dawn" Electric Propulsion System, and PB-X750 Xenon Container. That will be used for the transfer stage. However, I'm scared that the ion stage wont be able to land or take off. So. I'm going to have to test that.
The 1st and second stage will be simple. Oh. I forgot to mention. This rocket will have three stages. Possibly four. The second stage will be a nuclear engine with the fuel tank. What sit called again? Oh. Ya. I will use the FL-T200 Fuel Tank or FL-T400 Fuel Tank drained of oxidizer. I'll have to see how far I can push the nuclear engine.
The list stage will be a solid fuel rocket booster. I might use the S1 SRB-KD25k "Kickback" Solid Fuel Booster. It had about 1,986 m/dv. That was good. That's it for now though. Bye.

Eeloo isn't that bad, it takes practice, but with enough work you can get it down. Let me give some advice;
-Xenon is really only great for small probes, you don't really need it if you are trying to do a crew mission. Try avoiding it when you don't need it. I never used Xenon unless it was some kind of multi-planetary mission (like my comet chaser that went to a comet, two asteroids, and a couple of dresteroids.)
-If I where you, I would make the payload mass as low as possible, meaning use the lander can module, use the terrier, and use the 2nd version of the landing legs.
-The best way for someone at least that hasn't visited Eeloo is to not use engines that require a lot of skill to operate (nervas, dawn, etc.) Try to use mostly liquid and oxygen, so terriers, wolfhounds, etc.
-The amount required to burn into Eeloo orbit depends on basically where it is in orbit, unlike Eve, Jool, or Duna. It's better to visit Eeloo during separate times in it's orbit. Eeloo is in the three that have weird orbits requiring special windows to get a low cost mission. If I where you, look at where Eeloo is in your save. Look at it's inclination, try to get an intersection that is at a plane level of near 0 or have an encounter at a simmilar inclination. This takes practice but with enough time you can get this down
-I would avoid using Solar, i've been to Eeloo multiple times and once did a landing with a dawn, it takes a lot of recharge time. You need the biggest solar panels to realistically recharge with the dawn, and a lot of batteries. It's better to just avoid it and go with an RTG and liquid fuel.
-Overall, good luck. But I would avoid trying to have a Dawn-Nuclear depended mission for Eeloo, it's not that great trust me. Better to go full liquid and oxidizer.

Sorry I could not post a KSP video this week. I was testing my craft and ran out of time. Currently more testing and research is conducted at the KSC to see if my low part count chip to Eeloo can actually make it there are not. I will give more updates soon. Follow me and the forums to see updates and videos. Subscribe to me to see the video when it releases. I plan to do a premiere.

Some general concepts for changes and addition that are drifting around my head (not to say this is the way they'll be though, we've all gotta generally agree what to implement and this is just my take! Plus discovery mechanics and hence the rest of the system won't happen for many updates)
Jool: Actually the second-smallest gas giant, with unusually large moons. All other gas giants would have objects smaller than or comparable to Moho.
- Laythe: Very volcanic because of its proximity and the tidal forces from the other moons. Still oceans of water, but now with actual active volcanos with lava lakes (that destroy things)
- Vall: Never liked the design of vall too much. I'd like to make it a bit more like eeloo, with large cracks in the ice and a more chaotic surface.
- Tylo: Never liked this either, also needs to be redone. Perhaps turned into a highly-contrasting body like Iapetus.
- More tiny moons: Just a bunch of small moonlets, at least 20. Probably would be nameable by the player or given designations (ex. J-17 for the 17th moon of Jool discovered)
Gas planet 2: ~50% larger than Jool, with rings. Early version shown on a stream a while ago.
- Eeloo: Relocated to orbit GP2, now with large geysers that can knock your ship around (prototyped several weeks ago, they function quite well)
- Daphy: Unusually smooth and round ball of fluff. An asteroid which has accumulated material from the rings, practically no gravity.
- Potatus: Small moon with relatively high inclination relative to GP2's equator. Composed of ices surrounding a highly dense core. Very rapid rotation (21 minutes) causes it to be stretched into an oblate spheroid (prototyped a while ago, the physics actually work and are really cool)
- Fonso: Largest moon, ~300 km radius. Very mountainous, with a thick atmosphere that only extends partway up the mountains (as in, the mountain peaks are in vacuum, while the proper surface is at two atmospheres)
- Tiny moons: Same case as Jool
Gas planet 3: Perhaps not an actual gas planet, could be a 2000km rocky planet with a thick atmosphere (have fun landing under 6g and 30 atmospheres of pressure)
- Moon with rings? Would have to be diffuse rings as well as recent, fully-formed rings wouldn't last long in that position.
Gas planet 4: Who knows.
Beyond: Who knows x2
I found this on the forums from @NovaSilisko .

Hey do people think of Eeloo of this song? I think it fits well with the theme of Eeloo. Lonely, far, cold.

I know @BlackMesaSurvivor. However I missed the KCS by a longshot and needed to land. I didn't have enough fuel and trust. So a water landing had to do.

THANK YOU! YOU HAVE CHOSEN AN OIL RIG TO LAYTHE. IS THIS CORRECT?
THANK YOU!YOU HAVE CHOSEN A RECUE MISSION TO RESCUSE YOUR KERBALS FROM TOKYO, JAPAN. IS THIS CORRECT?
THANK YOU!YOU HAVE CHOSEDN A SUBSCRIPRION FOR LOOTCRATE.COM. IS THIS CORRECT?
Do you remember this part @Matt Lowne? Its from this video and it has your voice, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV7GvQ3kYWw&list=PL9TJhYxFTqChWLvq5cnKkkSISQC5fmsPR&index=2&t=695s

This is Doctor Kerbal everyone! Hello. This weekend I'm going to make a Gilly SSTO. This SSTO will be rather large and I'm planning on using it to send 100 Kerbals to Gilly. If you would like ot see this video when its fresh and new please subscribe to me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ9fQPVeOGopjD7IfONUU4g/videos.
If you would like to know why I'm sending 100 Kerbals to Gilly here's the answer:
