I wouldn't know where to start when it comes to interplanetary missions currently. I'm still trying to master the moons. It all takes practice I suppose; and a little research.

I think my favourite additions would probably be a saturn-like planet that would mean the possibility of your ship exploding if your orbit was on a direct path into the belt, and a magma-like planet where it would require your to pick your landing spots with care. Imagine, instead of being able to just parachute/slow down enough to touch down in water, you were instead forced to keep our landing on ground, else your ship would be turned to goo.

Ha. Well my first ever Mun landing I landed it perfectly, second attempt, came in too hot, and 3rd was perfect again. Mun I feel I have figured. Minmus however... lol Don't be, he's still there safe and sound (and probably starved to death) on Minmus. - I plan a rescue mission, but I'm not quite the rocketeering master yet, so it'll be a while I'm still quite surprised Bob's luck didn't end in his death. He only has to wait a couple thousand years for me to mount a rescue attempt.

So, after much thinking, and many poor attempts, I managed to finally build a decent rocket to launch myself at Minmus for the first time. All was going well on my way there, I had a nice liftoff, managed to get myself into an orbit around it and was feeling pretty pleased with myself. "This is good," I thought, deciding to attempt a landing... Little did I know, it wasn't going to be the landing I had dreamed of. As I was landing, I decided to record it, for keep-sake, but the nerves got the better of me. Let's just say, it didn't have the greatest outcome possible. I had a little too much horizontal speed, and suddenly realised one of my ships landing legs had decided to snap off and abandon me, urging his closest neighbors (the fuel tank and booster) to join him on his mutiny. Bob managed to get (read: slump) out of his ship and taste Minmus air before he made his rather unlikely return home. "Okay," I thought, figuring I'd have enough fuel left to make it into orbit and get back to Kerbin safely. Applying thrust, I span wildly out of control, and in the process managed to rip off the parachute part I had fitted to see me land safely back on Kerbin. With no chance of a safe Kerbin touchdown, I went full throttle, wishing only to give Bob Kerman a swift and relatively painless death, but fate was too kind to Bob that day and instead opted to see him chase his runaway ship off into the sunset... Results of my first Minmus landing are below. Enjoy.

A couple. I don't tend to keep a large number of previous versions on the computer.
