LUDLONG KERMAN'S MISSION LOG: Y34D155 - 2H15M (NEPTUNE I) While our space program still sucks at SSTOs, our reserve kerbalnauts are demanding we send people to Laythe. After all, if the Elegail rover is reporting an atmosphere similar to Kerbin's, then it would make a good place to settle. Though our engineers are still working on a feasible method to get people on and off Laythe's surface, Mission Control decided to at least start expanding our Laythe presence - starting with: A space station We have a permanent contract to dock to vessels around Laythe. Return a vessel from Laythe orbit to Kerbin At least we can get a manned orbital reconnaissance mission of the moon with full science points (e.g. crew and EVAs, goo, materials). Too bad it wasn't a landing mission. The Elegail rover on Laythe. While Mission Control is constructing Odin Station - which would look exactly like Hades Station in orbit of Eeloo - the current general plan for the descent vehicle is to land on the surface and rendezvous with a separate return craft upon ascent; that may also be the case if we send an SSTO (which also means we'll have to leave the plane). All future mission plans aside, the three of us - Nathan, Matster, and myself - are flying to Laythe to explore the planet from orbit. We're in the Neptune I, a modified interplanetary travel pod designed to carry less passengers (we need 3 people, not 7), more battery power, and more science. In a couple of years, we'll be right in Jool's orbit. We'll then orbit Laythe and get some science and photographs before heading back home. If anyone has any ideas for a two-way surface mission craft (either a lander or SSTO), I'm open.

So this just happened: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-completes-study-of-future-ice-giant-mission-concepts I'm so excided! I'm already recreating the possible missions in KSP using Real Solar System. What do you guys think? (About the actual NASA missions)
