Do something nobody has done before

[DaMachinator]

After having the main fuselage section of my bomber blown off by ground fire, causing Rapid Unplanned Dissassembly, I successfully landed my Mk 1 cockpit within 500 meters of the gun emplacement that destroyed it, gliding with only the two canards attached to the cockpit. Only one broke off on landing.

Does exploring most of the Kerbol system in less than 100 hours of getting the game count?

Check my sig for proof.

So. Not Sure. IF its been done..didn't see this in the Forums. 

I been to the Mun, Minmus, Duna and Eve.

However, 

I May be the first to circumnavigate Kerbin in a Bi-plane.

This is Valentina the First Female Kerbin to Circle the Globe in a open air cockpit...

4 days 2 hours and 12 minutes Kerbin time. About a week on and Off real time .

At one time i was all about getting around kerbin in under 40 minutes..

This time it was a slow ride..took it easy.

which is really more my style 

 

Anyways Lemme know..And if you think its a first, I would dig a button

GKz out

Peace

Also..Edit here....Thanks to the excellent Firespitter mod!

Sweet. Wanna keep going faster? Speed run!
Through considerable effort, I'm the first person to put a flag everywhere and return in a single 8hr sitting of KSP. It was nerve-wracking, but also intense and rewarding. If it sounds like fun, join up! Link

 

Edit: I just noticed you've made 1500 posts in (I have to assume) 2 months? Now that's gotta be a first. Rock on!

Almost 8 actually, I joined in October.

Well, I made my biggest mk3 cargo shuttle so far. It uses four vectors on the orbit and 2 in each liquid fuel boosters. The two SRB's are to give it a kick early on needed to reach orbital velocity with heavy payloads. I believe it's the first shuttle to launch a reusable Duna/Eve/Jool Service Module into LKO. It is named Yield - No way, after a Pearl Jam Album and Song.  Imgur Album

I don't think anyone has attempted a Duna³ mission in 1.1.2:

Here you go, the first-ever working Rubik's cube in KSP:

That's actually pretty interesting! How does it work though? Do you have a video of it in action?

I don't have a video, but I can describe it:

Each piece is attached to its adjacent pieces by docking ports. A face can be rotated by undocking its connections to the rest of the cube and rotating with SAS on a dry bearing under the center piece. I made a thread in the Spacecraft Exchange regarding it, that is the place to discuss it further and you can download the craft to play around with it yourself!

[Kuansenhama]

I made a plane powered by machine guns. Flew for a bit, but ran out of ammo fuel.

[strigon]

Ooh; I have an idea for this.
The basic principle I've seen around the forums before, but AFAIK nobody's ever actually used it for anything - mostly because it's incredibly inefficient, but hey; this is KSP!

[JacobJHC]

Ok I have just done 10 tylo landings in a row without refueling and returning to Kerbin in 1 launch for the first time ever. When the video finishes uploading and all that I will post it in the thread.  

[totalitor]

I tried to make a bridge to island. Part count is killing me.

 

 

[JacobJHC]

Ok I have done it. I am the first person to land on Tylo 10 times and return without refueling or mining in KSP with only 1 launch.

You are brave for attempting this. If the part count is malicious, might I suggest tweak scale?

Neat landers! Impressive stick-to-it-ness. At first I didn't notice that each landing was with a different Kerbal. Also, nice use of landing legs at 9:27! Creative crashing is a fine art.

I'm looking forward to your video on small landers for each planet.

[Stratzenblitz75]

I think I have another first (In stock KSP, at least). A completely reusable Eve mission:

I was testing new landers and have some pretty small one for the Jool moons, the issue is while testing my 5 ton Laythe lander the Kraken struck. Once I entered the atmosphere instead of slowing down I sped up to Laythe escape velocity and possibly a Jool escape trajectory. I also managed to get Jeb to spaghetti-fi and accelerate away from Tylo and Jool at almost 20 kilometers per second. But I'm getting there.

... That sounds awesome! Any chance you have an appropriate save I can play with to see if I can replicate it?

sadly no

[Kergarin]

As far as i know, this has not been done before

Made the stock Stearwing A300 a fully functional SSTO.

Don't ask why. Ask why not

As far as I am aware, this is the first single stage Tylo mission without stopping to refuel.  I mined on Tylo to refuel for the trip back home to Kerbin, and thoroughly doubt that a round trip without ISRU on Tylo's surface is possible on a single stage.  Barring physics glitches.  If anyone else has done this, or would like to attempt it, let me know.

 

Not one stage per se, but similar mission:

I have made landers for the video. Long story short the Kraken didn't like my tylo lander after it shot Jeb out of it on an escape trajectory.
