Didn't even know that was possible!  Did you get any pics?

So busy concentrating that I didn't see it coming. And I was staring in shock for twenty minutes afterwards, so...

Dres wants to keep Jeb, Bob and Bill and has decided that he needs no more Kerbal

The SpaceplaneAddict's transfer burn is complete! (And it took like 2 hours, with a low-power (but efficient) nuclear engine and a 500-something part ship in 1.0.5 (I haven't got Steam, so no 1.1 prerelease))

My station sorta looks happy to be at Dres...right?

Ha, wasn't meant to be an entry but more of a morale boost for you Dres-huggers over here. I happened to have already been in the late stages of a pre-planned crewed trip to Dres and it was actually a happy accident to realize the research module I sent had a face! Immediately thought of the Dresophiles and dropped it here for you. Out of interest though here is the rest of the mission, you only saw a smaaaaaallll part.

 

Just for scale because tweaking can make things hard to compare, it's a 7.5m core on the main station, 5m for the research module, and 3.75 for the lander, but don't forget DS1 who comes in at 10m! Still need to shuttle the crew up to DS1 and if you can make out the 2.5m docking port on top it will eventually dock itself to the existing station around Dres once it gets there. 
Sidenote: I am going so big is because I use USI-LS and I like to make sure everything is more than covered resource-wise.

Just a little somethin' I found in Top Gear. Dresden.

I had a huge Duna mission planned, with a base, a rover, and a whole mining program, but I might just modify the launchers and send the mission to Dres instead. Also, can I use Simple Construction? I might not use it immediately, it's just in my save.

Edit: I wouldn't use Simple Construction on the journey, it would just be a part of my base to try and colonize Dres.

Dres orbital insertion is complete! The crew is preparing for rendezvous with supplies, landers, and base components already in orbit. Screenshots coming soon^TM!

Just how many missions to Dres are you doing? And how many have been successful?

[max_creative]

At least 20 ships in the two flotillas. Some are going to get replaced by imagination class interplanetary ships.

Dude... That is a massive amount. You sure your computer can handle the orbital calculations

No!  there's a reason the imagination class interplanetary ship has only 34 parts!

@SpaceplaneAddict - So now that 1.1 has dropped I am starting on my Dres Love Missions - Take 2

Not true. Part count does not affect orbital calculations. For example my computer dies at 20 vessels.

Here's one I did a while ago.  I brought two asteroids back from dres and soft landed them at KSC.  One with chutes and one with wings.

Here's the plane construction

and here, I reloaded a quick save and landed the asteroid on the VAB.
