Your first screenshot

Sadness

What have u got on your new drive tho?

Oldest I seem to have kicking around is an Eve sea-level-ascent vehicle:

Much aero. Very streamlined. Wow.

My first screenshot is lost to the midst of time, but the earliest pics I have are here.

That's an awesome album sal_vager. Looking thru it almost feels like reading a history book.

Lol, pancakes eh? But credit where it's due, Eve ascent is still one I haven't chalked up yet* - I always have such good intentions and then find something else to do on Kerbin instead.

*Not strictly true - I've ascended from Eve, I just haven't achieved orbit.

And on reading it myself I realized it's not the oldest, the second craft I posted was this one.

The first was a modded craft, and while the thread is gone, this pic remains.

As it happens, I still have a screenshot of my very first orbit -- though as it has gone through two computers and a now-defunct hosting site, I no longer have a date for it. Was back in the 0.8 era, though.

I had some trouble with Windows hiding or losing my earliest screenshots, and I never found them. This is my oldest surviving screenshot. 

[The_Rocketeer]

@Vanamonde still pretty old! For a second those lens flares had me thinking I was looking at an early incarnation of Jool

[Ultimate Steve]

I joined in 0.19, and my two earliest screenshots are

1) something exploding

and

2) my first mun landing.

interesting...mine are probably pretty much the same, now deep in my overcluttered documents folder.

Let's see let's see!

It's really fascinating seeing the moments of KSP that people first decided to record, and seeing the various crafts that folks had slung together in their noobish naivity unenlightened undeveloped Kerbal infancies.

The earliest screen shot I have is from my main save, which was created less than a year ago. However, I've been playing for about 2 years, so it's obviously not the first. That one was unfortunately lost to oblivion via PC upgrades and a hard drive corruption.

This one is still quite beautiful.

[SchweinAero]

This was one of the first suborbital flights in my longest-running sandbox save. The engine stopped firing and I had to EVA to investigate.

Turns out it was out of fuel.

My first ever KSP screenshot, taken in the demo before I bought the full game. Probably around version 0.20 early 2013.

It was my first intact Mun landing and the feeling was the single greatest moment in my gaming history!

Here are also 900 old KSP pics, not my more recent craft though: MANY OLD KSP PICS

Screenshot0 dated 12.01.2013 for KSP 0.18 is an high speed intercept of some type, I guess Moho as it predates asteroids.


Second two days later is an IVA scene who makes no sense, next is an docking tutorial. Guess the IVA is from it too.

Followed by an successful docking who is better than an rapidly expanding cloud. 

Fast forward 3 weeks and I landed an rover on Gilly

Loved that mod, an small probe rover before we had stock wheels. 

This is probably my second Eve mission the first managed the epic action if crashing with Gilly with 3 crafts

This is pure nostalgia, looking back on landing an probe close to the kraken and dying hitting Jool surface.

It was 0.23, and I hadn't yet figured out how to switch back from the cockpit view. So used to Orbiter, I started wailing at the function keys, and snapped this completely uninteresting photo:

[StrandedonEarth]

This seems to be the first screenshot I have, from KSP 0.23, although I started playing in 0.22.

The first one (screenshot0) has been taken by chance in 1.0.2, while pushing the F keys out of curiosity :

But the first desired screenshot is that one : 

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

The first Screenshot that actually shows something

Into the unexpected! I don't think anybody going to Minmus after Mun expect it to be so easy!

@LordFerret ah yes, the giant Mystery Goo experiments. I'd almost forgotten... anyway, is that the southern ice-cap or the northern?

 

It was the northern ice cap. A suborbital flight, I hadn't even made a successful orbit of Kerbin yet.

Heheh, "decided".  Here's my first:

An accidental and terribly-lit shot of some little probe craft from .19.

[Alshain]

This is NOT my first screenshot, but it's on of the oldest one I have saved. (Notice that is not the Mk2 parts )

this is my first screenshot in my facebook photo gallery called "Kerbal Space Program"... when i check the design of the lander i'm completley sure that this is an early build of mine. it was 0.23.5 and worked very well. i think i will recreate that for nostalgia. otherwise i still have the craft and the save

[KnutG]

My first Screenshot was from my first rocket they flew my Jeb in to Kerbinorbit. This was in April 2013 (I woundered why nobody else has a first Screenshot from the launch pad..)

[The_Rocketeer]

I like this whole thread so much I have no likes left for no more likes for the thread!

Some really awesome responses, thanks for sharing!

[proxyde]

Here is my first screenshot, from Feb 2014 (my brain seems to remember that was version 0.19?).  Somehow I was able to make a planetary rendezvous with Eve back before I learned anything about orbital mechanics.  Eve was the first planet I visited, and the thrill of discovery was fantastic!

This shot is during an aerobraking maneuver, and the green and purple atmospheric effects paired with the plasma heating around my spacecraft made me feel like I was visiting a truly alien world.

[moogoob]

Well, inspired by this thread, here's my first intentional screenshot.

I... have come a long, long way in rocket design since then. Look ma, no fairings! As well, the screenshot following this one depict the beginning of the ascent, complete with 10-15km 45 degree "gravity turn" like we all used to do in the soup-o-sphere.
