I'm a relative newbie, so this is probably not going to impress anyone, but I was still pretty proud of this special delivery to the R&D Facility. No mods.

Took me a couple of attempts, obviously. First one in the water a mile or so from KSC, second in the grass close to the coast, then one on the runway (not exactly convenient to leave it there), then on the roof of an R&D building (which would have been great if the whole thing then hadn't tipped over, fallen off and blown up some fuel tanks next to the building), and finally in an acceptable spot on the concrete. Probably not the best skycrane to do this sort of thing with, it rotated like hell when I engaged the thrusters and then, once above the KSC, I had to be very creative to move it in any particular direction for the exact landing spot. While dangling from the chutes, full thrust for a few seconds so the whole combination went back up and started tumbling like crazy, then short bursts of full thrust every time the engines happened to be temporarily pointing more or less in the right direction, then finally let it come down again when it was above the right place. But hey, I made it and nothing blew up!

Too bad you only get science points for samples, and nothing for bringing in an actual complete asteroid. So I disconnected and recovered the craft while leaving the asteroid there. It did yield one nice advantage I hadn't thought of beforehand: it's now really easy to find KSC on the map since it's marked with the unrecovered asteroid!

Probably my favorite shot so far:

The essence of KSP: an iconic space scene photobombed by an upside-down astronaut riding a ridiculous-looking and probably dangerous lander.

Definitely dangerous, actually, because she got killed on this mission by trying to take off while tipped over in a dark crater. But at least she got good photos, and science. Also, I think I see Minmus in this image...

I've been playing for over six months and I haven't yet tried to bring a meteor back. So you impressed me. Great job.

I dunno if I've posted this one yet. The forum search is no help. Oh well, i still think it's beautiful.

Of all vessels i've made so far, i think i'm most proud of this one. This variant is capable of munar orbit.
