Veterans show your firsts...

[Westo454]

Back when 13.3 was the demo and before I got the game, I managed to (crash) land on the mun, with all three crew members surviving.

[EndOfTheEarth]

My first successful Mun lander glitched on return to LMO. Sadly, I lost the picture of it on the surface after a hard drive crash.

Later, I began sending lander probes about the Kerbol System as practice for larger missions. Then, last winter, my first successful manned Duna landing:

And about a month ago, my first successful manned Ike landing:

I don't count these as highly, but here are my probe soft-landings. Sadly, my original landers for Duna, Eve, and Gilly vanished in the hard drive crash.

Ike:

Dres:

Bop:

Laythe (still working on a targeted landing, but it was a soft landing under chutes and slowed by rocket power):

I sadly no longer have my oldest screenshots, but I will share one of my first spacestation attempt:

Not the prettiest thing in the world

[LaydeeDem]

I found my first plane landing back from when C7's parts were mods:

Alrighty then

First try at a spaceplane, July 23, 2011. It was a time before C7. It was a dark time:

First Munar landing, November 5, 2011:

[RRoan]

First thousand-tonne rocket to do a 180 within 20 seconds of launch.

[SkyRender]

That solar eclipse image on the Mun reminded me of the time I first saw that and thought it was a bug. Someone on this forum (very angrily, if memory serves) informed me that this was not a bug but rather a feature.

Anyway, my first Mun landing wasn't that successful.

Its immediate follow-up, however, was.

[Astrobug]

Oh gosh, looking back through some old ones now.

First successful space station. September 2011

November 2011, docking before it was cool. (Both craft were launched simultaneously.

First Munar orbit, from just a few days later.

[SwagBoiFresh]

First ever custom-built SSTO. Calling it the F-69 until I can think of something more mature.

Visiting my new station.

Returning from orbit, landing on runway.

[CONTENT REMOVED BY KERBAL GOVERNMENT]

I love my SSTO.

[Supernovy]

My first ever orbital rendezvous.

The target velocity and intercept markers make this so much easier in 0.18+

[Awaras]

My first rendezvous, back in March of 2012.

Then there's this:

(Don't ask...)

[blspblackdeath]

I got one more:

My first really sucessfull plane. :-)

[Luigibro606]

I did the first Mun EVA. It was... a little unorthodox, but it worked.

0.12, 30th November, '11.

All my other personal firsts are gone along with the old copies of KSP they were on. >~>

[Brotoro]

All my Kerbal Firsts in one image. All these guys returned safely (except for Desdin who's still living on Eve).

[Flixxbeatz]

First successful Munar landing and return

First successful interplanetary mission

First successful interplanetary landing:

[chickenplucker]

From the night when the release that added the Mun went live:

And because I was paying more attention to Nova's live stream of his first Mun landing attempts then my rocket...

[bsalis]

First K-prize (0.16)

[swiftgates24]

This is a time I wish I knew there we a screenshot button before .14...

[Brofessional]

Back before there were legs. Any landing you can walk away from, right?

[SwagBoiFresh]

First K-prize (0.16)

Ahh, from back in the good ol' days! I do miss the time when rocket and jet fuel was interchangable.

But not really.
