What did you do in KSP1 today?

Finally fixed the flat tire on my road bike and so YAY, first ride out in two weeks. Yes this is KSP related--people should take breaks, esp. exercise breaks, from KSP--it's generally not good to keep KSPing every free break or moment you have (caused me migraines).

Well, first I built a probe to go study the sun at a distance of ~1000Mm

The Helios I undocked from its insertion craft and that's where the problem lay. Can anybody work it out? from this picture?

yup, I forgot that I would be needing to burn 'side-on' to the Sun, so more than half the solar arrays were useless.

A brief sacking of staff at KSC later the Helios II set off on its epic journey:

I'm never-ever using ion drives again, though! the two ion burns must have taken ~ 4 hours in total on 4x zoom. Fortunately I had some writing to be getting on with so I left it to crawl painfully slowly towards the sun in the background while I got on with work.

I began a new Laythe colonization endeavour, and put the first few smaller parts onto the surface.

I also moved my airship to Laythe orbit, but it's run out of fuel now, so I'm kinda stuck there until I can send a refueling tanker.

Landed my lander at Mun (Was coming in too fast and my landing legs tore off), planted a flag for the Terran Republic (FTW!) and then proceeded to launch my lander into the closest orbit to the surface on Mun.

Pretty awesome :D

Today? Today Jeb returned the Cuairt-1, first münar lander in my "campaign" game, from the Armstrong Memorial to münar orbit where he rendezvoused with Buzz and Harler in the command module, Fios-1. They then shoved off for Kerbin, leaving the Cuairt-1 behind as a münar observatory.

Once back in Kerbin orbit I discovered that I'd run the "cold equations" a bit too precisely... only had a tenth of a unit of fuel after our Kerbin de-orbit burn. Still managed to land within a few kilometers of KSC.

Sent up two of my deep space fuel rigs, rendezvoued them in order to transfer fuel, attempted and failed to dock and then I realised I'd mounted my docking ports around the wrong way........

So I deorbited both of them, and I'll try that one again tomorrow. My Kerbanauts are waiting in space for their fuel rig
