if the planet where we explored have something we don't know yet.such as ruins of old civilization,unknow animal or original civilization .even enemy that will make the game more interesting.:(I know this is impossible appear in official game.BUT can somebody create a MOD contain this.(Forgive my ignorance:P)

Someone has a semi-persistent multiplayer (sort-of) challenge in the Challenge section, you can participate in that one--I believe they do it by sharing a "common" persistent.sfs file, it's already in its 76th mission I thank and based from what I've read/seen there, they're having lots of fun and the missions themselves are really challenging and can motivate people to really finish them successfully.

Did you know that there are "easter eggs" on the planets to discover? There are places to find even on the home planet!

I am told there is an asteroid to find too, but I have yet to find it. I know where it is, but I just can't catch it..

Ruins to discover? In stock KSP? Not likely.

I don't need a motive to play games, besides having fun.

Do you now the Mun of the red Planet? ( I try not to be to obvious and fail at it)

Haha, yes, I know where, but it still evades me!!!!!

And now we've got some basic sample return to do... (see my signature)

OK, enough shameless advertising

I think its in a polar orbit.

Here's a motive to explore: scenery.

+1 to OP

Visiting planets and finding easter eggs is neat and all, but once you've visited most of the planets and found most of the easter eggs, it gets repetitive.

The procedure for visiting each planet is basically the same, just with varying amounts of delta-V (a bigger rocket, or mid-space refueling, depending on your computer speed) for harder planets. Easter eggs provide a place to go, but ultimately they're just meaningless 3D models with no impact on the outcome of the mission.

I'm hoping the career mode will include genuinely unique challenges with practical rewards.

Imagine if your space program had a limited budget and every launch or failure cost you big money. Then one of your satellites discovered a deposit of melon-sized diamonds on the north pole of Ike, and you had to design a system of ships, stations or rovers to recover them, on a budget. Bringing the diamonds back would allow you to develop new technology to take on even harder and more lucrative challenges. Now -that- would be an fascinating challenge with actual consequences.
