After Kerbin and it's moons, which direction did you explore next and why?

[Jacob01]

I am currently doing Duna. I decided that I should do some kind of Project on Duna and Ike, so that's where I'm going first.

[Klingon Admiral]

I am still having fun within Kerbin's SOI ... there is always another space station to be built or a satellite to put in orbit.

And a proper orbital infrastructure should make forthcoming interplanetary missions easier as well.

[entaran]

My very first place after LKO was direct to Jool... on the approach to the planet, I HIT Tylo while in timewarp. I wasn't very good at nodes back then. Needless to say, Mission partial success, new Jeb clone needed.

I went to the Mun/Minmus MUCH later.

[ZeroTech Solutions]

Eve, Because purple. And I care not for the safe return of my kerbals.

[Scotius]

Usually i go for Duna/Ike after the muns, then Jool. Eventually Dres before Jool if i get launch window. But in the save i'm playing currently i went sunwards first (for challenge mostly). I'm mapping Eve now, Moho is next

[kookoo_gr]

My order for visiting the planets

Minmus->using scott manley's tutorial

Mun

Duna-> fascinated my its huge polar caps and because it's the Mars equivalent

Eve

Dres

Jool-> aerobrake->crash->F9

Bop

Moho

Ike

Gilly

Laythe

Eeloo

Poll

Vall

Tylo

[elkar]

I wanted to start colonatization from first planet so Moho was target, I was told I need about 6500 DV to get there, so I was confident, I got there finally with fine tunning my Pe to 400km, and then Ive seen I need another 3500 DV to break to stable orbit, not to mention i wanted to get back to Kerbin with that ship, so suddenly Ive calculated easily I would need not 6500DV but more like 13000DV.

And then, yes then, I was told that Moho is hardest to get to DVwise, even more than Eloo, so I had to abort that mission which means I havent landed on any planet yet outside of Kerbin system. I guess I will go for Duna, as for next target since its really way easier to get to.

[mellojoe]

I made Duna. A horrible experience that took 3 ships and 4 redesigns. So my mission to Eve was unmanned probes with satellites. success!

[Felsmak]

I first went to Duna and then to Laythe. They were both one-way trips, but the Kerbal on Duna was eventually rescued.

[ammonia_ocean]

Duna first, probably because I watched Robbaz's videos on it.

[Aragosnat]

I went inwards and outwards. Goal was Moho. But, mostly to get a comm sat around every planet and moon out there. Long lasting goal is Eeloo just so I can have my deep deep space Ion drive Probe ready to be launched out of system when and if we ever get new systems to explore. By the time it does happen. I might have a ring of them in orbit.

[ApocSurvivor713]

I went inwards first, mostly because my rover delivery system had parachutes only and I wanted to be sure it would survive, but also because my launch window for Duna wasn't for a couple in game months. Rover delivery system works fine on both Eve and Duna, and the only thing left to put it on is Laythe!

[wolfedg]

I set course for Duna, but ended up crossing Ike's SOI and landed there.

After a bit of mulling around, I took off and headed to Duna, but quickly realized I didn't have enough fuel to deorbit.

So what did I do then you ask??? EVA Deorbit

[Mr. Rogue Ace]

I went NORTH

[AndreyATGB]

I just ended up on Eve. I didn't even know about manuever nodes then, so it was basically just burn until it happens. Also, didn't know about radial angles. I just did pro and retrograde, maybe some normal by mistake.

[Dedjal]

My first trip out of the kerbal system put me on a solar escape route. No idea what I was doing and way to much fuel.

Then I went towards Moho a few dozen times until I understood the concept and managed to land on it.

I tend to only use probes and not kerbalnauts in my designs. Although, with the introduction of flags, I like to land and mark out areas that would be great for future bases. But Eve... Got too much gravity to make it feastable of establishing a base there.

Currently got a station hovering 2km above the sun.

[nerdboy64]

Even after Duna and the rest of the Kerbol system were introduced, I spent a lot of time screwing around with stations and SSTOs and other things in LKO. When I finally attempted an interplanetary mission, I sent a makeshift rover powered by ion engines and plane landing gear (because proper wheels weren't in the game yet) to Duna and tried to land it. To make a long story short: it crashed. Then I reloaded from a quicksave so it could crash again. And again. You get the idea. Now I've got two rovers and a stationary probe on Duna, but haven't attempted a manned mission. Just recently, with Macey Dean's requests for viewer-made warships, I built a cruiser and sent it to the Jool system. It's still out there orbiting Jool, on a very wide and eccentric orbit, completely devoid of all fuel reserves, patiently awaiting the development of a tanker with enough delta-V to get to it with some fuel leftover. Other than that, I haven't really bothered with the other planets.

[Millst0ne MK II]

I reached Mun, nothing there, made a conclusion theres nothing there on other planets, just different color barren rocks. The direction i went afterwards was play other games until this gets developed & gameplay is added.

Ah, but that's where you're wrong. You just didn't look hard enough

[MR4Y]

Last time I tried to orbit Duna, Mechjeb placed me on a crash course with it. I then did it manually with the help of the interplanetary calculator. I probably could try to land on Duna.

[tommygunyeah]

Mission was to get all the other planets, now wanting to travel to all the moons

Moved to outer planets first then the inner.

Wanted to see the Sun rise on every planet that's my inspiration, a perfect screenshot is all I want.

Honestly, neither. I have landed on minmus and I have landed on the mun but right now I just finished a 20 satelite launch to make a trans kerbin comm system. I haven't been able to build anything that could escape kirbin's sphere of influence reliably enough that I could get to anywhere and have a chance of landing.
