Things to do in KSP/Achievements

[Synapse]

Can we make a list of things to do in KSP? (not just career missions) I've landed on a few bodies now and running out of ideas. I'll start with the obvious ones.

REQUIREMENT: Must be a real tangible goal that makes sense

1. Leave atmosphere

2. Orbit

3. Flyby Mun/land probe on Mun

4. Manned return mission to Mun

5. Functional spaceplane

6. Flyby/land probe on Minmus

7. Manned return mission to Minmus

8. First docking/space station

9. Land a rover on Duna

10. Manned return mission to Duna

11. Flyby/land probe on Ike

12. Land probe on Eve

13. Flyby Gilly

14. Spaceplane to orbit

15. Flyby/probe to Moho

16. Flyby/land probe on Dres

17. Flyby/probe moons of Jool/Jool

18. Probe into Kerbol

19. Manned return mission to moons of Jool

20. Manned return mission to Moho

21. Flyby/land probe on Eeloo

22. Voyager probe (leave the system)

23. Manned return mission to Dres

24. Manned return mission to Eve

25. Manned return mission to Eelloo

1. Orbit a satellite at each planet polar/equatorial

2. Land a Kerbal at each planet and plant a flag, also return is a must

3. Mount a rescue mission

4. Rescue the rescue mission

5. Land a rover on each planet

6. Locate all the easter eggs in the game

7. Circumvent a planet either by land or airplane

8. Establish a base on a planet/all planets

9. Build a space station

10. Escape the Kerbal system

11. Crash into the sun

12. Crash into Jool

13. Achieve a docking rendezvous at solar orbit

14. Make and drive a boat

15. Build rocket cannons for fun

16. Drag race

17. Fly a Kerbal at another planet via its jetpack

18. Extreme Kerbal EVA (land and launch a Kerbal with its jetpack from Minmus, Poll, Bop, Gilly)

and many other things i can't think right now

7. Circumvent a planet either by land or airplane

How the hell do you do this? It would take ages and physics warp destroys all my aircraft...

*Cough* KSP CIRCUMNAVIGATIOR *Cough*

But anyways.

1. Make a ramp and jump a car off it

2. Launch a Kerbal by a engine.

3. Blow up

4. Blow up in space

5. Blow up on the planet.

6. Fly to space

7. Run out of ideas

Gosh, I can think of dozens and dozens, probably hundreds. If (and when) achievements get put into the game I'd love to see them pay homage where appropriate to the history of flight and space exploration. For instance:

• The Wright Stuff - fly a plane for more than 37 meters
  
• Gemini 8 - perform your first docking in space
  

Off the top of my head...

Build your first rocket

Build a multi stage rocket

Build your first airplane

Crash a rocket

Crash an airplane

Get a rocket to 1000m altitude/10000m altitude

Get an unmanned craft into space/orbit

Get a manned craft into space/orbit

Fly an airplane to another continent

Fly an airplane around Kerbin

Get a spaceplane into orbit

Get a SSTO craft into orbit

Land an airplane safely

Deorbit a manned pod safely

A whole bunch of "Fly past / orbit / land on (celestial body here)"

A whole bunch of "Return from (celestial body here)"

A whole bunch of "Reach x using less than y fuel/parts/etc" style achievements

A whole bunch based on past official challenges, eg "Using docking, build a craft in space composed of at least 6 sections and leave kerbin orbit (interplanetary mothership)"

A whole bunch of exploration achievements (finding places of interest, finding objects in space when that feature gets added, etc)

[Tw1]

Land from orbit without a capsule, Danny style! (or on Minmus with the jet pack)

Build a base!

Build a boat!

Recover a capsule by boat!

(I wouldn't be a fan of tacky little achievements, like flying for more than 37 meters. To easy, and trivial.)

[Chrisd857]

Climb all the staircases at KSC

Jump off the control tower

Build a working VTOL plane

Fly an air-breathing jet on Laythe

Build a submarine

[DChurchill]

Map every mappable body with ISA MapSat.

[orangexception]

Docking w/ Emphasis (Target > 1m/s)

Deorbit Debris

Setup Communication Network (6+ Probs w/ Communotron 88-88 in GeoSync Orbit)
