Your most proud moment in KSP...

[iStickyDuck]

Lots of people do lots of things in KSP and some of those things are amazing and the creators must be proud of them.

What have you done in KSP that you are most proud of. This could be anything from establishing a space station, sending a ship on an inter-stellar voyage or even establishing a base on each of the different planets and moons.

I want to know what you've done that you are most proud of. If you can, an image might be nice too

I am most proud of my first Duna landing! It didn't happen too long ago but the reason I am so proud of it is because it's the first time I have successfully launched a ship to another planet and, also in that same mission I landed a functioning probe too.

*Proudest.

Sincerely, it has to be my first mun landing back in 0.13.3.

Didn't know sh*t about orbital mechanics; didn't have patched conics, landing gear, lights, or MJ to guide me.

Somehow, I managed to land our favorite trio on the surface of the Mun.

There wasn't much to do on the surface: No science, no rovers, no EVAs, no probes... So I took off after calming down, and finally landed them back on Kerbin.

My first interplanetary trip to Duna (unmanned)

[AletzN1]

That would be landing 16 landers on the mun without failing... In a row!.. Without post-crash quickloads!

[Lombaxy]

Probably when I went to Ike (Duna's moon) and landed with tons of left over fuel. So i went from Ike to Duna, it was my first time going from one place to another off of Kerbin.

[Frafor]

My first orbital docking, I felt like the guys at NASA when the Curiosity landed.

[Geschosskopf]

Getting this to LKO:

The small front part is the D'OH, a Kethane-electric hybrid plane that flies very well on Duna. The design process made heavy use of HyperEdit to test its flight properties on Duna. Then I realized I had to get it off the ground to start with, which proved an equal challenge. Countless fails with vertical rocket launches having finally convinced me that wasn't going to work, I finally bit the bullet and tried it as a spaceplane. Many fails later (as usual for me with spaceplanes), the above pic shows the successful result. It weighs 32 tons (15 of which is the D'OH payload) and takes over 15 minutes to reach the switchover point from jet mode to rocket mode, but it works. Getting the damn thing off the ground was at lest as hard as making it fly on Duna.

[Nimaci]

Constructing my Minmus Outpost with ~25 launches and associated surface docking over a week.

Looking forward to career mode.

[WillHop]

Docking 4 full orange tanks in to orbit without fail - I had never managed to get one of these things in orbit before and docking it just scared me. I only used it once but it's still my favourite thing I have ever done.

[Demobot]

Most proud moment? Probably achieving my first orbital docking maneuver. It was tempered somewhat by the fact that moments prior I smashed through one of the station core's solar panels, but still, very proud.

[Penguinhero]

my first ssto to orbit, except i lost the save and now cant build another ssto for my life, so yeah........

[TheIncredibleDalek]

Completing my first-ever Orbital Rendezvous and docking after having played KSp for 200+ hours :3.

[British_Rover]

My first instrument only landing. Just using the enhanced mecjeb readouts I put my proof of concept kethane explorer into the bottom of a very deep munar creator in total pitch blackness.

[Whackjob]

This thing is what I'm proudest of at the moment.

#EDIT: This was a very very close second:

[JazzXP]

For me, my first successful docking mission. First attempted with things that were far too heavy with LV-N's. Yeah, that didn't work too well. Then decided to make something light to test the principals.

[talonmadc]

docking for the first time, cause its probably one of the hardest things to do in the game in my opinion

[tntristan12]

Oh there's so many things I'm proud of:

I love my SSTO, the Sky-ORC. She's outdated, and could probably be improved on a lot, but it works and I've come to like it's appearance!

Or my Interplanetron, which has been the workhorse of my interplanetary fleet since 0.18 came out.

Or my beautiful, two stage Apollo-style lander, which has been used in not one, but two of my favorite missions, reports of which are on this very site.

There's my Kethane base, which is the first of it's kind that I've tried to build, and operate.

And finally there's this big robot walker that crawls along at a couple of meters per second, and takes forever to execute even the smallest of turns... But it's so cool!

[EvilotionCR2]

Making my first interplanetary return mission to the Duna. Doing a base at Bop currently.

[DisarmingBaton5]

Certainly the Curiosity-style landing on Duna. Not terribly difficult, but it looked amazing.

[Beeman]

So far, the most proud thing I've ever made was the very first successful munar lander I made in...either .14 or .15. Probably .15 'cause I'm pretty sure minmus was there in that version when I built this thing. It was hugely wasteful on fuel and what-not and I had three stages filled with solid rocket boosters at the bottom. There were at least fifty solid rocket boosters total and they only got me to probably...I don' tknow, probably less than ten thousand meters altitude. But I managed to get me the landy bit to mun.

I even screwed up my rendezvous with mun once and flung myself straight to minmus. Touched down on the side of a hill and immediately rocketed back into orbit. Pretty sure I did it wrong and wound up in a solar orbit but it was still good. Felt good man.

[katesp]

Getting a guy to the surface of the Mun probably

[AlamoVampire]

well, so far, the proudest ive been is landing a small unmanned rover on Duna, furthest I have ever been, and in a stroke of unimagination I named it Kuriosity, probably too excited after landing it XD

Definitely a "me too" post here. Figuring out that without landing legs, you could use a set of four outer engines arranged lower down than a central core engine, and use them as crushable supports. Those 0.13 Mün-and-back rockets were huge!

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

Mine would be. My first mun landing, closely followed by my first Duna landing

(I got my first orbital rendevous and docking on my first try, albeit via a slower method but I still did it)
