Have a look at my signature, maybe you'll find some inspiration there :) these bases were/are a real challenge to design, move to their destinations and assemble. You could try something like that if you haven't already.

*First, Build a Giant Space ship with tons of crew!

*2nd, put big spaceship into orbit of another planet, Duna, Moho, take your pick

*Build another massive spaceship.

*Proceed to ram 2nd massive ship into the first massive ship!

*Create Huge debris field

*Send out rescue mission to rescue surviving kerbals! (if any... also make sure you have lots of lights on, and go slowly through the dark debris field... like in the movies)

*Profit!

But I usually do stuff like this when i get bored with games ( not in KSP, not bored yet :P ) create a scenario, and act it out!

The Challenges forum can be full of good ideas for things to do, I find. Or even watching YouTube series out there to see what others have tried. For example, try running a reusable space program (ie. anything left in space gets used, and everything else is safely returned to Kerbin without destroying it). Or run a

to one of the outer planets (Duna is a popular choice for this).

Design new Launch System, new sky-crane system..etc

That's what I did back in .20, while I was waiting for .21 to be released, I actually made a lighter launch system and a smaller one that carries the same payload but with a less altitude ( 800 km ).

Also design rovers and stuff, to be ready for .22, that's what I do, but for now, I'm designing a ONE launch space Station and get it to laythe, then send landers in one launch, after that bring 6 rovers and attach them to landers, then launch one by one and make a base on laythe ( I currently have a base, but every module had it's own launch, ) OR try this, it doesn't take a long time, nor big rockets or stuff:

Make a huge base scattered around Minmus, Minmus is an easy place to get to, low gravity, you have flat lakes ( which helps you if your going to dock, that way everything would be level. ) and then start exploring it, build space planes there.. do SCIENCE!

I currently doing these kind of staff:

Try to play hardcore mode. I mean with these mods: FAR, Deadly Reentry, TAC life support, Remote Tech. Don`t forget the fairings. MechJeb is only for stats. No autopilot.

Hardcore with reusable mode. Think about Scott manley`s reusable space program and the mods above.

Than try to make the most efficient and realistic rockets and planes. Also try not to use F9 too much (in missions). Try to use mods to lover part count, make crafts more efficient and useful. Maybe multipurpose crafts.

Space station building around Kerbin with shuttles.

Limited parts, fuel, mass or cost. Make notes of your best stats and try to beat them. (part counter in LOAD window, fuel in "resource tab", mass in map mode or you can use mods.)

I hope I give some good examples and/or inspirations. :)

Try turning away from space for a while. (Did he say that?) Some of this has been mentioned above, but try things that you may have overlooked. Rovers, rocket or jet cars, boats, submarines, rocket or jet boats (I know, water tends to act more like neutronium in KSP for the moment), self flying planes, missiles, Kerbalnauts as warheads, gliders. Find all the easter eggs, plant flags and take pics. Of course, as others have written, take the challenges. Maybe you could build models, texture them and import them as mods. Your only limit is your imagination!

so i have been watching some videos and i came across someone doing a permadeath.

So i started a new save and when you start you get every kerbal from the kerbonaut building and when you run out thats it. i thout that it would be a nice twist. you could even set a certain amount of kerbals you have like 10 or 15 and once you run out you cant go on.

just thought i would share it with you.

"Can you get into orbit using only separatrons?"

Turns out? Realistically, no. Part count required would be five digits long.

#EDIT: Also, "How big a thing can you land on the Mun?"

Wow... That spidermech something in the last picture looks beautiful... How many parts is it made of?

That was a smaller version of the Arkingthaad lite lander, so probably about 700-800ish. Here's the other version:

It visited, in order: The Mun, Minmus, Duna, Ike, Mun, Kerbin. I got a youtube video up of me landing it back on Kerbin with a pretty fiery reentry.

I had the same problem a while back. Nothing you can do about it, in sandbox mode you have to set your own goals and if you don't have any, just do something else.

Also, enjoy your real life productive hours while you have them, when 0.22 hits you can fully immerse yourself in the challenge that is career mode.
