My first KSP video:

I used the amazing new kOS Scriptable Autopilot system mod: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/47399-kOS-Scriptable-Autopilot-System-0-5

The potential for this mod is immense!

Hmmmm. Could I program an entire Duna mission with this? As in, set it up, leave the PC (recording ) and come back and it's all done?

In the future, potentially. Right now it's missing a few key commands, like knowing exactly where you are along your orbit or where the planets/moons are plus many others... but I'm sure those are coming. There are also many bugs to work out. But even in its preliminary state, you can do a lot.

This was very cool and it inspired me to make this similar thing:

Which is sort of the same idea but my goal was instead of mimicking the Curiosity deployment to make some sort of generic lander script that could be used for any future craft I make. I intend to edit and refine it as KOS gives me more features until it's a be-all end-all lander script. Right now it doesn't do parachutes simply because KOS doesn't provide a way to query the parts on the craft and have the program "learn" if there's any parachutes and where they are. That's a feature I'd love to have - the ability to iterate over the craft's parts list and activate parts without them being in action groups. But there's other things KOS script needs dealt with sooner than that so that will have to wait.
