Where are you going, and where have you been?

I have absolutely no business submitting a challenge, since I have yet to land on Mun or Minmus and return safely back to Kerbin, but I think it would be fun to see who can emulate NASA mission design specialist Robert Farquhar's crazy trajectories for the ISEE-3 spacecraft. Is there an add-on which tracks the entire path taken by a craft?

HALO orbit => Lagrange points shenanigans => N-body physics.

Cool article tho

If you want to keep track of your interplanetary trajectories - within the map view - there is no such a tool. Besides: Even when the track would be displayed, it's useless because the planets/moons/astoriods (in the future) are moving further.

But in the normal view (you can see your craft), when you want to observe your actions on a planet/moon or within it's athmosphere you can use a mod called "persistant trails". But think of the memory you use up using this tool over an long period of time!

BTW: You better have to place such a thread in

1. "Gameplay Questions and Tutorials" in regard to your question of an existing mod

2. "General KSP Discussion" in regard of your question if s.o. can or already have performed such type of a mission

because this is definitly not an challenge (look at the challenge submission guide please).

And please search each section before posting, it might be that s.o. else already have asked the same question!

there is a comet in the planet factory mod, just saying

It would be a nice addon to have in map view. I don't see how the track would be useless. You'd presumably have to pick what body to show the path relative to; say you do relative to the Sun, it'll be pretty obvious when the craft has flown by Duna even if Duna's now in a different place. The game is already capable of translating between reference frames, and I assume KSP Interstellar's warp drive does too.
