Kerbin has 3 moons

It's a typo in the OP somewhere because:

  1. The periapsis shown in the image is below the Mun's orbit (12,000 km)
  2. A periapsis of 64,788 km would be a periapsis outside minmus' orbit (47,000 km)
  3. An apoapsis of 188,000 km is outside Kerbin's SOI (84,159 km), but the image shows it under Minmus' orbit
    No, I think it's correct.
    Apoapsis = 64,788 km
    Periapsis = 188 km
    I agree the apoapsis looks less than that (inside Minmus orbit), but that's because it's well out of plane with them (OP describes it as a "slightly polar orbit").

ah, yeah I guess I misread that, but... it's still wierd...

im actually going to set up multiple asteroids in concentric orbits so i can jetpack all the way from lko to minmus, making refueling stops at each asteroid.

Make sure you have comfy warming huts set up at each rock. With lots of snacks!

wish I had an auto captured E Size, would save a lot of work

You are not the only one who misread the OP. To me 67,788 km reads as 67788 meters.
