Smaller probe parts. (CubeSats)

[SirJoab]

I love building small unmanned craft. I'd like to see VAB support for smaller parts. (And of course small parts to build with...) I'm thinking something along the lines of CubeSats. Such craft would have very limited use, but would be an easy way to reach planets for the first time. A little inspiration:

NASA CubeSat Initiative

I agree at first, but then remember that as an extensive user of probe cores, we already have enough of that.

Since the Xenon propeller has been overpowered, you can make very light probes with no problems.

You may object that Materials and Goo are a bit heavy, but I think this would be going over the CubeSat initiative scope, as these experiment belong more with the main mission, weight-wise (considering that CubeSat is supposed to be an add-on that can be carried if the main mission's payload is light enough).

Seriously, consider that a stayputnik, with batteries, solar planels, antennaes, thermo and gravio-meters is mostly made of weightless and physicsless parts, and your suggestion becomes moot until we have no more physicsless parts, nor massless ones.
