How to get to Duna!

First off, I have to say I'm impressed that that worked out so well. I try reaching Duna using all sorts of calculations and junk and it seems to be way more difficult than you just winging it. So props on that!

That said, I find the video is very short on crucial information. Two of the main challenges of getting to Duna are building a craft that packs enough dV and launching at the right window--precisely the two things that you spend the least amount of time talking about. If you are not going to discuss craft-building in any depth, I would suggest not bothering to show the VAB at all. In addition, just by watching your video, I don't think anyone would be able to accurately gauge an appropriate phase angle for the ejection burn; it is very unclear where Duna is in relation to Kerbin while watching the video. It is only shown for a split second, and at an odd angle. Consider giving a rough estimate (45 degrees) to help viewers better understand the planetary alignment.
