Are there virtual space agencies recruiting?

I hope I am not repeating this question, you can be sure I have searched in the forum, but in case this has been commented, I might have searched with the wrong terms...

I was wondering if KSP has virtual agencies like those you see in Flight Simulator. Two examples (that I have nothing to do with; I fly for another one, but as I am not advertising, I've chosen two random ones):

These virtual airlines have their website, routes, pilot roster, etc. Pilots perform flights and register them. It adds to the roleplay side of a simulator.

Many KSP players identify themselves with a name they give to their very own fictional space agency, but do you know of any of these virtual agencies like my examples in the context of KSP?

The names KASA and KSA pop up in my mind - I'm not sure where to find KASA, but KSA has a very active Twitter account: https://twitter.com/KSA_MissionCtrl

Not so much agencies as companies, you can find them over in the Rocket Builders subforum. (If I understand what you're looking for correctly.)

Mines is KSPA but I'm not recruiting. Here are others http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/77362-Do-you-have-a-space-agency-for-KSP

Thanks for pointing me in the direction I was looking for.

I am not (by now) interested in joining a virtual agency, but as I said, coming from flight simulation world, I am used to the strong foundation that exists in the world of virtual airlinies, and got curious if something like that exists in KSP.

My conclusion so far is that there is collaborative work, mainly in the rocket building industry. And as I guessed, there are also many space agencies, but not in the same sense as those in the flighs simuation, but just individual ones. Of course it is not a bad thing, it reflects the actual way people enjoy KSP.

However, I am curious about how a virtual space agency (the way I mean) would work. I might even think of creating one in the future. By now, I am not experienced enough, and I don't currently have the time and energy required for that.

If some of you guys do, let me throw this idea, in case some virtual enterpreneur wants to give it a try.

Think of it as a website with a pilot roster and some infrastructure. Like in the rocket builder section, there could be some 'standard' rockets for players to download, although they could make their own rockets if they wish. Some of these websites allow budget management, so the cost of rockets could be taken into consideration.

Standard missions could be registered by pilots, earning flight hours, etc. Such as 'station refuel', deliver food to Mun, etc.

Doesn't it sound cool? I think it does. But yeah, easier said than done.

Thanks again for the info!
