Option #3: Minmus + Pretty close by + Lots of flat surfaces, good for stable landings + Pretty + Mint ice cream flavoured - Slightly trickier to get to than Mün
Equipment - Pioneer Pod - Nuclear reactor - Greenhouse - Habitat - Expando-Tubes for connecting - Skycranes to lower into place - Wheels to position everything
Life Support Mod - USI Life Support - Nutritional Optimised Meal Supplement (“N.O.M.S.”) - Kerbals eat it and it turns into Mulch - Greenhouses can convert Mulch back to Supplies - But not all of it
Modular Kolony System Mod - Adds a bunch of features: - Habitation - Hydroponics - Resource extraction - Parts manufacturing - Designed for both in-space and on-planet colonisation

How I think people play 1. Get confused 2. Manage to not blow up a rocket 3. Manage to orbit Kerbin 4. Manage to do something “cool” 5. Repeat step 4 6. Watch other people play KSP
