Trying to formulate the most lore accurate and practical timeline of milestones on the Kerbals' journey to the stars for a passion project that only has a slightly higher chance of happening than a finished ksp2. Ideally it would be based on the in-game missions and how a typical player would progress, maybe with some real life inspirations, starting from the first suborbital flight to interstellar colonization. Feel free to chime in because frankly I don't know what I'm doing.

They're supposed to be some short rapid fire scenes so no need to go into too much detail.
So far the rough list is:

  1. First suborbital space walk
  2. First satellite
  3. Mun landing
  4. Kerbin orbital station + first reusable spaceplane
  5. Interplanetary probes + duna rovers
  6. Permanent mun station/base
  7. Crewed duna mission
  8. Duna colony/terraforming
  9. Joolian moon colonies
  10. Eve floating colony
  11. Large scale Moho mining
  12. Eeloo outpost
  13. Interstellar ship construction over Laythe or Vall
  14. First interstellar fleet
  15. Exponential colonization and expansion
  16. Megastructures/orbital rings/Dyson spheres
#

Some can be switched around, and I still need some smaller details to fill between the later entries

#

Of course keeping the trend of exponential growth

#

Also suggestions for cool shots not directly tied to progression are welcome

#

Lime a probe burning up in jool or sth

I'm also debating that

A Dyson sphere should be unlikely before interstellar, but planetary/moonar ring or space elevator isn't that far off
