9	* Recommended by: Tropers/{{Jake}}[[note]]Full disclosure: I wrote ''Fanfic/TheNextFrontier'', which is kind of set in the same universe.[[/note]], @/Mcnickel
10	* Status: Complete
11	* Synopsis: ''Before the Space Program, before Mainsails and Mun rovers, before there was even such a thing as a probe core, there was just a group of friends with a shared dream who refused to let that dream go. This is part of their story.''
12	** A sort of prequel to the currently rather barebones "plot" of the game proper, which gives the Kerbals a unique history and culture and turns the usual portrayal of their space program on its head by playing their [[NoBudget shortage of funds]] and amateur status for drama instead of comedy; after all, MacGyvering a fully functional spaceflight capability out of scrap metal in your spare time is actually kind of badass!
13	** Now has a tropes [[Fanfic/FirstFlight page]]!

20	* Status: Complete
21	* Synopsis: Kerbals, having stretched their arms across their entire system, now set sail for the stars. But upon finding a star system with dozens of worlds and hundreds of moons, first contact looks a lot messier than anyone could have predicted...
22	* Fan Sequel to "First Flight" (takes place in the same universe but in the future), with great buildup, characters, and with all of the sense of wonder that characterized the prequel.

29	* Synopsis: Gag-a-day webcomic {{lampshading}} and {{parody}}ing various KSP memes, quirks and odd game mechanics. Might just possibly be developing an actual story arc as of the latest strip...

43	* Synopsis: A short machinima film. While most of the Kerbal Space Program has its eyes on space, Scott Kerman dreams of exploring the south pole of Planet Kerbin. This film is like many of Nassault's machinimas in that it has a hypnotic, ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' feel. It's short on dialogue and rich in awesome music. Watch it for the line "Don't worry. Jeb taught me this."
