It's not completely clear whether kerbals can only gain one set of experience per celestial body throughout their career, or one per mission (with no repeats). Say a kerbal goes and orbits the Mün one time. Fly by its two points, orbit is three, so they get three points. Can they do another fly by as a separate mission to get those two points? If they come back and land, do they only get two points for the landing mission? - Politas (talk) 00:12, 24 December 2014 (CST)
