Age of Expansion →

Asteroids plague the Kerbol system. Some of them are a threat, others are not, all are interesting. Asteroids are a nice step between the Kerbin system and Duna. Exploring them could explain life or other scientific questions, such as the formation of planets and the destruction of planets.
