Good job! Some notes: * You shouldn't have been awarded the milestones for achieving Mach 1 -- these are blocked if the crafts altitude has ever exceeded a small number (14 km, I think). When you quickloaded, however, the "forgot" how high you had been in the past and thus gave you the milestones. These are trivial to achieve even without planes by simply flying a very depressed trajectory, so no big deal. To unlock the next progression mission, you will need docking ports and RCS thrusters. This will unlock the space station assembly missions. You have unlocked the DSC small pad -- but you shouldn't use it, or you will quickly go broke. When you launch a craft, you have to pay for the craft (this is the cost shown in the designer) *and* you have to pay a fee to use the launch site. The later fee is *in addition* to the cost shown in the designer and is only calculated once you select the site you will use to deploy the craft. The cost is $X / kilogram of wet mass, and the DSC small pad costs *much* more than the Ali Pad. So, unless you really, really _need_ the extra height and width allowed by the DSC small pad, you should avoid using it. The Juno pad is even less expensive, but the height / width constraints are tight enough that it isn't feasible except for simple, unmanned, Droo orbital launched. Also, note that there is a second launch pad at DSC (the "Large" pad). If you want to unlock *that* pad, you will first need to unlock the DSC runway, and _that_ requires completing all the airplane progression missions. Frankly, I've never bothered (the DSC Small Pad is to expensive to justify using and the large pad is going to be worse), but it's a thing you can do.

Hey! Thanks! And thank you for that long explanation comment. Yeah, I sometimes notice strange things with milestones related to speed. But I never paid much attention to those. I have unlocked the space port contracts by now (look out for the next videos on this channel 😎). Yeah the cost is a big factor, but fortunately, I have never run into financial issues (yet).
