I finally got around to trying my first ever manned Eve flyby and return mission (and first time leaving Kerbin system with kerbals in general), using BDB parts. Even though the return trip took over two years (since I suck at return trajectories, not to forget I couldn't do a burn at Eve thanks to wet workshop) and the re-entry's gravity was more forceful than the IRS handling tax evaders ("I thought 15 g's stand for 15 grams"), it nonetheless succeeded thanks to Kerbal resilience.

Excuse me, but could anyone help me with following issue: Whenever I play any KSP save with this mod, Kerbin's surface initially appears in normal color, but over time Kerbin's colors become unrealistically bright (It is to be noted that this color bug only occurs when Kerbin is viewed from either space or the tracking station, the surface color itself is normal when landed or inside the atmosphere). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it just me or whenever I ignite the SRB's for the SLS, I cannot see any plumes from the boosters? (I use RealPlume, so I am not sure if this has anything to do with this issue)

Thanks a lot!

So according to the unofficial wiki for this mod, there are apparently foldable LRV and LM-Shelter parts in this mod, but I can't find them in the download. Are those parts are still in development?

Got one big step closer to my planned Voyager-style Grand Tour of the gas giants (Jool+OPM) today, as I successfully completed a Jool and Neidon flyby (And also a nice flyby of it's moon Thatmo) with a single probe. The comms issue also has been resolved with that OPM addition, even though the signal still is at merely 2% at Neidon (Better than 2% at Sarnus though). Seeing that I am getting familiar with the flyby mechanics and planetary alignments, I'm pretty pleased with this so far. Some stats: Jool: Periapsis: 2,182,911 m ; MET: T+ 1y, 52d, 02:07:27 Neidon: Periapsis: 16,509,917 m ; MET: T+ 6y, 347d, 04:38:19 Thatmo (Moon of Neidon): Periapsis: 500,315 m ; MET: T+ 6y, 347d, 05:36:16

For my very first time, I've actually managed to send robotic orbiters to Jool and Sarnus (OPM mod) and also perform flybys of some of their moons. Too bad I didn't know at that time how to improve my signal strength (I have a relay near Dres, but even that one was barely enough for Sarnus), preventing me from sending two more to Urlum and Neidon but hey, maybe in the future (Fuel is another issue, so yea)

That's because Neptune IRL has fewer moons compared to the other gas giants

Just building a small station to test artificial gravity systems near Kerbin. (That engined craft is just a crew module that carries kerbals to the station)

The glory of Duna, Ike and Kerbol, all in a single picture.

Second update for today: Got orbiters to Duna and Eve, it seems like that I may be able to eventually conquer the planets with my probes after all... And I still remember the times when for me, getting to Minmus seemed like an impossible feat... Duna orbiter: Here comes Mar....I mean Duna. Eve orbiter:

Sent and landed my first Minmus probe lander, built using spare parts bought at Walmart the Kerbal's finest technology, today. Now that I have orbiters and landers in all of the Kerbin system, it's time to explore other planets in my probe program save. (Basically this is where I do probe missions)

Today, I launched the Very Large And Effective Listening Device (Actual name) into Kerbin orbit, as requested by the Kossad secret service. (Dont tell the Koviet KGB though!!) Size does matter after all, these darn Koviets ain't gonna beat that... Nice to hear from you Koviets again!
