There is a nice little mod for that : http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/232908-chute-safety-indicator

I became accustomed to people modding a game before starting it the time, but modding before getting the game is new

How about lights:wink: (Preferably colored to indicate different sections) I always forget those.

Don't necro threads?

I use MechJeb. It taught me how to do an orbital rendezvous. Now I use it for maneuver node editing and the slap-on-any-surface remote control.

Doesn't that contradict itself?

In an experimental ISRU lander awaiting transfer to the mun for some tests before I ship it to Moho.

Having a landing and an ascent stage also allows you to leave extra mass behind and thus to build a smaller return craft.

How did you test it? In orbit or on the surface? Without changing settings KER will display the orbital values and they greatly differ from the atmospheric ones.

How about getting a Lab into orbit or to Minmus to earn extra science?
