I have just created a new tutorial series on KSP touching on rocket construction, orbital mechanics and more... first 2 videos uploaded! I'd appreciate any feedback....

I try to keep LKO as clean as possible. Depending on the mission profile, I either attempt to deorbit spent stages or leave them in disposal orbits (>500km) that are unlikely to interfere with future missions. I have no problem leaving debris in a solar orbit, however. When dV is tight (for example, a Moho mission), I am less concerned with the location of my debris and more concerned with maximizing my efficiency.

Does anybody know about what time today's live stream (with info on.24/ asteroid mission) will be?

This week is "Space Week" in Israel. I just came home from meeting astronaut Paolo Nespoli of STS-120 and Expedition 26/27 on the ISS. It was a wonderful evening! If there are any kerbonauts in Israel, I'd love to meet up with you guys at some of these events, which will continue throughout the week.

I'm not addicted to KSP. We're just in a committed, long-term relationship!

Is there an alternate download source? The DL from github keeps giving me errors and doesn't work...

I never leave a Kerbal stranded.... at least intentionally. I treat Jeb and co the same way I used to think of my soldiers back in my army days. I will do everything I can to get them home safely....

1. Thou shalt honor the overlords, Harvester and the rest of the dev team, and pay for the game. Seriously. 2. Thou shalt never send a lone kerbal on a one way mission. 3. Explosions are to be expected at first. 4. The likelihood of Rapid-Unplanned-Disassembly of thy space station is directly proportional to the amount of work put in since last quicksave. 5. Thou shalt NEVER, ever, tempt the space Kraken. 6. Thou shalt add more struts. Thy spacecraft shall thank you, although the computer may not. 7. Thou shalt not kill. 8. Commandment 7 seems unreasonable. Thou shalt try to keep body counts lower than those in Call of Duty. 9. At minimum, thou shalt not kill Jeb. 10. Concerning 9, it is not really possible anyways. He gets re-incarnated when he dies.

I have recently started a science and technology blog. It includes a review of KSP... I'd love it if you guys would check it out http://universalscitech.wordpress.com/

oops... but good searching, you found the right article!

Is the translated title of this Hebrew language review of Kerbal in one of Israel's leading newspapers, HaAretz. I can't beleive how big this game has gotten! If anyone wants, I can try to translate the article later..... http://www.haaretz.co.il/captain/games/1.2118068#commentsForm-2118068

The only satellites moving clockwise (retrograde) in Earth orbit are the surveillance satellites operated by the Israeli Air Force. This is not due to any mission-specific reason, rather, the geopolitical realities of the Middle East. Israeli space launches head west over the Mediterranean so as not to accidentally provoke a war with the hostile neighbors to the East who could misconstrue a rocket launch as an attack.

I sometimes feel this way all the time :-P Especially when I gear the Western media discuss the Middle East! Don't even get me started!! (or get me started... Middle East Politics lesson, anyone?) However, I have most found it necessary to correct teachers throughout my life! This is an unfortunate statement to the educational system!

no asking for release dates!!!!!

Happy birthday Nova. I can't believe you're only 19 yet so knowledgeable and talented. I'm very impressed! You have a bright future ahead of you... Wishing you all the best and good luck with your project!... looks interesting... Live long... and prosper
