That would be AMAZING. It would improve game experience tremendously and it appears a bit more reasonable of a project to accomplish.

I opened an account just to let everyone know that I will lose my job because I am constantly reading this thread over and over again so that I will have enough time to play 1.1 in a few days

These are all interesting and valid points from everyone. I believe the future of the game will be determined by the gaming community. As long as people are willing to spend time, and more importantly money, on this game, KSP as a program will continue to grow and evolve. Whether this will be Squad, ex-modders or Electronic Arts (or any other organization willing to buy the rights) that will move this process forward is rather speculative. Also, whether this will be towards a direction that will not just satisfy, but also inspire, is another bet, perhaps even bigger. KSP is a successful business that may be generating solid revenue, but its success is coming from its charisma to strike certain chords to both public and developer team. As long as this equation remains, (i hope that) KSP will continue to excel.
