  1. SPEED CHART ... Conversion and conclusions (Updated) I have calculated the given speed indication of m/s (meters per second) into some better digestible units, so people can better imagine what they are doing to their Kerbals (and mostly the crafts) in atmospheric conditions... I added Mach numbers for the technical intrigued. @PDCWolf mentioned correctly: "The sound barrier is dependent on the medium, this varies by atmospheric pressure (which can be modulated by altitude and temperature) so whilst Mach 1 is always the sound barrier, the speed in kmh and mph can vary a lot (1234kmh at sea level, 1060kmh at altitude, 5309kmh in water). Atmospheric heating mostly comes from the shock bow in front of the body compressing the air, not friction." 10 m/s 36 km/h 22 mph Mach 0.03 A fresh breeze in your face 25m/s 90 km/h 55 mph Mach 0.07 Falling from a motorcycle really hurts, gentle landing with lighter aircrafts 50 m/s 180 km/h 112 mph Mach 0.15 Heavy speed fines, take off speed light aircraft 100 m/s 360 km/h 225 mph Mach 0.3 Top speed of F1 race cars on the longest straights 300 m/s 1`080 km/h 670 mph Mach 0.9 Civil jet top speed, close to supersonic. Fighterjet in cruise mode 600 m/s 2`160 km/h 1`350 mph Mach 1.7 Fighterjet with afterburner, top speed SR-71 is Mach 3.3, "Turbo Jets" 1`500 m/s 5`400 km/h 3`360 mph Mach 4.4 Multiple supersonic speed, aluminium and mild steel melt due to compression heating in atmosphere, "Ram Jets", X-15 at Mach 6.7 rocket propelled 3`000 m/s 10`800 km/h 6`720 mph Mach 8.8 "Hypersonic regime", steel alloys melt, titanium alloys may still stay solid, "Scram Jets", rocket propulsion 6`000 m/s 21`600 km/h 13`440 mph Mach 17.6 This speed in atmosphere is not sustainable, 2/3 to low earth orbital velocity, "Scram Jets"?, rocket propusion, meteorites 15`000 m/s 54`000 km/h 33`600 mph Mach 44 This speed in atmosphere evaporates basically any material in seconds, fast meteorites 30`000 m/s 108`000 km/h 67`000 mph Mach 88 This is 0.0001 c, or a ten-thousands the speed of light, Parker Solar Probe at 86`000 km/h or 54`000 mph, fastest man made object ever 100`000 m/s 360`000 km/h 224`000 mph Mach 294 0.0033 c. Three-thousands the speed of light in vacuum. Not fast enough to get to proxima Any thoughts? I think we need speed conversion in the game at some point. Thanks to PDCWolf for some corrective input in the chart. @cocoscacao added to the chart.
  2. hey, i was wondering what mods you guys use for spacex-like parts? thanks!
  3. Are there any versions of KerbinSide that aren't broken on 1.6 and up? I really like this mod but I can't find a working version.
