Is it possible to *move* Kerbol bodies?


Recommended Posts

Let's say that I decided I liked Gilly and wanted to make it Kerbin's instead of Eve's. Is it theoretically possible to fly over an enormous assembly, piece by piece, all upside down, and push Gilly out of Eve's orbit and into Kerbin's? I'm sure it must be physically possible, but I'm asking if the game is coded to handle changes in orbits of the Kerbol bodies.

I think that all of the planets and moons are on rails, so they can't be affected by the normal physics engine. Scott Manley I think once did a video on theoretically what it would take to move Gilly.

Edit: That video below is the aforementioned Scott Manley video...
