4) Kethane doesn't make altitude maps, only a grid for kethane, for the map you want you'll need scansat

Does the craft have to be fully reuseable? Can we just drop stages and forget about them or does we have to use that reuseable stage thingy mod?

Efficient (fuel) is something different than time efficienty For fuel look on ksp.olez.biz for the best phase angle and for time I dont really know, maybe kerbal alarm clock for alarms and begin with other missions? Also greetings from the netherlands, Horan

Really nice project!!! And in about 2 years I want to do a space and plane design study in the netherlands...

I had the same thing, and I just try to make space planes, You need to know some basics Here --> http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/52080-Basic-Aircraft-Design-Explained-Simply-With-Pictures But I found nothing else that really helped my designs, other than trial and error

I use mechjeb 'cause i like it more than KER. The windows are harder to read, but i like them. The autopilot is a little bit cheaty but in some cases it is very handy It is very reliable, i've just encountered a first freeze in mechjeb (today). I deleted KER because it freezes. I really like the pod with the strange eye in it. To be short, I think mechjeb is a lot better than KER

Pretty awesome, its almost driving me that I will do it too

Asparagus is that you have a booster in the middle and 4 - many boosters around this middle booster, and there staged and fuel lined so that a pair of the outer tanks give the fuel to all the egines and if they are empty you decouple them and begin draining the next pair. Until only the middle booster burns

How do you do this? People talk about this and so on but I never get it to work.

Yes there is, with a sort of light that turn red if youre alinged with the runway, but i removed when my game begun crashing

From another thread i read that is costs only +-9000 dv from the top of mountains on eve

B9 does have a lot of parts but you can throw them away after you installed B9. I think you need only 5-20 parts to get the cargo bays to work. If you have Texture reducer thing then B9 load also very quick.
