Sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to post a lil message of appreciation, as I installed this mod yesterday and after bumping up the exponent as advised, am having loads of masochistic fun with it. Thank you so much!

Greetings from a Kerbal newbie! So many accomplishments in here, I can only look forward to those exploits (landing on another planet, oh my @_@ Even getting a puny probe to crash on Duna was hard enough!). I am gonna tell the mission I'll never forget so far - without pretty pictures sadly, but I was too much in the moment. It was my first Mun landing mission, a few weeks ago. First act is, I guess, a classic : first kerbaled Mun touchdown and Jeb stranded with next to no fuel left because of the break burn. I was quite devastated but decided to send a rescue mission (basically a probe on top of a lander with more fuel and less accessories). It somehow landed 3 km away from the badass Kerbal, on the side of a crater. I will never forget the tension I felt as I was stomping the Munar surface with poor Jeb, falling many times around. And then... I discover the rescue module, lying on its side. It should have come to no surprise from the fact that I was still sticking legs around the small bases of what were basically space sausages back then. Not the easiest things to land. So here I was, with an horizontal module on a slope... And I decide to just "drive" it up there and try to get some air from a meager 7m/sec launch at the top and then go full-throttle. Well let's just say I am happy I was born on Kerbin in the quicksave-quickload era, as steering can be pretty darn confusing when you are rotated the wrong way. But I did it! - with fewer parts than when the module had landed though. I was extatic when Jeb was finally on a trajectory back to Kerbin. Stupid situation - awesome sense of achievement. Priceless!
