So I'm the following mods to be used in my game (0.25): FAR TAC Life Support Kerbal Engineer Redux Kerbal Alarm Clock KAS Docking POrt Alignment Indicator Crowd Sourced Science Logs TAC Fuel Balancer Distant Object Enhancement ToolBar Plannet Shine Enviromental Visual Enhancements Realchute Parachute Systems Atmospheric Trajectories (thinking about: Interstellar, Deadly Re-entry, Remote tech 2) What I am looking for is a mod which gives me a reason to set up satellites like remote tech 2 but for science. Can someone suggest any changes/additions to my list without absolutely killing it? Anything to lessen the likely hood of a crash is also appreciated. Thanks!

Hey I play KSP alot but I've found that I don't know what a few units are, I also Play with mods... E.G 540AU... what is that in meters? I've also seen some like 'Gm' and 'Mn' if someone could inform me as to what these are in meters/how to convert it it would be great!

I used to do that too but this was back in .15 when i still knew nothing so I would fire my engines straight down... I'd end up near escape velocity on a sub-orbital flight in an attempt to land near the KSC. Other than that I kept a small engine to burn constantly from re-entry to touch down to help parachutes if I want to be really careful with the ship... but this is KSP so I end up seeing if I can break speed records.

Oh that's cool! I like how they were able to create a whole universe around their childhood playthings. Btw thanks for the quick response.

So i was watching the Inter-stellar quest series by Scott Manley when I realized something... I have no idea where the original name "Kerbal" came from. Does anyone have any clues as to where the developers came up with this/found this? I've looked around but I haven't been able to find anything on this. So what I'm asking is if anyone has a link to a post which might tell me this or for someone who might know post here and let me know? I'm dying of curiosity now! -Thanks
