  1. Try getting a little asteroid moon to orbit Kerbanon, and maybe change the name and texture to be more stockalike? (i.e. procedural) According to the stockalike naming scheme I've seen, it could be called Aton. It could have a little asteroid moon called Lith orbiting close enough to stay in it's SOI.
  2. Yep, no need for reactors! Current tech will do.
  3. Titan! Or Venus. Both have their challenges, but consider the advantages over Mars: - Free rocket fuel! - No pressurized garments required! Furthermore, Venus has higher gravity and is easier to access, so no worries about low-gravity health problems. And on Titan, you can fly. Who doesn't want that? Callisto also works. Mercury requires too much delta-v, Europa and Io are too radiated, Ganymede would give you cancer if you stayed too long, and everything beyond Saturn takes too long to get to.
  4. Okay, that's awesome... You've really come a long way Daniel.
  5. I believe that Planet 9 exists and that once it's confirmed Congress will let NASA launch a probe to it on the SLS.
  6. It's because unfortunately most of the current people in charge of our government grew up associating "nuclear" with "weapon of mass annihilation" or "that nasty reactor that blew up and mutated people".
  7. Use VASIMR and nuclear! I have a Kron 6 mission plan laid out. Here it is: 1. Kron 6 launches, using VASIMR powered by solar panels. Jool or Eve gravity assist to throw the spacecraft into the sun towards Ablate. 2. Ablate flyby and VASIMR burn to use Oberth effect to get to Plock. Timing is key here. Do that burn and get the heck out of there! Maybe drop down an advanced unmanned lander? 3. VASIMR and solar jettison. Since you can't power them well beyond Jool without a huge reactor, they need to be ditched. Now use standard NERVA or a nuclear lightbulb. 4. Plock and Karen phase begins. Do whatever. 5. Get home.
  8. If you're going to do a manned mission to Plock, why not do an Oberth maneuver and flyby Ablate while you're at it?
  9. Looks good so far, but you should have a cluster of Merlin engines so we can make a Falcon 9. Also, RD-0146 and RD-191 would be good.
  10. Why is everyone saying it parks in LEO? It parks at EML2, this saves fuel. And why else would Orion be needed to get to it?
  11. Have you ever played Universe Sandbox 2? It taught me the following information. Planet 9 was originally in the solar system near Jupiter. Jupiter flung it out, and over billions of years it's orbit stabilized out there.
  12. I want NERVA. SEP is good for unmanned supply craft, but not humans. VASIMR is too speculative and too large for now.
  13. So are these scaled at stock sizes? Please make rescale mods optional and compatible. Also - No pics, no clicks.
  14. Guys, I've had a thread on this. Sedna is much different from normal KBOs, it's colder, and has a different composition. It may have active cryovolcanism! And why use SEP? SLS Block II with a Star-48 and using an Oberth maneuver is enough to get a 500kg probe to Sedna within 15 years.
  15. KopernicusTech is for 0.90, it's outdated and no longer supported. Please, don't make a pack that doesn't work properly and uses outdated mods. Also, Kopernicus Core was just Kopernicus planets held together by 0.25 RSS.
  16. I can help design Kron 6, I also have made a logo for it:
  17. KerbalKonstructs, which this mod depends on, was broken by 1.0.5. Sorry!
