It might be easier to develop an "add-on" for ISS than making a whole new satellite. It might also prove useful, should it function so well that it would be able to redirect incoming debris that cannot be avoided otherwise. Also, the ISS is already scheduled for decommision and deorbiting, so no problems there

34 damn, you are fast

I feel it's related to Mars and its rovers. (Red planet, the part with water, rovers constructed by the best of the best, making rocks disappear with laser, sun powered...)

42 is the answer

That is hard to answer without getting biased. Right now, most of the stuff seems trivial and natural - rockets, spaceplanes, SSTOs, rendezvous, docking, transfers, gravity assists*, precision landings, you name it. But I knew a complete jack about orbital mechanics or rocketry when I started playing KSP, so EVERYTHING was new and hard. It was like learning how to waddle, then walk, run, jump... I'm pretty sure there wasn't a learning wall, there were several of them - it was more like learning stairs. The game itself is not hard to play once you know what you are doing, but figuring out exactly what to do for a complete newbie to the field is very hard. I feel no shame in admitting that most of my KSP journey was babysitted by various tutorials from people who have figured the stuff out before me. And I have no doubt that there is going to be a lot to learn in the future (especially new aerodynamics and re entry shock heating with 1.0, I have very little experience with FAR/NEAR and DR). *I still need a calculator when going for multiple slingshots, and that is probably never going to change

Virtual planes - took off, piloted, landed. Model planes - took off, piloted, landed (hard, but non-destructive). Real planes - never been in one. Yet. The user below me is currently hungry.

Knowing what it's like living with a genetic disease, I am all for it. My mom has the Marfan syndrome, pretty much the whole bad package (heart valve and aortal defects, problems with eyes, lungs, bones, joints...), and I have inherited the same thing. While I have learned to accept it, and it partly makes me who I am, it is one of the reasons why I don't particularly want an offspring - s/he would most likely have to deal with the same thing. If genetic modification has the power of sparing my children these problems (and many more), I wouldn't hesitate, and I believe my mom would go for it as well, if she had the chance.

Or just, you know, don't edit at all. Nobody is going to get mad if you post multiple posts, as long as you don't change your number in them. Editing just makes everything messy and not fun.

Should I really point fingers? The people I'm talking about know who they are. I know you didn't change your number, Dman. But I would still advise you to add an "EDIT: <stuff>" part when you edit your posts for whatever reason, just to make it clear what was original and what was added.

Alright, one thing: Do not edit your posts, gentlemen. We can see it, we are not blind. Read the OP (March 27 update), and think hard - is it really worth it?

Oh, too slow... 19
