Yep they can swim, willing to swim him across the ocean back to KSC?

Caves have been found by the Lunar Recon Orbiter. There have even been ideas of sending small rovers to just explore them.

I thought Pol was bigger than Bop, interesting.

Hope everything goes well for this mission. Can't wait to see those ground pictures (if China releases them). Maybe the US will want to send a Moon ground mission as well after seeing this happen.

I would imagine they would get along like the astronauts of Apollo 12, as a group of the "original 3" who trained and worked together for a long time. Watch that episode of "From the Earth to the Moon" for what I'm talking about.

Personally I was surprised as well. I'd prefer to start with probe parts only. If kerbals need to be used in the Tier 0, perhaps allow some rudimentary plane parts to fly kerbals to recover probes that came back from space.

It's a good start. Like every mod, it'll be refined with all the feedback from players.

I use a heat shield like you. Jettisoning it after parachute deployment. Well done building the payload upside down like a real rover mission. Usually I just build from top to bottom and flip the rover for landing.

Impressive. Most impressive.

It's a race with MAVEN

All these biomes should show up on the "info" tab in Map view when you find them, so you can keep track of which areas are left to explore.

I suggested this before but haven't seen an answer yet, is there a chance Auroras / northern lights could be implemented? Would be awesome.

Does this put the Moon at the real Earth-Moon distance?

Another mod that should be stock. P1t1o - The big eye is from a robot in the game "Portal".

I've never tried this but I heard it is fun to do with family/friends. There's a cache on the ISS as well: http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC1BE91_international-space-station?guid=611d0635-a1cf-41bc-a0cc-a6038ae288d5

Could a mod like this be used to show a satellite's reflection that could be seen from the ground? For example, the site below gives you the times you can see the ISS in evenings/mornings where it is overhead, dark, and it reflects light from the sun: http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/ No idea if this is within the capabilities of this mod, but it would be a neat addition.

There is, it's called "Pepakura" and it works with many types of 3D files. KSP's models used to work before 0.16 until the new file system was implemented. If there's a way to legally get models from KSP, I would enjoy making further papercraft models available for all.

I would also like 3D models of ships or parts to make papercrafts, like this one: http://www.paper-replika.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7586&Itemid=200743

Persistence in 0.14, planets in 0.17, docking in 0.18

Hopefully this scares Congress into putting more funding to NASA.

I also use both cloud mods. It's a nice combination. No issues so far.

I haven't seen the video but it may just be a bug report video. Maybe it's a media video that is awaiting approval like you said. I'm sure the user wants to play it safe and check with Squad first.

Very interesting mod. Are there plans to allow EVA kerbals to use a "welder" to merge parts on launched ships? This would be VERY useful on space stations.

Great mod so far. Suggestion: Northern lights at the poles.
