Hahaha, loving the acronym "JUICE", who came up with that stuff? So ESA awarded a prize of 400M dollar to a joint venture with Airbus, but this number seems a lot smaller than the budget allocation from NASA for their Europa mission. I assume Airbus will pour in a lot of money (great advertisement if their mission succeeds), but what's their overall budget?Also, I can imagine both NASA and ESA to both send a lander to Europa and have it all devolve into an extraterrestrial version of Robot Wars on the moon's surface.

Are there plans to prevent the accumulation of additional debris? You know, preventing instead of healing.

Yeah, life support would be cool! I think adding the need for food supplies to be delivered to, say, a space station, would add some cool realism. What might also be fun is having a limit on the amount of time a Kerbonaut can spend in space before he/she goes insane or simply dies. The limit would be determined by the XP of the Kerbonaut, with higher XP meaning that he/she could spend a longer time in space before getting messed up.

Yeah, I am. I'm from Utrecht University though. Why, what would you like to know?Thanks for the warm welcome! As soon as I'll have some viable design, I'll make sure to post it. I've been messing around with other people's designs, but I'd rather come up with my own interplanetary-worthy creation.

It might be that it captures some of the 'stickier' organic molecules, but I don't see it capturing any nitrogen.And it has also been postulated that some of the atmosphere might be condensing onto Pluto itself, leading to decrease in atmospheric, so it might not be that all of it just flies away.

Hi everyone, I'm a chemistry student with a passion for all things space-related. I'm from The Netherlands, but I currently reside in Michigan, where I'm doing an internship before finishing my studies. I have been playing KSP for about a year now, and I've visited this forum on-and-off until I decided it was time to get a bit more active! I've been flying around to some of the more obvious targets (Eve, Duna, Jool) in Science Mode, but a while ago it seemed like a good idea to start a Career Mode game to spice things up. I'm now totally caught up in the process of building a viable SSTO for a visit to Laythe, which so far has had mixed results. That's about it, I'll see you around on the forum I guess!
