I think it's still buggy.

Take a look at the spacecraft I assembled for my current Jool exploration. I wouldn't have been able to put all that on a single launch, even though many of these sections could be scaled down. You don't have to put so much stuff on a ship like this as I did, and a smaller ship would require fewer fueling rockets before departing. But this gives you a sense of what is possible with orbital assembly. You can also see that the ship is pretty long and thin, but I've never had problems with wobbling. If your spaceship is built along the main thrust axis, I think it should be pretty stable.

I want procedural wings and procedural tanks. The thing I dislike the most about the tanks in KSP is not being able to fill a regular tank with JUST liquid fuel for a NTR. You get less than half capacity by volume unless you clip parts. Being able to make a fuel tank with whatever fuel and length you want would be great.

Longtime players will not get free copies of KSP2.

I had an SSTO rocket with a recoverable second stage that was pretty large. Since the booster could get to orbit most of the time, you could just point it back at the right time to land near KSC, but the descent was aided by parachute which is not entirely precise.

I just set the periapsis just right. Maybe I should do it on Tylo next.

I suggest watching The Dark Den on Youtube, he's known to reduce arachnophobia!

Get in a nice orbit that nearly grazes the surface, and do your landing in one nice continuous burn as you approach that periapsis. That's the most fuel-efficient way to do it, as I understand.

They would be in a different galaxy though! That's cool enough on its own that many players would want to try it.

Maybe the Kerbal galaxy could have a satellite galaxy like the LMC, but I doubt that there will actually be more than a handful of actual star systems in the game.

You can see the stars as long as you block out the Sun, Earth, and Moon from your vision. They're too bright and your eyes have to adjust to darkness to see stars.

This was my close approach to Vall today. I didn't mind skimming the mountaintops a little. A bit closer and Hanrigh could have scooped up a surface sample on a long pole! Anyway, the Vall texture revamp looks great!

I suppose the solar panels are locked in place while they're climbing on them?

that would be SN20.

hwoop

You'd have to steal energy out of it somehow. If you made it so the space around the black hole was producing those particle pairs that lead to Hawking radiation in greater quantity, you could accelerate the process. But this: sounds a lot like an impossible statement.

No thread lock here!

This book here: https://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/the-saturn-system.html some breathtaking views of the Saturn system. The first photo of a black hole, actually being able to look into a place where time and space end! The video from Perseverance's descent, but particularly the moment where the heat shield drops away and reveals Mars All the photos of astronauts walking on the Moon. Something I would really like to see but that I don't think has ever been photographed is the Martian orbital sunset or sunrise. And, of course, it isn't enough for me to just see these things in photos! I want to go to the Moon and see it in person! I would even go to Mars, and I think Mars exploration is one of the most important and pivotal things humanity will ever do.

Ooh, I'd love to see a hypersonic test flight. First Starship to space?

And so it will be watching Starship go to the Moon and return to Earth, and watching people step onto the Moon again, and going to Mars...

Think about how much we were freaking out over seeing something like that back in 2016. Now we get it every time!
