Also the comet 46P/Wirtanen is just emerging from its dive past the Sun on a path that will bring it to its closest point to the Earth in more than 70 years. On December 17 it will pass by at around 30 times the distance of the Moon.

Also it was weird that it shows duplicate parts except that one is painted and other is stock game.
I also don't see that in my game. If you have the steam version you can check to see if your game files are OK:
Quote- From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
- Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files... button.
- Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

Welcome to the forum, @PsykoloGG.
I tested this in my stock install with the flea variants and the contract completed successfully for all 3.

Brilliant site, Mate.

Welcome to the forum, @JustMeLosing.
If you want to embed images into your post you should use a direct link - one that ends with the actual file name and file type. Whole Imgur albums will not embed.
Good luck with the challenges.

Unfortunately your processor is not really up to the task, even if you switched the OS.

Welcome to the forum, @Fluffy crocodile.
Perhaps you could post your system specs and operating system to get some good advice on how well KSP will run on your machine.

NASA has announced it will live stream* the InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission landing on Mars at approximately 3 p.m. EST Nov. 26.
There are to be about 80 official "Landing Event Watch Parties" taking place around the world (none in Australia ) listed here: https://mars.nasa.gov/insight/timeline/landing/watch-in-person/
Full list of websites broadcasting the event: https://mars.nasa.gov/insight/timeline/landing/watch-online/
* For the pedantic: There will be signal delay.
QuoteLaunched on May 5, InSight marks NASA's first Mars landing since the Curiosity rover in 2012. The landing will kick off a two-year mission in which InSight will become the first spacecraft to study Mars' deep interior. Its data also will help scientists understand the formation of all rocky worlds, including our own.
InSight is being followed to Mars by two mini-spacecraft comprising NASA’s Mars Cube One (MarCO), the first deep-space mission for CubeSats. If MarCO makes its planned Mars flyby, it will attempt to relay data from InSight as it enters the planet’s atmosphere and lands.
InSight and MarCO flight controllers will monitor the spacecraft's entry, descent and landing from mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, where all landing events will take place.

JAXA has successfully retrieved a capsule of protein crystals grown on the ISS for medical research.
QuoteCapsule with ISS experiments aboard is recovered after splashing down into ocean near remote island
- Nov 11, 2018
A capsule ejected from a space cargo vessel returned to Earth on Sunday, bringing back experiment samples from the International Space Station (ISS) in the first such mission for Japan.The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said the capsule, measuring 84 wide and 66 cm high, made a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific near the island of Minamitorishima early in the morning and was retrieved later in the day.
“I think we’ve succeeded almost as planned,” Hirohiko Uematsu, technology director of JAXA, told a press conference at the agency’s Tsukuba Space Center in Ibaraki Prefecture. “Japan has obtained the technology that is essential for us to move forward.”
JAXA is now aiming to develop a new capsule that can return home without being assisted by a space vessel, while the success of the latest mission is also expected to help in the development of Japan’s own spacecraft for manned missions in the future.

This is a fairly stupid question, so it does not deserve its own thread.

you folks are getting tired of the updates, I can stop.
Please don't, Mate. I love getting increasingly stronger doses of Bennu on a daily basis.
I would also like to know a little about what inspired you to become involved in space exploration and what it feels like to see OSIRIS REx really starting to perform it's mission.

Welcome to the forum, Mate.
Congratulations on the career choice. If you can get someone to pay you to do something you love you have won half the game of life.

Welcome to the forum, @0hr-9am, and G'day from Australia.
With regards to the temp survey, no, it does not need to be manned. I'm not sure if you are using navigation - In the map view left click on one of the survey markers and select 'activate navigation'. A new marker should appear on your navball - head towards it and you should get a flashing notification when you are in the test area.

Airbus, on behalf of ESA, has dispatched the first European Service Module for Orion to Kennedy Space Center.
QuoteBremen, 02 November 2018 – Airbus will deliver the first European Service Module (ESM) for NASA’s Orion spacecraft from its aerospace site in Bremen, Germany on 5 November 2018. An Antonov cargo aircraft will fly the ESM to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. This is the result of four years of development and construction, and represents the achievement of a key milestone in the project. ESA selected Airbus as the prime contractor for the development and manufacturing of the first ESM in November 2014.
The ESM is a key element of Orion, the next-generation spacecraft that will transport astronauts beyond low Earth orbit for the first time since the end of the Apollo programme in the 1970s. The module provides propulsion, power and thermal control and will supply astronauts with water and oxygen on future missions. The ESM is installed underneath the crew module.
“The delivery of the first European Service Module for NASA’s Orion spacecraft is a hugely significant moment, and NASA’s ground-breaking deep-space mission is continuing to pick up speed. Very soon, the crew module and the service module will come together for the first time at Kennedy Space Center, and integration and testing can then begin,” said Oliver Juckenhöfel, Head of On-Orbit Services and Exploration at Airbus. “Working on the Orion project has cemented our exceptional, efficient and close relationships with our customers, ESA and NASA, and with our industrial partner, Lockheed Martin Space. We are committed to further reinforcing the trust that ESA and NASA have already placed in our know-how and expertise when it comes to the development and construction of the first ESM. We have already begun work on the integration of the second service module in our clean rooms.”

If I understand both ideas correctly, these structures would be unable to maneuver to avoid orbital debris and would also need to be engineered to withstand high speed collisions.

I launched three more rockets today, for a total of 10 this month, a new record!
How many did you catch? This should become an Olympic sport.

I was quite pleased for the ISS when I found out NASA pays to deliver Sriracha sauce . I'd almost be willing to pay the same amount if my supply was threatened.

There are food standards laws in Australia that prevent this situation. An employer cannot penalize you for following these standards by law. You should look into the safe service of foods laws in Poland, Mate, as it should guide you in the right direction. I also hope you feel better - I enjoy black tea with lemon and honey when I become one of the infected.

NASA announced on Oct. 30, 2018, that Kepler has run out of propellant and is being retired within its current and safe orbit.
QuoteAfter nine years in deep space collecting data that indicate our sky to be filled with billions of hidden planets – more planets even than stars – NASA’s Kepler space telescope has run out of fuel needed for further science operations. NASA has decided to retire the spacecraft within its current, safe orbit, away from Earth. Kepler leaves a legacy of more than 2,600 planet discoveries from outside our solar system, many of which could be promising places for life.
"As NASA's first planet-hunting mission, Kepler has wildly exceeded all our expectations and paved the way for our exploration and search for life in the solar system and beyond," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. "Not only did it show us how many planets could be out there, it sparked an entirely new and robust field of research that has taken the science community by storm. Its discoveries have shed a new light on our place in the universe, and illuminated the tantalizing mysteries and possibilities among the stars.”
