Even though the game is in experimental release, it doesn't mean the dev's know when they are releasing it. Some major bugs may come up in the experimental stage that need another weeks work. They tried release dates a while ago, and it just ended up causing more frustration when they missed it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stapp This guy survived 46.2g. From what i'd heard, as long as they are not sustained forces, people are able to survive quite high g.

After a day of trying, i've managed 601 m/s flying to a max height of 950 m. Could probably scrape a little more speed if i got rid of the ASAS, but it's a pretty unflyable ship without. Sorry to say, the flight ended with no survivors. <a href="http://s940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/?action=view&current=screenshot0.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/screenshot0.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/?action=view&current=screenshot2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/screenshot2.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/?action=view&current=screenshot3.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/screenshot3.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/?action=view&current=screenshot5.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/whatshebuildinginthere/screenshot5.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Not completely different. The current terrain engine essentially means that we can't have any overhanging slopes. So if instead, we had a large and very steep sided crater, we could inlay an object into this crater, this object being our terrain tile with a cave system.

In total, from hitting the small bump, to landing, it took about 6 minutes. Are the shadows the rover is casting a new effect? I've never seen them before, but i do have the game at minimum graphics settings.

I hope so. it would be quite good to have a rover building assembly or something similar, and then be able to take the rovers up in cargo bays i thought.
