  1. Have a separate ascent stage, so if the descent engine is destroyed at landing, you can return anyway. Mun- There are lots of craters and mountains, so when you are flying low and fast, be careful. Its important to be able to slow down fast enough to avoid the rims of craters. Minimus- Very easy, especially the flats. Beware of the near-vertical cliffs surrounding the flats. Moho- Same as the Mun, but twice as much gravity. You really might want two stages, or a lot of fuel. Leave a mothership in orbit. Eve- Very easy to land. A few chutes and a heat shield will make you drift down gently in the thick atmosphere, but some parachutes will overheat. You will need a very large, probably 3 stage rocket to get of Eve, especially if you launch from sea level. Gilly- No effort or danger needed. You can literally jetpack down to the surface and back. Ike- Like the mun, with 2/3 the gravity. Duna- Thrice as much gravity as the Mun, and a thin atmosphere. It is not thick enough to lower you to the ground with parachutes, you will still need some fuel to slow down your landing. Its only thick enough for drogue chutes to be effective. I recommend several. The air is not thick enough to require fins or difficulty during ascent, just wait a little bit before starting gravity turn. If landing from low orbit, you don't need a heatshield. Dres- Does not exist. Jool- With a ridiculously large rocket, you can descend into the air and return, but past a certain point you will explode. Vall- Like the mun but without mountains or craters to worry about. Bop- Same as gilly but bigger. Pol- Same as Gilly but bigger.
  2. @Angel-125 what's the latest version of this mod that is compatible with 1.2.2?
  3. I say it is worth trying to intercept, even though I don't think its aliens. We don't know if its rare, so this might be a very rare chance to learn about chemistry of other solar systems compared to ours.
  4. This is none other than one of the most recommended mods, OMP. No ring collision damage, sadly. I agree that OPM should be stock.

  6. I just realized something. There are now people born in the third millenium who are now adults. And JWST has been delayed to 2019 But we'll have up to 5 unmanned and one manned moon mission! This might be the restart of human space exploration! Goodnight. Aud lang syne.
  7. RIP 2017 2017-2017 FALCON HEAVY, HERE WE COME! Time to find out stats about the number 2018 on OEIS... https://oeis.org/search?q=2018&fmt=short Obviously, 2018 is even, so we don't have a prime year anymore. The next prime year is 2027.
  8. Its a joke. The big resistance ship looks like the infamous illustration of oumuamua. The Raddus. Has it moved out of hubble's range yet?
  9. All asteroids are technically a threat, do to random nudges and unpredictability.
  10. Yeah, how to you get the framerate number in the upper right corner I see in some screenshots?
