  1. My first version is 1.7.2 a year ago, and my first flight is building the wiki orbit tutorial rocket and flew it to LKO. Unfortunately I got into a elliptical orbit and is out of fuel, then I tried to land Jeb by deorbiting with his EVA pack, but he burned up. Then I reloaded the save and terminated Jeb who is stuck on orbit. After seeing Jeb MIA I deleted the save. I will post a screenshot if I have one.
  2. So this can recolor every stock parts except the DLC parts and the fairings?
  3. I originally decided to build an ion probe, but switched to a nuclear ship because the problem of generating enough EC at Jool.
  4. Read the whole proposal, and I found they said the probe will be launched on a SLS block 1b instead. And I suppose the reason for using SLS is they want to do it single launched, and cost is not a major factor in their consideration. Very cool nonetheless.
  5. https://mobile.twitter.com/CarlyHowett/status/1292887584243240961 Wow. Also how to embed a tweet? (Yes, I know this can be done far cheaper with multiple launches, but it still shows the SLS can do some seriously impressive things if the huge cost is set aside.) Two questions: Why do they choose SLS for the launch vehicle? Because this is just a concept? (I asked this question because I don't think NASA has enough budget for SLS launches besides those planned in the Artemis program and one for the Europa clipper, and I really hope this gets the chance to launch.) And I thought ion engines need lots of electrical power, is 5 next generation RTGs enough?
