    Me as a kerbal is Andrew W. Kerman, named after Ender's Game. I play the trumpet. I play KSP, I wish KSP2 had been playable, and I'm waiting for SFS2 to go on sale and KSA to be developed.

    Boy, have I had a fabulous day today! I watched two Star Wars movies with my brother (III and VII), asked someone out, and, to top it all off, my Eve SSTO finally works! It took multiple iterations (Flying Dutchman, Mary Celeste I, Mary Celeste II, Mary Celeste III) until finally, the Mary Celeste II.5 (yes, I know that's not how Roman numerals work) can reach a stable Eve orbit from 15km altitude! Now the hope is that when I actually implement working propellers it can reach 15km without cheats. I'm confident it will, but the details are for a different thread. Anyway, I've had a really happy day today, so I hope everyone else can get a bit of my joy rubbed off on them! As Scott Manley says, "Fly Safe." May the force be with you too, why not.

    The Convert-O-Tron parts don't feel very balanced. There's not a lot of great size options and the small one is almost unrealistically inefficient, especially if its bigger brother does so well.

    Play around with the maneuver node. Set Kerbin as your target and move the node's position and delta-v to minimize the closest approach. With interplanetary travel in KSP, the solar system is so small and the rockets usually so overpowered that you can "brute force" pretty much any transfer you want. If you're tight on fuel the proper launch window is a nice bonus, but it's not as big of a concern as you'd think. I remember on my Duna mission that getting back home was the real difficulty. It just seemed to take forever.
