[I have a great idea for a game.]

For anyone interested in mars terraforming, I highly reccomend the Mars trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) by Kim Stanley Robinson

Seconded, amazing books. Although I have only just started the second

[KSP Devs on Kurt J Mac's FLoBathon]

Eve looks great as does Kerbol! I like the idea of the Kerbals sounding a bit like sims

Not that I am aware of jonny but I'll ask the team, though if I remember correctly the code is deliberately un-optimized so that it is easy to alter, for adding features and bug fixing.

The major optimizations are unlikely to take place until nearer the 1.0 release, as the code will be frozen and the developers can then concentrate on speed and remaining bugs.

Ah this is good to hear, my laptop can really struggle sometimes. Granted its a laptop but still

A Lovely colour panorama has just been put up. Gorgeous

[Rocket turning with SAS on]

Yea stick some RCS on there and it should stabilise it!

[How do you think this canyon was formed?]

I would guess some kind of ancient faulting when it was still young

That wouldn't surprise me if it comes in at a later date

[How send my rocket to the moon]

Get into a stable relatively low orbit (but not so low you are in the atmosphere) Heading eastwards

Wait for the mun to appear over the horizon or Kerbin

Burn until your orbit reaches the muns soi, the graphic in map view should confirm it

i can't wait for the Mars Decent Imager (MARDI) footage. A 5 fps video from heat shield separation to touchdown

The footage is up.

There is going to be an HD version of this video in a few weeks

[Spacecraft engine in a vacuum.]

Another good source.

The famous footage of staging from Apollo 4, showing among other things a view right down the throat of a J-2 firing in vacuum.

That is so cool, looks almost like its CG, so smooth

[Kerbals at War - The very first KSP War movie]

Go to the Settings screen, and under video turn on the "Terrain Scatters" radio button. Then adjust the "Scatter detail" slider to get a compromise between density of trees and performance.

Ah that is the setting that I had disabled, Mun landings are going to be much easier now, Thanks!

Ah that makes sense! No wonder I couldnt find or see that album.

I better get posting!
