I hope the developers will do something to optimize the Game enough for my notebook That feel when you watch slideshow about your rocket...

Ki11aWi11, on the one hand, you're right; but on the other - the humanity still can't send manned missions even to the Mars, and hadn't fly even to the Moon near an half of century. And we haven't send such missions to asteroids. But Kerbals have. So, why they can fly to asteroids, to the moons, to the other planets, but can't go to the Jool? The only reason I see is it's monstrous gravity. But I don't think it is overmastering obstacle for green guys, they'll just send heavy rockets to Jool's upper atmoshere non-returnable mission (hardcore) or drone (softcore).

TheProdigy, I mean, that balloons on Jool should be an alternate to standart landing on rocky planets/moon, but Jool must still stay available for exploration, not only blow up encountering ships. Or there can be some special bathyscaphe-type modules/parts that will not blow up even in the deeps of Jool, flying/swimming in it's atmosphere like submarines in Earth oceans

I think the atmosphere of Jool at last will be so thick, that spaceship will finally float in it just like in water If I was a developer, I would make ships blast due to overpressure (maybe, except some special details) in such situation, and, in order to avoid it, would add balloons to fly in the sky of Jool on heights, where there is normal pressure. Sorry for my Engrish, again
