Depends on your definition of "do anything." After the initial beeps of Sputnik 1, satellites very quickly started returning very useful scientific results.

Um, no. Sputnik and many others came first.

I unlocked the Stayputnik probe core but man is it difficult to DO anything without solar panels! The wimpy batteries available early in the game just don't cut it for a real mission. Even loading up 900-odd points worth of electricity isn't enough to stop them from going dead before I can enter Munar orbit. Aargh. "For want of a nail, the kingdom was lost!" Replace "nail" with solar panels, and "kingdom" with probe.

Can't wait for the Career Mode update for this pack. I'm sure it'll add even more to an already-entertaining new way to play the game.

Yes! More Goo = MOAR SCIENCE! Also, if nothing else it keeps your center of mass if you orient them symmetrically.

Lot of sweet, sweet Science!â„¢ in every canister. You better believe it's important!

Steam showed a 77.4 MB update for KSP on my Mac. It downloaded and installed in just a couple minutes.

Chatterer works in career mode. Heh. Awesome.

Steam showed it as a 77.4 MB download on my Mac. It was downloaded and ready to play in a minute or two. I've already conducted my first science mission (a survey of the launch pad and a suborbital flight with Jeb at the controls) and begun unlocking the tech tree. This is a ridiculous amount of fun trying to do real flights with so few parts.

Just started my first Career Mode save.

Yep. KasperVld's thread is gone. Woot!

Premature excitation (or exitation or whatever). http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/53036-KSP-0-22-status-not-released The sadness. It burns.

Bingo. These are my personal feelings, exactly.

MacBook Pro Core i7 2.0 gHz (it's 2-1/2 years old now - need a new laptop!) 8GB DDR3 RAM Plain old slow-a$$ 5400 RPM drive Just FYI, that station would lag on most rigs.

Thanks for the updates, Kommitz. Your engines are indispensable to me and I love pretty much everything about them. And the artwork is perfect.

It's there. Of course, I found it at night. By accident, since I didn't know it was there at all.

Yep. If that side of the Mün is in daylight and you're coming in low enough, you'll see it up on the edge of the mountain ridge above the large crater. Me, I wasn't looking for anything but a safe place to land. It was actually my first-ever crewed Mün landing though, so I considered myself pretty lucky to find it by accident.

I found my first Mün Arch by accident; I was coming in for a landing and noticed it as I was killing horizontal velocity right before pitch over. I landed a couple kilometers away and hiked all the way over there for a photo op. I also discovered the KSC monolith like that - I didn't know anything about it (I used to try to stay away from any thread or post that mentioned anomalies). I was out testing a new heavy rover design and saw it in the distance as I was tooling across the landscape.

Very Kerbal approach - Jeb approved.

Isp is Specific Impulse. In short, it's a measure of rocket engine efficiency. The unit is seconds. Higher values are better. Here's a good description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

Right. That's it, exactly. Remember, this was well before the days of the Astronaut Diaper Love Tryst and stuff. This was the days of The Right Stuff and astros were expected to be squeaky clean in the eyes of the public. Wally's entire A7 crew was effectively grounded and none of them flew again after their grumpiness, some of which apparently made it out on open air-ground loops and got overheard by nosy ears.

Let me second that recommendation. Those nukes are AWESOME.

You have NO IDEA how glad I am to see this new release. THANK YOU!!!

Minmus, the Mün, Gilly, and even - sorta accidentally - Eve. I sent a dual-rover mission to Gilley but after taking so damned long to land on Gilly due to the low gravity, I decided to just dump my second rover in Eve and be done with it. Even without chutes, that darn thick atmosphere slowed it enough to survive a crash landing skycrane-down. The crane stage exploded and tossed the rover off to the side. One wheel got sort of embedded into the Eve surface but even tilted down and stuck in that attitude, I could drive it all around the landing site. All the solar panels ans science instruments survived too, which was pretty amazing.

First landing, in version 0.19 so not that long ago. Oops.
