I dont know, there were few bugs, like flipping of pods but it was super quickly removed. So I am happy and having a blast playing KSP again. I dontr realy get the drama there are always bugs in release versions of every game ever.

I am planing to capture a few asterodis, put them in Low Kerbin orbit and use them as refueling station. The first investment will be higher than landing on minimus, but later it should be easier with fact than no inclination burns and overall easier acces. But there is also my Plan is to create a Ship than can go anywhere exept eve which refuel betwen missons on Low kerbin orbit and crew and experimnts will be carried down wit SSTOs .... so i will have a nice space program that cost prety much zero funds to run.

Well it depends You can put two people in identical car, but one will make the same trip with less fuel consumption and probably will drive safer. I belive same can be used to kerbals it is esencialy them who are driving the rocket not you (well you are, but you could get my point) Also better pilot would use less RCS. I admit there is not that many non technical profesions availeble right now. But you could simiary argue it doesnt matter which rock you pick up if you are carring that rock back home for observation.

With upcoming patch Kerbal experience is beeing added. And I belive it is ideal place to implement profesion system for Kerbals. I envision it like there would be Pilots, Scientist, Engieners, Miners, Drivers etc. Pilots: Craft has better torque and rotates faster Scientist: There EVE reports and surface samples yields more science Engieners: Engines consume 1% less fuel Miners: When resources are implemented they will harvest more faster. Drivers: Rovers can go faster and flat tire happens less often. Or it could be made by skill trees so you could pick perks for your kerbals, but by picking one would cancel option of having another perk. This system would also benefit using multi seat comand pods, becouse right now, there is no reason to use them.

18$ in November 2012, I belive it was like two weeks before first kerbalkon. I have been playing demo for a half a year at that time

With wheels anything is possible.

Well for me its space shutle made by Top Gear crew. It was basicaly car turned into space shutle, with real life boosters and everything and it even achived I belive one kilometr. and here is whole video

Well if Eeloo is right now Pluto Analog My bets are on Charons analog for Eeloo. (Or gas planet two oh god please be a gas planet two, I will love you without rings I promise)

Thats odd I am running lowest posible settings, and my horizon Lag is just terible i was launching 60 parts SSTO and was still runing like 1 second took 2 seconds. I am guesing my 512 mb eadeon is getting old for KSP :-(

Well I will add my two cents. 1) Why are people angry? Becouse they were promised resources last kerbalkon, being scraped spring 2013. If I remeber corectly thats what costed Damion his position as a comunity manager. If I remeber corectly it was something about building bases and complex mining was considered being added as a expansion. And outrage was quie suvire. So people are waiting a year for this feature, which could again revolutunaze the way we play a game. (Unlike science, which is curently just play a game with less parts) 2) Multyplayer is wierd, and will be wierd. How anybody ever said hey man lets play flight simulator on this lan party. (Well nobody ever) Becouse map is fricking huge and you can both be on other side of the universe literaly. With KSP added time warp it boils down to actualy one person is playing and rest is either waiting or building in VAB. Only momens which could be fun is shared building of space stations and bases. But i dont think its a good move. Veteran players are alredy getting kinda bored, and teaching your friends orbital mechanics is fun. But not in a long run or if you are playing alone. As for ongoing debate. I completly agree that mining resources and fuel, makes things super easy. It is true. I instaled kethane and it is easy to just strap bunch of parts and do a grand tour with OP self suficient lander. My imaginary idea off one day implemantaion of resources will be some sot of colony mechanics combined with curency. In the end we will be able to put VAB on Duna or Gilly. Prefrebly like you land this 5 super heavy pars 2 km apart and kerbals would actualy build something out of it. And than you can buy parts there for some extreme cost, which can be lovered by bringing more miners or other buildings. I strongly belive that astronaut recruitment complex could have more categories. Like pilots scientist miners, drivers etc. With each having sosme bonuses. ANd lastly as for squad, I completly understand why you comunicate as you comunicate. I was in some sort of a same endevaur, and in the end you just have to comunicate like a lawyer becouse anything you say will be used against you.

I realy like how are moviesand so droping fantasy theme and are more and more sci-fi or universe focused (Hobbit is rather rarity living from succes of LotR) I realy like it, becouse that is the thing which will get us back to space.

Well curiosity is als this big I belive. But yep its quite big.

Well this is kinda different, I am from Czech republic and we used to have comunist party as leading party before 1990, and even if some people changeges on highest spots. It doesnt realy makes difference. You set goals and even if they blow, then you cover it and party survives as a whole. That also a reason why they dont do so much livefeeds as we are used to from NASA. Failiure is not accapteble and so you only say good news, and rarely the bad news. For example gagarin was officialy published after he returned, not when he launched, and chernobyl tragedy was published weeks after explosion. Its comunist habbit to hide bad news, and say god news with big publicity.

Well they got me interested. I belive that their next misson is achiveble with curent tech and launch vehicles. And I admit that i started considering giving them money for support. I admit that i kinda hope that my 10 bucks could actualy lead to the first mars colony, even if that colony fail. Also here is the link for the foundreiser. I am quite astonished how much money they raised, just in one day. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mars-one-first-private-mars-mission-in-2018 EDIT: Added link

I always wondered if there would be problem with tectonic movement when building Space elevator, becouse for example africa is slowly moving towards europe etc.But on the other hand i can easely imagine cableless space elevator which would work for example like maglev train. You could achive much higher velocities while traveling up.

Interesting many of you suggested sending just females, or males with woombs etc. Although I agree that sending bunch of frozen embryous would be nesesity for genetic differation. There would be many practical problems. I dont want to offend ladies, but they are pretty much useless last third of pregnancy cycle and then for 6 weeks after birth, when woomen is in serious trauma. So this only female colony would have many problems regarding who will build the houses, farm the fields and otherwise cultivate the land. (Well the cheap solution is robots) but after that we are facing the civilization which will have big Oidipus complex for next few hundreds years since new born Males would have no faher role models (or any male role models to speak off) So i think we will need to send Males as well as females on this trip. As for multi generational ship, I see a problem that the third generation would have realy big issues adapting to new enviroment. Imagine you were born in the box in which you never new hunger, desieses, falling from hights, meeting wildlife predators (hence even Canada has bears) So this generation which never saw anything other than ship would have realy big issues adapting to this world. As for my ideas how can we reach the stars without breaking speed of light. 1) We can use sleeper ships. Seems probably like the best option since the people which gets on the ship sees the place. (I cannot imagine adventurer which goes onto the jurney with idea that his whole contribution is make those brats that see the place you want to see) 2)My Other idea requieres us developing technlogy of storing personalities and persons on the hardrives, than we could send a ship full of frozen eggs and artificial woombs, and when the ships reaches its destination people would just download their personalities into the new bodies (pros are certanly the facts that every single colonist is young at the time of arrival) Or people from earth could send there personalities wia some sort of data stream to the ship once it conformed over habitable planet (you probably woudlnt mind traveling as data stream in speed of light) ..... to be clear this sort of exploration was covered in Richard K. Morgans books. Where people stop dying and were just reuploading there conciosnes into new bodies.

Well here is a trick, nobody actualy knows if they are white or not, they are thinking that they should be white, becouse those flag were absolutly ordinary flags which you can buy in a store across America. They didnt think that nobody will come there again for such a long time so the flags were not so time proof. Ou and in Ksp there is prety much no reason to not make flags from UV proof or radiation proof colors

Well speaking of scary bodies I was always a bit freaked by Tylo, this giant moon with that white almost skeletal color always doing crazy things to my manuvering around jool system. And its also so big.

I do. I am buying it for my cousin. And I totaly agrre its a cool gift and you ge to give money to SQAD for more development yeey :-)

I dont get why so many people wants to have "realistical" look alike of solar system. I would be realy happy if we had some cool stuff in Kerbol system like Dunasized planet on Suns polar orbit (that would be chalenge to get to) 3 body system with planet tha has moon which has a moon. Planet on retrograde orbit and yes I am alll for Uranus analog with rocky surface. Who cares if it is unleaveble you will send down probes rovers and land....errr.... permanents bases.

I had problem with rovers tiping over their noses while quickly breaking I discovered that if I create action group thats says breaks on rear tires it stops almost instantly without any chance of tiping over.

Today I made aircraft which can carry a smal rover around. And in addition it can paradrop the rover and then fly to same better landing location. http://imgur.com/a/3m6mJ#0

Okay I realy dont get whats everybody has with game so full of bugs. In my years of playing KSP (and i play since 0.12) I came across 2 bugs like literaly two .... once a docking buff destroyed my station over minimus in 0.19 and in 21.1 i lost my roverbase on minimus due to glitch that game thougt its about to crash despite being parked on surface so it deleed iit. But exept thus two i think games run perfectly. Yes squad tinkers a lot and i kinda doubt we will see building bases and launching things from other planets. (At least i hope we can see it in expansion which i will happily pay for) ...... well i also consider buying KSP again on 2 year anyversary to support sqad. Becouse seriosly I never had so much fun for 18 dolars ...... well maybe Gothic 2 i bought that one for 10 and spend large portion of my childhood on it

Well Kerbal solar system is incredibly big just planets are curently in just small part of it, yes eelo is prety much as far away from sun as venus is, but Suns SOI is much larger I tried tu put space station into furtherest orbit around sun as posible, and it takes more than 70 years to get to apoapsis (Which is around 7 hours in real world on maximal time warp)

I tried to build something big, and it was brought to orbit in just two launches. Now its chilling 700kms above Kerbin.
