I also think weather and better looking atmospheres would be a good addition to the game. I downloaded the EVE and Better Atmosphere mods which make them look cool, but there isn't really weather as such. A massive dust storm looming over the horizon on Duna would look amazing. Or a launching from Kerbin during a lightning storm. Also, volcanoes and geysers on planets and moons would look good as well.

And I thought Goat Simulator was a strange idea for a game... Not that it was a bad game, I think its quite funny! But I think its gone too far this time, I mean, who wants to spend money on something so boring and useless.

Yeah, I guess we could be that! Well England are out, although, one of our main aims of the last 6 years has now been achieved. We are now as good as Spain!

Well it looks like England are heading home, unless Italy win their next two games and England beat Costa Rica next Tuesday. Oh, and then we have to get, or Uruguay or Costa Rica have to lose 4 on goal difference to go through. In shorter terms, its quite unlikely!

I'd say go to the Moon first. Although its not that similar to Mars, and the distance between the Earth and the Moon is nowhere near to distance between Earth and Mars, I think it would be a good stepping stone. Just to try and set up a base relatively close to Earth first incase anything goes wrong as kind of a test. Then, once everything has been tested on the Moon and we have a suitable design, go to Mars. Perhaps we could also build a prototype of a ship suitable to go to Mars in orbit around the Moon, keep the astronauts in Lunar orbit for the amount of time it would take to reach Mars, land them on the Moon and then do the same thing again to simulate the return journey. Although that would be quite an expensive option with little point other than to test the ship. Perhaps the ship could be reusable so we wouldn't have to build another ship for the actual trip to Mars, reducing the cost.

You could use the Kerbal attachment system (KAS) mod to make your own teather. I'm not sure if there is a working mod for 1st person EVA, but it would definitely be a cool edition to the game.

Recently I've been thinking that perhaps we are some kind of experiment. Maybe not the entire universe but just our planet. Maybe some other alien species put life here as an evolution experiment and are observing us and just watching where we end up. To see if we destroy ourselves, or live long enough to become as technologically advanced as themselves.

I like the idea, but portraits should only be shown if the Kerbals are from the current mission and in the 2.5km range. - - - Updated - - - Perhaps this problem could be solved with the idea above I posted.

I guess there could be, thinking of all the stars out there with potential planetary systems. Its quite likely for there to be something similar, although I'm not sure there will be little green creatures with their own space program!

Trust me, there will not be a new version for a while yet. They have not announced in going into experimentals or anything yet, and they usually do this. .24 might come out in April. Also, I don't know why you are asking the moderators to keep it open. If they shut it once, then it was breaking some rule or another. So they will likely just shut it again.

I de-orbit stations, but not satellites. But only if I'm bored of them and/or they get unstable. I just think they are too big to be sat up there abandoned. Anyway, its always fun to see the fireworks of a massive thing on re-entry.

Gaming, swimming, railways. Pretty expensive life style but I enjoy it so I don't really mind.

It is big enough to pull its self into a spheroid. Even though they were quite blurry, the pictures from Hubble show that it is spherical.

Hope you are okay, take as a long as a break as you need.

I'm not sure if I've just got the wrong idea of what you said, but I from what I've have just read, I think you think there will be lots of asteroids going everywhere. I think there is only going to be a few, not an entire belt of them.
