[Ideal atmospheric escape? (Calling the help of advanced engineering mathematics.)]

It depends on where you want to go. An ascent straight up will spend less time in the atmosphere and less delta-v is required because you're not trying to establish orbit, but just to leave the atmosphere. I've noticed that rocket's I've sent on a straight up trajectory tend to land a little West of the KSC. This is because the planet rotates slight while you travel up (I think), but not sure if that is significant.

Just thought I'd mention this point.

[Where to post my crash report?]

Remove all mods and try to get the crash to happen again. If it does then you can report it as a crash report. Since 0.21 they no longer support modded games.

[Orbital Maneuver Thrusters]

I have a craft design (SSTO) that maintains an orbit using a LVT-30. Would I save fuel doing orbital maneuvers by using some LV-1Rs or 24-77s? I'm accepting the loss of dV / ISP.

[What do you think of the new Communotron 88-88 design?]

I love it, so far

[Annoying little occurence]

If the chutes fully deploy at too fast a velocity they can either tear off or cause parts of your ship to dislodge.

[Minimus was easy, Mun kicked my ***, next steps?]

I say give Mun another shot. People do non chute landings on Duna and Eve all the time. Duna has a thin atmosphere so you probably want rockets to assist anyway.

[Not a "One-Touch" recovery for me.]

Just reenter the pod and you should be ok

[Can't recover science from experiments]

If you click "observe goo" then you need to push the clipboard button to keep the data. Don't transmit the data. Then if you land the goo container successfully on Kerbin you must recover the craft with the tracking station or the recover button. So not restore flight.

[Adjusting the LAN in orbit.]

Thrust normal / anti normal at a point between the AN and DN should do it. Why do you want to do this?

[How to bring back a Dead Kerbanaut back in the Command pod?]

The realistic way, if you really want to recover the ship would be to send another ship with bill again. If you want to hack it, launch the same ship again (just the part that is landed) an you can either compare the persistence file to copy the pilot over, or copy the entire ship onto the mun

[How to purchase parts in Career mode.]

At the moment, as the game is still in development, you only have to research the parts there is no buying. So click the big blue button once you've selecte what research you want and you should be all set.

[How to align docking ports in the VAB?]

I was thinking you wanted it on the side of something. Ok so the trick is to first have snap angle turned on. Then get your view so that you're looking at the craft straight on from the side. Pull the docking port up underneath where you want it slowly and it should snap into position. Click to place

[Parachute Cut at <0.5m/s?]

That explains a couple crashes I had last night... No I don't like this either.

[How to rotate a part attached to a radial coupler to change the direction it faces]

I tried to do the exact same thing, it seems like the science jr is glitched as far as this. Q and E are the buttons you'd want though

[Unmanned sample return]

Oh that's great news! I was wondering about that.

[Random question - any way to convert a Sandbox Save to Career Mode?]

I'm hoping so. I think once I complete the tech tree in career I will eat to do that too.

[What do you think of the new SAS?]

I had a launch vehicle spin out of control that SAS never locked back in to stop the spinning.

[what speed is safe for the tansmitter?]

Did a re-entry to Kerbin with the transmitter out at about 3500 m/s. No damage to the transmitter.

Same here. It is indestructible.

[Crazy orbit prediction]

Almost certainly a bug. Floating point error perhaps?

[Power generation?]

I did a Mun and Minmus landing with only 4 extra batteries. Should pose too much a problem unless you plan to transmit data.

[Any longitudinal science missions? Requiring length of stay in space?]

You can get some additional results if you are orbiting above a unique biome. Also, multiple EVAs can be done.

[Lack of heat shields in career mode - Annoying or just me just being pedantic?]

You can add the science parts' doors to an action group. Then you have the ability to open / close the doors on them without destroying science contained within

[A change of plans when playing career mode...]

Stepping through the tech tree has helped me learn to be MUCH more efficient with my designs. It's actually helped me a lot. Also, loving that recover button. Really speeds up my missions.

[Command pods in Staging?]

Yeah I heard it was supposed to science when stage, but does nothing for me.

[Biggest Disappointment You've Had in KSP]

Finally got my first space station to orbit and then got my first rendezvous only to find out the big six way connector (Rockomax Hubmax Multi-Point Connector

) needed to have docking ports out on it.
