Can this also be used to get a small amount of science from, for example finding the distance between Kerbin and [insert Planet/Moon/Asteroid Name Here], being worth more science for bodies that are farther away?
Also could you possibly do the Discovery Ambient sound, and maybe the little things (like NAV, COM, etc.) on the screens (they can just be fake IVA stuff, or it could be done through RPM, just an idea at this point)?
