Welcome to “Kerbin G 113”, a krash kourse in gravitaional mathematics. Disclaimer: This lesson is valid only in KSP version 1.1.3. It has come to our attention that even our most trusted slide rule jockeys occasionally are caught using those 'modern' electronic calculators. The so-called results obtained in this fashion are of course tedious, hence this mandatory back-to-basics krash kourse. First thing first, here is your approved course materials. First lesson When I say the g0 mark of your slide rule line up perfectly with the 9.81 mark, then the result is 9.81 and not a decimal more! Understood? Now go do the exercise; you are to divide the Kerbin GM by Kerbin R and then divide by Kerbin R again. Second lesson Repeat after me: “If I want to find a universal G, I will take GM and divide by M. I will choose one of the celestial bodies listed in the course material to look up GM and M. There are no other options than those listed”. That is good, now, just for the fun of it, calculate a universal G. Thank you. You did well today. Let us hope you all make it to “Kerbin G 12”, our advanced course where participants are entitled to extra decimals. Request I have a request for one of you badS talented artists. Could you please make an image of a Kerbal classroom with a black board. Maybe with a Kerbal professor and Kerbal students in it. On the blackboard it says at the top “KSP ver. 1.1.3” and it says “g0 = 35316 / 36 / 100 = 9.81 m/s2” with the 9.81 part rather over-sized. Preferably a reusable image, so that we may get a new one saying “KSP ver. 1.2” and “g0 = 9.80665 m/s2” once we get confirmation of that in version 1.2. The idea is that the two images can go side by side and help remind people of the version changes, if for instance they are building a Keo-stationary comms-network in the upcomming release. Edit: I hoped it would be obvious that the above post was meant to be entertaining.

1. Go to the Exploring Gilly scenario 2. Go on EVA 3. Kill your Kerbal (I HyperEdited him into Eve's atmosphere) 4. On the "Mission Results" screen, click "Space Center" 5. There you go. You can save game, play normally.
