Telescopes, Geological events and its link to science research and contracts

[juvilado]

Hi to all, as KSP is achieving 1.0 and more realistic features are being developped, i suggest some realistic stuff that could enhace gameplay and give interest to all kind of players:

- First of all, putting telescopes on orbit should be a must (telescopes could be a fixed part, and contracts would be available for them). Like in real life, with the science advance, newer and better ones could be available.

- With the help of telescopes or with the help of some probes orbiting planets, some "anomalies" could be detected, for instance, an unusual flow of methane inland (mars? :-) ). Some contract should appear to go and investigate the site with a lander probe (manned or robotic, could vary from one contract to another). The mission should be quite accurate in the landing or not, and might require the use of different science devices (existing or new).

- Ideas for those anomalies could include: volcanic events, geysers (ice and liquid ones), gas flow, even some organic life... That could lead to gain information about the planet and "understand" the kerbal system and gain a lot of science!

What do you think?
