Graphics Bug approaching Kerbin

[CaddyShack1643]

When approaching Kerbin I am seeing strange textures on the surface. This starts happening somewhere around 500,000 above the surface. I validated game cache and my graphics drivers are up-to-date. A temporary fix is to quicksave and quickload but it will do this again on the next approach.

System specs:

i5-3570k 3.40 ghz

8 gb of RAM

GTX 960 graphics card

64-bit windows

I'm running the regular steam version of this game with no mods.

Here are the screenshots:

This should stop happening after a restart, it's a pretty old issue with no reliable reproduction steps, so it's near impossible to find the cause.

a restart is probably a good idea but as a quick workaround try going back to the space center and then back to your rocket, that usually works

It is happening everytime I fly back to Kerbin, even after restarting.

Okay then we'll need your game logs, dxdiag and your save as well, please see the support stickies for info.

Since my last post I've done a clean reinstall of the most recent nvidia driver. No luck. I just completed a flight to Mun and back with the same thing occuring. Here is the log from that flight and my save file again:
