i love it.just love it. beats photoshop

Thanks :D. Look, it has cute crenels !

But is it realy possible to make a sandcastle on the mun ?
Depends on where you are on the Mun.

Adding to the theory : doesn't the view of Kerbin on the menu screen suggest this kerbal is standing near the Munar north pole ?

Near the equator, Kerbin would appear rotated by 90° to the left or to the right, depending on whether it is a kerbinrise or a kerbinset.

Kerbin would be "upside down" at the south pole. Nah ?

If you were to stand on the equator of the Mun, the Eart would be rotatet 90° sanding fix on the sky as the Mun is tidally locked.

Maybe a little bit librating

If you were standing on the Muns North pole you would see Kerbin just as you were looking at it in the mapview (rightside up if you will) and upside down when you were standing on the southpole.

That's bizarre. I set it up specifically as a straight random chance, unless it was changed later.

Random is, by it's very nature, random.

Random is, by it's very nature, random.

I heard a great story once about a slot machine paying out several times in a row. The casino sent a frantic call to the machine's builders: "We're losing money here!" The builders replied: "It's just a matter of random chance and the machine will still make you money." Sure enough, more people played the machine, for obvious reasons. Because the overall rate of winning was the same, though, the slot machine eventually made the casino some serious cash.

The moral of this story is that the house always wins (don't gamble, kids!). But it also shows that random chance will occasionally do weird things. (Indeed, I've seen the KSP sand castle appear three times in a row... but I've also gone on a year-and-a-half streak of not seeing it once.)

So I agree wholeheartedly with MailletC here: Don't worry about it, NovaSilisko :)
