How big is the box?

That would be why interplanetary travel can be saved for after release, as an expansion. It wouldn\'t even be all that sci fi, either, as we already have the technology in real life*. Translating it into the kerbal universe would be easy as cake. Or a piece of pie. No need to bring up the bundle of challenges that would open up.

I agree that the focus of KSP as it is now should be just the Kerbol system. But I would like to think that KSP will catch many more people\'s imaginations and desires, and doesn\'t stop there. Squad is a damn fine company and they deserve every chance to continue beyond just KSP.

*For one example, peruse information on Project Orion. This is a good starting place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)

I love Project Orion! I think that the Nuclear treaty should have at least allowed that ship.
