Could KSP once reach this.... (?)

Do you know ?

Try it and have fun...the solar system and all of the spaceprobes - everything in 3D and live....to move around....i like it very much.

Propably one can answer this .... would it be possible to extract the 3D models of the probes (probably also Planets/Moons) out of this and be used for KSP (if NASA allows this?) ?

This would be a fine plugin... :-)

Earth and a lot of probes

Messenger over Mercury

Voyager 2

I dont think its a good idea copying the models from that

but it looks cool.

Don't know about those specific models, but NASA does have a bunch of freely-available 3D models.

Can probably get as good visually as any of these...
