.17 Planet information

Who runs the wiki? Could somebody add surface-to-orbit delta-Vs for the various worlds? I don't want to fly my 80 part lander to Eve just to SEE if it can get off Eve again!

A wiki, by definition, is edited by users. So if you've got something helpful to add, add it. I'm sure the community would be grateful. The wiki could use a little love in my opinion.

I have a suggestion to name the two volcanoes of Moho.

Which is located in the part that always illuminated think we should call it "Olympus" and the situation is diametrically opposite, "Hades".

What do you think?

"Olympus" volcano in Moho

Speaking of volcanoes, why not call it Avernus? Olympus-Avernus makes a bit more sense than Olympus-Hades

Uranus and Urectum.

Avernus is the entrance to Hades...

Well, I accept it! Thanks!

Wasn't Hades the god of the Avernus? Or am I just confused here?

Uranus and Urectum.

Moho is a hot planet, the most near to sun. Uranus (changed to Urectum in 2620 ) is GasGiant Ice planet, 7º planet. On the other hand, Uranus could have been called Neptune before the discovery of Neptune, and in fact, Neptune is called Neptune because Uranus almost put him that name (See Wikipedia).

I'm getting a delta-V of 2960 for a Laythe surface to 65km (~10 above atmo) orbit.

I thought this thread was dead well, I guess i'll be updating again then

Scott Manley had a video about the Duna burn, and I believe he said the math works out to about 50-degrees (could be wrong ... not in a position to hear his explanation at the moment).

I think he explains it in one of the parts of this series:

He also has a good Moho video here:

Scott Manley has some great content

Has anybody landed an intact ship on Moho? I tried one with no engine, relying on RCS propulsion to get around the overheating issue, and the LANDING LEGS blew up at around 1200m due to overheating! I did previously make a survivable crash landing with just a capsule, though, at around 4000m local ground altitude.
