Integrated NASA / SpaceX telemetry of live or history feeds and play them back in Kerbal


Recommended Posts

OK I know this is HUGE ask, as it requires a major data transformation pass from Sol Space into Kerbal Space something that might not be plausible based on the scales here. 

Also what I am suggesting, and this could be a huge marketing benefit to the team along with some very visible profiles over the next few years... if thats any incentive for the management folks :P

Take todays Landing of IM-1 on Earths Moon.   The live video is basically no cameras,  bunch of overlays of what phases they are countdowns to the next event.   How cool would it be to actually take Live launch data or landing data and then being able to bind kerbal to those feed's. 

Then attach those feeds into scenerios that either we can build.. IE here is my craft,  attached to the feed and watch it land..  or closed even where Intercept works closely with nasa and uses the game as a realtime renderer and even use it in broadcasts,  then have a library stored of history events so we can view them..   skys the limit.. or not ... bad um metaphore to be using ;)  

again Kerbal is completely different system to Sol,   so may not even scale, but it is a cool idea with a lot of potential, imo

I could imagine this being somewhat implemented in a sandbox mission control. You select a mission, you get stage and delta V requirements. Build your rocket. When you hit launch it starts you at the right time and provides a ghost/faded flight plan on the map for the player to match.
