Allow sandbox mode to display science results & Review of results

[Cal'Mihe]

I was watching several of the pre-release 0.22 videos, and it seems that while the science modules will exist in sandbox mode, they don't tell you the results of the science experiement when you run it, and instead tells you "Science results are not availiable in sandbox mode" or something to that effect. My suggestion would be to allow the text of the result to be displayed, even if no points are gained.

This would allow players who are building their own "career" mode in sandbox to have some results, it gives a meaning to explore the different parts of Kerbin or the solar system.

On a side note, I would also suggest some way to review the data and the results you have gathered. I don't think we have seen any sort of interface for reviewing science results which you have gathered. I would love to have an overview of what results I have gathered from the different planets and biomes. This would also help to plan the next mission, and stop people from making missions where they in fact have already done the science experiment some weeks or months ago, they just can't recall!

Plus when Biomes are in for all planets, we need some interface to keep track of which experiment on which biome on which planet we have run.

Eg "Hmmm, I've been to the big western Mun crater, but did I run the Goo experiment, the materials, and did I remember to pick up a rock ?"

I know that 0.22 is not yet released and that this can change still, but making the suggestion in case it isn't in .

I agree, it will allow to have to have an idea of the scientific effectiveness of a craft.

I also agree with the review suggestion: when you have to qui the game while making a mission, you can easily forget the experiment you have done(or haven't done).

Also: I want to do science and have feedback from the science I did i sandbox.
