what are we expecting in 0.24?

Very curious to see the new parts. Given that they're talking about them being kerbal SLS analogues, I'm crossing my fingers for a 2.5m SRB capable of allowing for an Ares I-style design.

Any new parts is always awesome; with the biomes, did they say they were adding biomes to Minmus in .23? I don't remember them saying it, so they could just add some biomes as a surprise (I'm hoping for Duna + Ike )

In relation to the OP's post, are we not allowed to ask when the updates coming? Just wondering...

All I want is world peace ..... and death to anyone who opposes me.

Seriously though, I'll be happy if I can move kerbals around my spaceships/stations without having to go EVA with them.

Official DLC this early in development confuses me. Are they going to continue developing the game with the NASA pack installed? I assume they would. These should just be stock features rather than a separate item.

I believe they suggested that all the new parts and features will be stock, and that the asteroid retrieval mission will merely be a scenario using those new stock features.

i just want this cleared up then. so once .24 is out, my steam version will update and will have the nasa mission as a selectable scenario, just like the training missions. or i can go into career/sandbox and play with the new parts and the asteroids on my own?

and this nasa mission isnt DLC in the commercial sense, but rather a portion of the .24 update?

Well, they said it's a free DLC, but it will be separate from 0.24 from what I understand. From what I've pieced together, they plan to first update KSP to 0.24 and include all the new parts and features, and the actual NASA scenario (in the free DLC) will come after.

What IS draw mode 0 for the conics?

As for biomes, I suspect more objects with biomes would come with more parts. Otherwise there'll be too much science compared to what's needed for the tech tree. Tbh, without mapping mods the biomes are a guide dang it anyway.

Conics mode 0 shows your path within each SOI relative to the current position of the planet/moon generating that SOI. It's useful for visualuzind and planning your approach or fly by of a body.

Conics mode 1, the default shows the entry point of the conic for your next SOI connected to the point where you enter the next SOI.

All of the comics draw modes are explained pretty well, with pictures, here...

Smarter conics drawing

Better maneuver node editing

Contracts

Back end improvements (I think?)

Just a crude multiplayer implementation and the NASA Mission Pack it's what's gonna be implemented.
