Better EVA

Yeh. And new science experiment where you drop a feather and a hummer also hitting a golf ball with a club.

And maybe saying something stupid once you land somewhere for the 1st time.

"One small step for a Kerbal and a giant leap for the Kerbalkind". LOL.

The issue with adding tethers IIUC is that physic-simulating a rope in zero G takes a lot of computing power. You're effectively simulating a bunch of very small stick-like parts connected by free joints. I can understand if the devs don't find that worth the processor real-estate, for the sake of low-end computers.

I've always interpreted the insane amount of EVA fuel you get (250 dv or something?) as compensation for not just being able to pull yourself in.

And yes, EVA takes practice but it can get very annoying. I usually blame my kerbals and their stupid budget cuts in the training program, that helps my mood through those situations a bit

Precisely my point.

KAS may not be able to simulate realistic rope / cable effects, but does a good enough job of operating like a tether.

Might try to implement a mod for this myself. Not sure how customizable game is (that is can I only create parts or can change other aspects of the game).
