Kerbin's Atmosphere fix?

[VincentMcConnell]

One thing I noticed about Kerbin that has always bothered me is that when you sit on the ground and look straight up, you can see the blackness of space. In real life, you cannot do that. Sure, the sky is a little darker, but for the most part, it\'s still light blue.

Is there anyway that you guys could make it so that the atmosphere is a little more realistic to what we see here on Earth?

Keep in mind Kerbin is smaller than Earth, so the atmosphere is in turn smaller as well. Also, how is this blackness? It\'s just a darker shade of blue.

It may be smaller, but it actually has slightly more gravity which would result in a thicker atmosphere than earth.

Gravity is the same, and the atmosphere\'s thickness depends entirely on what units you accept for 1 mass unit. The atmosphere thins out more rapidly, but the most commonly accepted unit puts Kerbin\'s atmosphere at 8 times thicker at surface.
