Was anybody else wishing that they would just go to map mode so we could see what the orbit looked like? And also whats with this 3 hour coast phase... learn to timewarp already

As mentioned in IRC, it'd be awesome if someone could make a KSP mod that would rescale planets like RSS, then drag telemetry, parts and craft files from a server. Stream the visualisation live via KSP instead of some grainy video, and then play with the rocket parts yourself to try and replicate the mission.

Say, Squad devs, have you been in contact with NASA since ARM?
