Add the goo to your keys. Bind research to 1, 2, 3 etc.

I usually make one hot key for all experiments, which right now isn't very many, but once there's like a bajillion different things you have to click to perform science, and you're plummeting through the atmosphere of a distant planet uncontrollably, it helps to be able to get all the data back to kerbal before you die.

Aim for the mountains again. If it lets us get to 35 km, it'll get us higher up if we try more kerbally. Or we'll crash land on them!

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Make hotkeys for atmos or space or landing only.

I vote for an attempt at space, but aiming towards the mountains for if we don't quite make it.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Nah, if you go to space you want to head eastwards, using the planets rotation.
ALso, there's a little runway on that island over there. It has a bunch of random stuff and whatnot.

Why do the rockets always stick?
Because it's still firing! The rocket is being pushed into the back of your craft. Either cut your throttle or empty your fuel tanks first.

Well yeah, but then I can't make a crack at Kerbal Engineering Skillz.

But what if you get where you're going first?

Firing up KSP to work on today's update, but I wanted to get that separate from the body of the thing.

If you get where you are going first hit x.

Then you can go somewhere else as well!

Oh, and kerbals float. So he could have gotten us even more science.


As for tech, we need the chutes one. It leads to solar power, more science and landing gear.

Once you activate the parachutes and it starts drifting slowly down, you can get EVA reports midair with relative safety. If the hatch is unobstructed, that is.

Sometimes Kerbals will not grab the pod when they exit.
