It's a single stage to Minimus, it kind of has to be. Also carries a full kerhane setup for refueling.

We've been left with it some time ago. :P

In other news, I am trying my hand at a new design of lightweight SSTO.

Spoiler: So far all it does is look pretty on ascent (click to show/hide)

2 km radius orbit? Isn't that well within the lower atmosphere, if not the lower lithosphere*?

*Depends on if you measure from the core or the surface.

I mean like, this;

That's not radius.

What do these mods you're talking about do?

EDIT: And are there any life-support mods people recommend?

The mod he wants seems to be a "your space stations randomly disassemble themselves more then usual" mod. Which is retarded.

Anyway Scott Manley uses TAC life support mod. There should be a link in his interstellar quest. Or the reddit thereof

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

Gravity did all sorts of things wrong. What he wants is N-body physics.

That's what it sounded like, but it's...problematic. And I don't think anyone has made a mod for that.

He wants an orbit convergence tool, to simulate the effect of highly cluttered space with high chances of impact with something else.

Easiest way to do that that I've found is to break any large ship and admire the parts that sail off in long arcs. Bill and Bob know exactly what a near-death experience feels like.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

I actually have a very good design of a kessler syndrome generator, using the Interstage Adapter from the Procedural Fairings mod. You get five parts per each adapter (one base, four fairings) and they can be stacked easily. A single rocket launch can deliver a hundred bits of debris easily.

Has anyone without such a mod ever hit a wandering chunk of space debris?

Happened to me once. I hit a canard from a discarded booster stage after several dozen very wasteful missions where I dropped boosters in LKO
