So..... I managed to get  over 160000m before running out of fuel, and had a velocity of over 2500, I am wondering if that is enough to reach escape velocity, as I am still waiting for it to slow down.

Great...even in 0.9 you still can't land on dark side of the planet...and my last 3 landings including the mountain crash just have to land on the dark side...

Damn, they want money now? I guess since it's only $7.00 I can pay for it.

Hardly.

Donations from 7.00 USD up will automatically be counted as a pre-order, and you’ll already have a valid account to download the first fully payware version, which is due in a few months.
In the meantime, we’ll continue to update the free version of KSP. Then, the last free version will remain forever available as a demo

So it will be free during the alpha, which will be at least a few months as they say. In the meantime, you can pre-order, or not.

The download button is under the preorder button on the same page, in case you missed it.

Is it just me or is the game getting dramatically slower with each update? When this topic was first posted and I downloaded it the different screens would load almost instantly, but now it's a 10 minute wait from initial loading to getting a simple rocket on the launchpad.  ???

With updates?  Nope, haven't seen that, at all.
However, adding mods does dramatically increase the loading time.

Yeah, $7 is a real killer. It's not like there are any other games out there that cost more than that.  ::)

Having a rocket scream towards the planet, Jebidiah laughing his head off while his brothers scream theirs off, then trying to flip it over and use solid-fuel boosters to brake for landing, something goes wrong, everything falls apart, stuff starts exploding, and poor Jeb finally realizing something has happened and the look of sheer terror on his face seconds before the command module ploughs into the ground. That's worth $7.

When you're broke enough that you really only get to play free games and use freely available internet, $7 becomes a killer.

Eitherway, you don't have to pay for it yet.

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.

You won't ever have to anyway, the last free version is the demo.

Huh.  Retrograde burn, with a side order of unpowered landing.  Standard fare for my orbiters, but this one...
This one wanted to be different.
