I wonder how long it will be before we get a moon or something to crash into fly to. And then we'll have people trying to figure out how to make a ship that can land safely on the moon, take off, and make it back to Kearth. And/or figuring out the lagrange points and trying to somehow fly into one of those with our current  very lacking HUD.

I've been practicing already by going out to increasing distances and trying to get back. So far my record is making it out 2.5 million meters and just barely having enough thrust to start falling back home, at which time I let gravity pull me in, saving one liquid booster for a retro rocket. We came in a bit too hot, though, and I had to eject and parachute separately.

My best run so far was half an hour, before misjudging the land height and crashing spectacularly into the dark side of Kerbal. Half-orbit. A bit slow on the speed, but... still trying.

Venture on, brave Kerbalnauts.

Cool a new version! These guys are really working their asses off. I'm glad this game has found such interest as it has, as a reward to their efforts.

*Oh its not released yet 

Still.

[breadbocks]

The release is a big issue. Some of us are rabidly anti-steam, and some of them are rabidly pro-steam. Fortunately, the former is a wee bit larger.

Where did it say anything about steam here?

[Talfryn]

I think the community isn't as polar as Breadbocks thinks, but it is a point of contention with some people.

[Ultimuh]

I myself am not in particular for or against steam.
But for a game like this, they should try going for the same as Notch did with Minecraft.

I was talking about how deadmeat mentioned "*It's not released yet".

And yeah, it isn't completely polarized, but I've not seen a single person saying "Eh. I don't care either way. Just shut up and take my money." Well, until Ultimuh posted. >.>

In this case Just shut up and take my money is exactly my thoughts.

Steam because it's nice to have everything in one place, the auto-updating is cool, and you'll get free publicity to millions just by having it there. Plus many people are so attached to their steam libraries that they won't buy a game if it's not on Steam.

Personally I'd buy it even if the delivery method were a solid booster landing on my roof, nose down. :p

I love this game's bugs.
If you get too far out, half the screen turns into space trees.
If you spend too long ingame, the kerbils' names slide off of their placers.

[Aklyon]

Steam or not, I don't care. Fun game is fun.

Even the most ridiculous deep-space adventures posted on here have only gone about 1/3 the distance required to get to our moon, so yes, it will be fun 

Any moon added the the game probably won't be that far out, but maybe. We'll definately need some kind of time-manipulator first.

Woo!  I finally figured out how to reliably get to space.  Now I need to figure out how to reliably stay in space.

Also, my most recent rocket just failed in a funny way.  The command module was peacefully parachuting down.  At about 200m, an earlier stage fell, hit the command module, and caused it to explode spectacularly.

Pics or didn't happen.
