gosh darnit, the download keeps failing.

Same. Going to have to give it a couple of days.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I don't know, downloaded fine for me the first time. You should use some kind of download manager, like Download Master. No idea if it speeds downloads up or not, but it really helps to get files from unreliable servers.

0.10 didn't work with a download manager, so I didn't at first try 0.11, but now that I did, it worked fine.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Btw, the Mun is confirmed (and already implemented) for 0.12.

...

Yaay.

I was just about to ask.  Also, for anyone who hasn't looked it up, the Sun (Kerbol) is now an actual object instead of a lightsource built into the skybox.  It's about 13.5 million kilometers away from Kerbin, and since your control scheme is basically point-and-shoot, the closest flyby anyone has made is about a million kilos.

But Hell yeah, Moon here we come.

Wait, the Sun exists now!?! SWEET.

How big is it, did they get the scale right?

[Sean Mirrsen]

It exists as a point in space, rather than a light flare in a direction. No gravity or anything, but you can fly to it.

[Aqizzar]

According to the wiki:

Name: Kerbol
Mass: 1.756567x10^28 kg
Radius: 6.54x10^7m
Gravity at surface: 27.94 G
Distance from Kerbin: 13,559,014 km

For comparison: Sol

Mass: 1.9891×10^30 kg
Radius: 6.955×10^5 km
Gravity at surface: 27.94 g
Distance from Earth: 149,600,000 km

So, not exactly in scale.  It's considerably larger, although since it's a solid sphere instead of whatever melange of layers the Sun is described as, but is hardcoded to have the same gravity (presumably? nobody's gotten very close to it), and is about a tenth the distance away.

[Sean Mirrsen]

In-game, I mean. It has all those stats, but they'll only be used once the game actually has the Kerbol as a physical object. It's just like there were stats for the Mun before there was actually a Mun.

I should definitely preface this saying I have done no first hand research.

But whatevs.  Come look at the Moon!  C'mon HarvesteR, whar screenshots?!

[Urist Mcinternetuser]

I wonder how long until there will be missions, and astronauts who you have to hire and keep alive.

So, any recommendations on part packs to DL?

C7, Wobbly parts pack etc, Assorted Hardware is also good for nit-picking assholes like me.
