Nice. This game is awesome. I should give it another play.

I landed on the moon and several planets. The hardest thing I ever tried to do was crash in to the sun. I could never do it. It seems like it'd be easy to just "fall" in to the sun once you get off the Earth, but it's not. You have to undo all the sideways momentum from earth orbiting the sun with your rockets in order to properly fall toward the sun instead of orbit, and that takes a ton of fuel.

Kind of an eye-opening moment for me about how gravity works, and how much momentum everything has. It's very hard to get out of a stable orbit!

Anyway cool sub! Just wanted to share my Kerbal story.

I made it to the Sun once. Got too close then my ship burned up. Made it to Jool as well but you can't really land on a gas giant...That's what I like about KSP, infinite replay possibilities. It's one of the rare games that I keep coming back to because there's so many things you can do. Thx for sharing!
