If it takes around 8-10 seconds to EVA a kerbal 1 by 1, And if he had 36 Kerbal's, It would take between 288 seconds(or 4 minutes 40 seconds) and 360 seconds(or 6 minutes) I have done MATHS

@@danielwenzel3877 Might take even longer, if you take *"accidental head bumping"* in account, which can double the time taken to EVA 1 Kerbal to the right place. So I'd say that it's closer to 6 minutes than to 4 minutes & 40 seconds.

To make large landing gear steerable: - place it to servo (I use biggest one, but maybe something less is enough); - disallow servo full rotation and set angle limit (I use +-5 degrees); - map servo target angle to Wheel Steer in Action Groups; - set Absolute Control (for auto-return to 0 degrees when you are not steering); - set Inverted Control if need. Voila! You can steer your craft without on/off engines.

I love the idea of a bunch of stranded Kerbals walking around aimlessly, just picking up rocks. Eventually just devolving into a giant fight when the realization they can't go home really sets in...

It just tells you the delta v of that stage up until something runs out of fuel, which ends up being the closed cycle engines, I separate my nervs in the staging so I can just drag the stages around as needed to check delta v, also, I love how you made them wait like a month while you were at the mun ready to rescue them, just so you can rescue them in the light

The thing about SSTOs is that I can't be bothered. I just strap a space plane to an incredibly overqualified space shuttle launcher.
