Released 29^th May, 2013

Forum post link

Bug Fixes and Tweaks

Tweaked the logic for part-to-part collisions. Things should be much less likely to explode on contact.
Reverted the Mun's height values, so landmarks and bases shouldn't spawn below ground anymore (mind 20.0 saves though).
Tweaked part components on EVA so they start up with the right values.
Tweaked the suspension on the new Medium Rover Wheels, to fix jittering.
Fixed the too-low resolution on planetary diffuse and normal maps.

v0.20

Released 21^st May, 2013

Forum post link

New

Command Seat part for Kerbals on EVA.
Cupola pod with IVA.
Small Lander pod with IVA.
2 new Probe Cores.
Large Docking Clamp.
New Medium Wheel.
Kerbals on EVA can now plant Flags on terrain. Planting a Flag allows you to name the site, which becomes a focus-able object in flight and on the Tracking Station. Planted flags have a Plaque, which can be written during placement, and read only when approached by an EVA.
Several Stock flags to choose from. Flags are moddable. Create your own!
Added a Flag selector to the Game Start Dialog.
Added a Flag Pole Facility to the Space Center.
Added a FlagDecal part module. Allows any part to have a part of its model textured with the selected flag.
Added Flag selector to Editor scenes, to select a flag for the mission (defaults to space program flag).
The Editor no longer requires that the first part on a vessel be a Command Pod. Any part which allows both stacking and surface-attaching can be used as the vessel root.
Added a new part filtering system to the parts list, which allows excluding and greying-out parts based on any criteria.
It is now possible to delete the first part on a vessel, and replace it.
Added the first iteration of the Kerbal Knowledge Base: A collection of vessel and planetary information on the Map and Tracking Station. The Knowledge Base shows information about known Celestial Bodies, displays the crews inside vessels, and much more.
Added Filtering by vessel type on the Tracking Station.
Added Filtering to the Map View as well (hover around the top-center of the screen)
New Loading Screens, with hints.
Mods and Stock Parts can now have their own separate folders for organization.
Added a Flags folder to collect flag bitmaps.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks

GameDatabase: Completely overhauled the loading process with a completely new system.
Added a scene transition buffer system, to ensure optimal memory cleanup when switching scenes.
Switching vessels no longer resets throttle and other input whenever possible.
Going on EVA and boarding a vessel (or boarding a seat) also no longer reset the vessel's input state.
Decoupled vessels inherit the old vessel's control state.
All parts on a stage will get activated now, even if that stage causes some of those parts to get jettisoned away.
Streamlined PQS Terrain Assets, reduced memory usage by up to 30%.
Upgraded Debug Menu, allows reloading parts and cfg files while playing.
The Map View now properly prioritizes selecting moused-over map nodes when multiple orbits overlap.
It's now possible to 'pin' the Ap and Pe nodes, so their captions remain visible after moving the mouse away.
Removed the Splash Screen scene. Now the game starts loading as soon as the application starts.
Rewrote and organized many scattered game events into a single coherent GameEvents System, which plugins can use.
If you crash/explode, focus now shifts to the nearest controllable vessel (if any) instead of going straight to the End Flight dialog.
Many more small bug fixes and tweaks.
Decoupled vessels now properly inherit the action group state of the original vessel.
"Root-dropping" decoupling now properly preserves the staging count for the new decoupled vessel.
Fixed the EVA flags looking weird during the initial part of the flag-plant animation.
Fixed staging icons on decoupled parts not being removed from the staging list.
Fixed the suspension jitter on the Medium Wheels.
Several improvements to how collisions are detected and handled in the editors.
Symmetrical counterparts now properly glow red or green based on whether they can attach or not.
Added a sound for when placing/releasing parts in the editor isn't possible.
Added the flag pole to the editor scene background.
Adjusted collision and torque values for the medium wheels so they're a bit faster and tougher.
Adjusted wheel breaking logic to take into account the relative velocities of rigidbodies.

v0.19.1

Released 18^th March, 2013

Forum post link

(Most 0.19.0 mods should be compatible with this release)

Bug Fixes and Tweaks

Corrected an issue that would prevent large rover wheels from applying brakes
Tweaked braking speed and power on rover wheels
Adjusted how rover wheels display resource usage
Changed Ladders on the launchpad ladders to make it easier to climb them.
Changed the names of launchpad and runway objects to be more descriptive when you crash into them.

v0.19.0

Released 16^th March, 2013

Forum post link

New

A Native Linux version!
Added visual (and sound) effects for re-entry and supersonic flight.

Released 1^st December, 2012

New

Docking: Connecting vessels together is now possible! Build space stations, surface bases, or assemble huge spacecraft in orbit.
Flight Planning: Getting to other planets and moons just got a lot simpler. Place maneuvers along your orbit to create a flight plan, and then just follow the guidance cues. No need to figure out angles or hold a protractor to the screen!
Improved Map UI: New map icons show close approaches, intersections with other orbits, and a lot more, so you can focus on getting where you want to go, instead of worrying about how to get there.
New Vessel Types and Vessel Renaming: Building a station? You can now rename and set your vessel as one of several new types, so it'll show on the map with the appropriate icon and name.
Automatic Fairings: Rockets now look like proper rockets! Several parts now have automatic fairings that pop up whenever something is stacked below them, and then jettison away during flight.
Much Improved Models and Textures: Many of the old parts have been completely redone, with carefully constructed meshes and hand painted textures, to give KSP a new look.
A slew of new part types: solar panels, docking ports, batteries, trusses, ion engines, electric lights, side-mounted parachutes (or "radial parachutes"), crew cabins, new science parts, and a heap more!
Unmanned Probes: New unmanned pods for building probes and unmanned missions, plus a huge amount of new probe parts.
Action Groups: A new way to control your ships! Instead of having everything done through staging, you can assign parts to groups that are controlled with a keypress. Set up Abort systems, or rig up complex contraptions. Or just let the game handle it automatically.
New Input Modes: No need to have two hands on the keyboard and a third one on the mouse anymore. New input modes make for much more ergonomic controls, and it's all remappable!
Two new celestial bodies: New places to explore, with interesting and varied terrain.
New Resources System: Watching fuel drain has never been so much fun! New resources allow for completely new possibilities. Energy, Fuel, Oxidizer and other resources now flow through your ship. Manage them as you fly, and pump them across parts.
Electricity: More power to the Kerbals! Many new functional electrical parts added, like Solar Panels, Batteries, and even a Nuclear Reactor!
Lights: Landing on the nightside just got a lot less deadly, with new landing and floodlight parts.
Functional Air Intakes: Turbines now properly require air to run, and Intakes can provide it for them, as long as there is an atmosphere around you.
Music: KSP now has its own soundtrack, featuring many cool tracks, from smooth jazzy tunes to build ships by, to wondrous spacy themes as you explore the solar system.
Much improved planets: Kerbin looks a lot better now, with hand-built terrain features. Moho and Eve also got major overhauls, and many others have also been improved.
Performance Tweaks: New terrain optimizations and a system to prevent lag by slowing the simulation make for a significant improvement in performance.

Kerbal scientists, mechanics and ground crew all around the Space Center Facilities.
New Internal Cockpit models, with full modding support.
New (Much lighter on performance) Particle Effects and Explosions
Several new, larger rocket parts.
Added a Launch Clamp part. It holds the ship in place at the pad so it doesn't crumble to pieces before you get a chance to launch.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks

Set all parts on the same vessel to ignore collisions with each other. Hopefully this will solve all part-to-part collision problems.
Reduced the minimum collider intersection threshold to much less than before. Should increase collision accuracy and hopefully solve issues like landing gear going through the ground. (all thanks to above fix)
[API Change] MemoryStream wrappers that were mistakenly not committed for 1.15.1 have been added to the code.
Packing/Unpacking ships is now done without affecting the ship's scene hierarchy. Now, vessels take care of keeping their own parts in place while packed, making for much more stable physics behavior when going in and out of time warp.
Improved vessel/part loading from persistence procedure, for more stable and accurate flight resuming.
Fixed a bug in the Tracking Station scene, which prevented scrolling the vessel list.
The Vessel Switching keys now only cycle between nearby vessels and won't cause the scene to reload anymore. To switch to far-away vessels, you must use the map view.
Added key and axis bindings for EVA controls. Reorganized the Input Settings screen a little.
Added separate control bindings for walking and jetpacking on EVAs.
Added 1:1 EVA rotation axes. Using them disables the automatic orientation system.

Released 16^th December, 2011

Optimizations

Removed a lot of needless halts on the part processing routine during loading.
Restructured the sound loading system so the main loading thread doesn't wait for it to finish before moving on.
Deferred adding of several part components so they're only added when they're needed.
Mesh tangents can now be loaded from file, instead of being recalculated every time.
The mesh loader now ignores materials from file, because they were going to be replaced anyway later.
Meshes are now saved to binary files (serialized) when loaded for the first time, and loaded from those files when they're available.
Changed the rendering method for the part icons on the staging sequence. This can prevent thousands of objects from being created when flying large ships.
Ship parts now have adjustable levels of physics, so small parts are not as deeply simulated as large ones. This reduces the amount of physics objects and joints to simulate.
Reduced the amount of code components attached to each part, making for less calls on each frame.
Tweaked the part heat exchange model, for a considerable fps boost with very large ships.

New on 0.13

The part loader will check if the saved optimized meshes are out-of-date, and update them when necessary.
A new Fuel Line part, that allows fuel to be drained off external (side-mounted) tanks.
It is now possible to warp time freely when the ship is landed.
Added a progress bar for the loading screen.
Pressing F2 will hide the UI completely (so you can take UI-free screenshots).
Added a new icon for the Fuel Line parts.
Changed the icon grouping rule on RCS Blocks and Strut Connectors to group to all parts of the same type on it's stage.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the mission timer not getting started if the first stage was moved before launching.
Liquid Fuel now flows from the top attachment node, instead of from the parent part (unless there is no top node, in which case it flows from the parent part).
Parts now keep the references to the part attached in each attachment node. (makes top-node based fuel flow possible)
Fixed a bug which prevented the ship selection dialogs from receiving double-click events. Now it is possible to select a ship file by double clicking on it.
Improved rendering of hyperbolic (escape) orbits in the map view. The trajectory is now a constant size regardless of eccentricity, and isn't warped by the splines.
The Map camera will now remember it's last position, and return to it when the map is reopened.
Fixed a problem that made it possible to delete the command pod in the VAB by using Ctrl+Z.
Increased the heat conductivity and heat dissipation values for all parts, to compensate for the new heat exchange system.
Exposed a 'thrustVector' cfg parameter for Liquid Engines. This allows you to set the 'default' thrust direction for an engine, same as with SRBs

v0.12

Released 11^th November, 2011

New on 0.12

Re-added the Mun
New Orbital Camera Mode. Like Free Mode, but aligned to the solar system plane, like the Map View Camera is.
New Auto Camera Mode. Chooses between the other modes based on the state of the flight.
Liquid Engines now support thrust vectoring (gimballing).
New LV-T45 Vectoring-Enabled Liquid Engine.
The VAB will now allow you to select a Command Module before starting a new ship.
Planets and Moons now rotate.

Bug Fixes

Improved the way velocities are applied when resuming physics.
Fixed the Advanced SAS icon showing as a question mark on the VAB.
Fixed a bug where cloning parts by removing and undoing would cause them to receive duplicate IDs (and crash the game when loading the ship again).
Tidied up the flight statistics numbers formatting a bit, so they're easier to make sense of.
Time Warp will now smoothly increase/decrease towards the set time rate, for a much more fluid transition.
Made several improvements to the Map View orbit rendering.
Fixed the rails to physics transition, so that there is no significant change anymore in orbital parameters when going out of warp.
Made some significant improvements to the physical joints that hold the ship together. Ships will not wobble anymore when going back into 1x time after warping, and the joints themselves are more stable overall.
Made a small tweak to the part tooltips on the VAB, to prevent them from going off-screen on small resolutions. (was noticeable with the new command pod selection dialog)

v0.11.1

Released 13^th October, 2011

Bug Fixes

A pausing glitch that would happen every time the menu was selected.

v0.11

RCS (Reaction Control System) Module Part.
Added an 'RCS Toggle' key (Default 'R'), to toggle the RCS on and off.
Changed the useless Overthrottle LED for an RCS LED, which indicates if the RCS is enabled.
Advanced SAS Module Part: Uses input-enabled parts (like winglets and RCS) to stabilize flight, but applies no forces of its own.
Splash-down effects, sounds and a basic buoyancy simulation.
New "Atmosphere" Gauge in the UI, indicates how deep the ship is in the planet's atmosphere.
The Orbit system can now track and propagate hyperbolic (escape) trajectories.
Parts can now cast shadows on themselves.

Bug Fixes

Added a simple but hopefully effective stall simulation for winglets and control surfaces.
Made a few optimizations to runtime loaded textures. Now they're compressed to DXT5 and support mipmaps.
The MET display will now start counting on liftoff instead of on flight start.
Tuned the terrain system a bit, to improve visual quality at high altitudes.
Greatly improved the input lock system. Now, components that lock game controls won't override locks placed by other components.
Improved the flight camera code. On Chase mode the camera will not spin around at the poles anymore, and both modes are more stable overall.
Optimized the terrain system rendering, and got a nice boost in performance during flight.

v0.10.1

Released 13^th September 2011

Bug Fixes.

Eliminated the sharp atmospheric cutoff at 34,500m. Now there is atmosphere up to around 68,000m.
Improved the drag calculations.
Created a new ControlSurface module to replace the problematic Stabilizer module. The Stabilizer is now deprecated.
Changed the folder structure on the Mac version, so it is the same as the PC version.
Removed the sensitivity/deadzone reset when reassigning joystick axes in the input settings.

v0.10

Released 6^th September, 2011

New on 0.10

Completely overhauled procedural terrain system. Much more reliable and stable.^[1]
The whole planet can now detect collisions, so ejected parts can now land safely.
The terrain mesh is far more stable, shorelines and mountains no longer wobble.
The new terrain system is completely translation and rotation-safe. It can be moved dynamically without breaking visually.
An Orbital analysis and propagation system, allowing for a complete planetary simulation, among many other possibilities, is ready for implementation.
Terrain quads are now queued for subdivision, to improve performance
The terrain system now allows for a secondary target object, so both the ship and the camera can subdivide the terrain.
Mini settings screen for in-game tweaks.
New (much better) shader for water.
The R8 Winglet now responds to input, and can be used as an elevator, canard, aileron, rudder, or any combination.
It is now possible to crank anti-aliasing up to 8x.
Joystick Support.
A working Mac OSX version!

Bug Fixes

Hi-subdivision tiles now have mesh colliders, which means the far side of the planet is no longer an insta-death trap.
Fixed the textures stretching near the terminator
The camera will no longer go through the ground.
The terrain collision mesh now perfectly matches the visual terrain.
Fixed a problem with the atmosphere, where it would fade in and out at specific points in orbit.
Fixed a few problems with some game settings not being correctly applied on game start.
Fixed a problem with the volume settings where explosions would sometimes sound out even with volume at 0%
Added a basic compatibility/integrity check on loading ships. If it fails, the ship won't load but the game won't crash.

The VS Gauge now uses a log scale, to allow greater precision with small values
The Strut Connector. A compound part to create physical linkages between any 2 parts
Parachutes now have a 'useAGL' parameter. If that's enabled, it will deploy when it reaches deploy altitude from ground level

Fixed the MET clock, which would loop back to 00:00:00 when a mission went on for longer than 24 hours (Wow, I'm amazed someone found it )
Changed the debug console key to Alt + the key left of 1. It would interfere with the throttle controls in flight.
Fixed parachutes not deploying if not set to the last stage. (they can still deploy when jettisoned)
Fixed a silent error when parts set an explosion potential higher than 1.0
Eliminated the jitter on the VS gauge
Changed the physical attachments between parts again, so the stack is less wobbly overall

Exposed Kd, Ki and Kp parameters for tuning the SAS and CommandPod modules

Bug Fixes

Fixed the staging lock LED not turning purple after launch
Icons no longer show a transparent border floating around then mousing over disconnected parts.
Fixed a bug where deleting a symmetrical part would sometimes leave it's counterparts floating around.

v0.8.2

Released 13 ^th July, 2011

This version is a hotfix for a couple of ugly bugs found with the 0.8.1 release.

Note: The 0.8.1 release introduced a few changes to the .craft file format, so it is possible that ships created with versions prior to 0.8.1 might not be compatible with the new version.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a serious bug where swapping about symmetrical parts would crash the game
Pod cannot be dropped if an Escape Tower (PunchOut addon) is attached

v0.8.1

Released 13^th July, 2011

New on 0.8.1

Updated tutorial to reflect the changes made in this update (like the new cameras in flight).
Tweaked the Radial Decoupler separation. It can now eject lit SRBs safely away from the ship and not kill the crew everytime.

v0.7.3

Released June 24^th, 2011

Initial Release^[2]

Notable Features

Downloaded over 5000 times^[3]
No SAS, although SAS module is implemented and generates torque
The only engine, the LV-T30 can only be fed by one FL-T500 attached on its top
The AV-R8 Winglet is just a fin and can't be used to control the vehicle
It is nearly impossible to achieve orbit
Kerbin is the only celestial object, does not rotate, and is a mirror reflection of the example planet from libnoise
The sun is a directional light source at infinite distance
The render distance is only 1500 km, and Kerbin will "sink" into the sky background, vanishing entirely as that altitude is achieved
The original Intercontinental Kraken had not been fixed (Moving far from the KSC will result in shaking and even Rapid Unplanned Disassembly due to floating-point precision loss.)

v0.4

Not released^[4]

The disk terrain generator seen in early releases is implemented from the Libnoise library, giving Kerbin its current global topology (excepting a few later modifications.)

v0.3

Not released^[5]

The (pre-0.90.0) parts tabs were implemented in the Editor
Some terrain was placed in the immediate vicinity of the pad, but Kerbin was still 20 km and smooth beyond it
The Mun was removed
The game featured an interface including an average propellant gauge, RCS propellant gauge, vertical speed and altimeter, kerbal portraits, g-meter and throttle indicator, most of which did not function
An electronic sign, possibly for mouse-over information, appeared; it showed quotes and countdowns in this version

v0.2

Not released^[6]

Kerbin was a textured 20 km (radius assumed) sphere with no terrain, presumably with 1/900 of its current mass and an orbital speed of less than 442.9 m/s
There was a fixed Mun: another textured smooth sphere with little resemblance to the canonical Mun
Staging is added
Instead of the current vessel-origin rendering system (necessary to solve floating point jitters), the game used the center of Kerbin as the origin
The game is now in an early 3D like format

v0.1

Not released^[7]

The Editor ran in the flight scene, the Vehicle Assembly Building not being implemented yet
The RT-10 solid rocket motor was implemented and looks only slightly different from today^[outdated]
The Command Pod Mk1, TR-18A Stack Decoupler, LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine, FL-T500 Fuel Tank, and TT-38K Radial Decoupler are implemented, but barely recognizable
Kerbin was a flat, floating tile with generated terrain, and instead of achieving orbit, you could launch past its edge and fall forever into the "void"
While the graphics were 3D, the game was 2D, and one could fly and build vehicles only in the altitude-longitude plane, unable to turn north or south, and able to attach parts to only two sides

v0.0

Not released^[8]

"Kerbal" comes from the name Felipe "HarvesteR" Falanghe gave small figurines he installed in modified fireworks as a teenager^[9]
HarvesteR was hired by Monkey Squad in 2010 April; the company did not develop software at the time^[10]
Development of Kerbal Space Program was authorized by Squad co-founder Adrian Goya in 2010 October, but deferred until HarvesteR could be released from marketing set projects in progress^[10]
Kerbal Space Program first compiled on 2011 January 17^[8]

+* [[Career mode]]
+* [[Science]]
-'''Career Mode'''
+* [[Biome]]s on [[Kerbin]] and the [[Mun]]
-* Career Mode is now open! Although still very much under development, you can now start new Career saves.
+* [[Subassemblies]]
-* Sandbox mode, of course, is also available from the start.
-'''Research and Development:'''
-* Added the Research & Development Facility to the Space Center.
-* R&D allows players to unlock parts (and later other stuff) by researching nodes on the Tech Tree (In Career Mode).
-'''Science'''
-* Researching requires Science, which must be earned by performing experiments during your missions.
-* You can now collect surface samples while on EVA, and process them to do Science.
-* Science experiments return results, which are different for each situation in which the experiment is performed.
-* Experiments can (as all proper experiments must) be repeated over many different situations across the whole Solar System.
-* Added a new dialog to show the results of experiments when reviewing the collected data.
-* Added a new dialog to show a breakdown of all scientific progress made after recovering a mission.
-'''Parts'''
-* Added new scientific parts, like the Materials Bay and the Mystery Goo™ Canister. Also added experiments to many existing parts.
-* The old science sensors now have a purpose. They all have their own experiments which enable them to log scientific data.
-* The antennas are now functional, and can be used to transmit science data back to Kerbin, if recovering the physical experiments is not an option.
-* Antennas consume massive amounts of power when transmitting. Make sure you have fresh batteries in.
-* Added a new deployable antenna, which is an intermediate model compared to the two original ones.
-* Completely remodelled the Communotron 88-88 Comms Dish. The new mesh uses the same placement rules so it won't break ships that have it.
-* Nose Cones now actually help with improving stability during atmospheric flight.
-* Revised a lot of part values and descriptions, in preparation for them actually meaning something in the near future.
-* Overhauled the landing legs and gears, they now have proper shock-absorbing suspensions.
-'''Editor'''
-* Added a system to allow saving and loading of Sub-Assemblies.
-* Subassemblies are subsets of spacecraft, which can later be attached to other designs and re-used.
-'''Space Center'''
-* The KSC Facilities have all been revised, and feature new ground meshes and many other graphical improvements.
-* Greatly improved the Island Airfield.
-* Added lighting FX to several facilities. The Runway (among many other things) is now properly lit at night.
-* Added a new backdrop and soundtrack for the Astronaut Complex Facility.
-* Added a new music track for the R&D Facility.
-'''Flight'''
-* It is now possible to recover a flight after landing/splashdown on Kerbin without going through the Tracking Station. Look above the Altimeter.
-* The SAS system was again largely overhauled, based on all the feedback we've gotten from everyone. It's now more stable than ever.
-'''Solar System'''
-* Celestial Bodies now support Biome Maps, which are used to create different conditions for experiments.
-* Biomes are currently implemented on Kerbin and on the Mun, more will be added on later updates.
-'''Launcher'''
-* We've got a new launcher application for KSP, featuring a news bulletin, patcher management, and also allows you to tweak settings from outside the game.

 * Docking: Connecting vessels together is now possible! Build space stations, surface bases, or assemble huge spacecraft in orbit.
 * Flight Planning: Getting to other planets and moons just got a lot simpler. Place maneuvers along your orbit to create a flight plan, and then just follow the guidance cues. No need to figure out angles or hold a protractor to the screen!
 * Improved Map UI: New map icons show close approaches, intersections with other orbits, and a lot more, so you can focus on getting where you want to go, instead of worrying about how to get there.
 * New Vessel Types and Vessel Renaming: Building a station? You can now rename and set your vessel as one of several new types, so it'll show on the map with the appropriate icon and name.
 * Automatic Fairings: Rockets now look like proper rockets! Several parts now have automatic fairings that pop up whenever something is stacked below them, and then jettison away during flight.
 * Much Improved Models and Textures: Many of the old parts have been completely redone, with carefully constructed meshes and hand painted textures, to give KSP a new look.
+* A slew of new part types: [[solar panel]]s, [[docking port]]s, [[Battery|batteries]], trusses, [[ion engine]]s, [[electric light]]s, side-mounted [[parachute]]s (or "radial parachutes"), [[crew cabin]]s, new science parts, and a heap more!

 * Unmanned Probes: New unmanned pods for building probes and unmanned missions, plus a huge amount of new probe parts.
 * Action Groups: A new way to control your ships! Instead of having everything done through staging, you can assign parts to groups that are controlled with a keypress. Set up Abort systems, or rig up complex contraptions. Or just let the game handle it automatically.
 * New Input Modes: No need to have two hands on the keyboard and a third one on the mouse anymore. New input modes make for much more ergonomic controls, and it's all remappable!
 * Two new celestial bodies: New places to explore, with interesting and varied terrain.
 * New Resources System: Watching fuel drain has never been so much fun! New resources allow for completely new possibilities. Energy, Fuel, Oxidizer and other resources now flow through your ship. Manage them as you fly, and pump them across parts.
 * Electricity: More power to the Kerbals! Many new functional electrical parts added, like Solar Panels, Batteries, and even a Nuclear Reactor!
 * Lights: Landing on the nightside just got a lot less deadly, with new landing and floodlight parts.
 * Functional Air Intakes: Turbines now properly require air to run, and Intakes can provide it for them, as long as there is an atmosphere around you.
 * Music: KSP now has its own soundtrack, featuring many cool tracks, from smooth jazzy tunes to build ships by, to wondrous spacy themes as you explore the solar system.
 * Much improved planets: Kerbin looks a lot better now, with hand-built terrain features. Moho and Eve also got major overhauls, and many others have also been improved.
