I got trydyingtolive on Steam. I never ever talk to him, but I could ask if he's doing a 0.17 video. Not sure he'd respond, but anyone care? I don't want to bother him if it's just me who gives a forget here. :x

J MASTER · September 19, 2012, 08:37:54 PM

I'm sure he is.

Asdf, can't download the update, system overload.

Never tell your password to anyone.
MegaScience: Inquiry: 0.17 video planned?
trydyingtolive: ohhh mayb
MegaScience: Ah, awesome. And then to travel to every available celestial body in a single trip...
trydyingtolive: probably not
trydyingtolive: depends on how good the atomic engines are
MegaScience: Ah, I hadn't checked the detailed change logs. Interesting minor changes. Fly by of new trees and boulders. lol
trydyingtolive: lol I'll do my best :)
MegaScience: Fly safely, though. :P
trydyingtolive is now Offline.

He was very punctual on responses, oddly enough. Made me nervous - He's a father, he's far into the physics of the game. I'm just a dumb college student, so I don't really know what I'm talking about.

I figured it was released because the KSP server is completely down.
So can anyone tell me the exact changelogs? I can't get on the forum at all.

That's where I got the forum link from. The forum link is full change log, that's generic.

Downloaded, first ship attempt got me to the mun (which was my goal).

To my surprise, after day after day of searching for the Mun arch, I couldn't find it, but with the first rocket launch of version .17, it was revealed to me at last!

However, I was 4 fuel tanks short, and had to ditch my landing gear setup.
Sadly, I knew Jeb was stranded. Though I knew a rescue mission was possible.

So I used the remaining fuel to hop over next to it to explore it a bit =D

Neat screenshot of Jeb flying up to it.

I saw the scale of the universe.
It looks insane.
