Just because you're in space doesn't mean gravity takes the day off.

Sig'd.
That was such a stupid thing to say :D
Unless of course you were being sarcastic...forget.
Sig'd either way.

But there IS gravity in space.

Also this game is great. Especially that one astronaut who doesn't even need his name mentioned.

I just completed a successful 2 orbit mission! The rocket I used was quite simple, and it was really easy to get into orbit. I had just enough fuel for a deorbit burn too. It took a long time (1 hour and 35 minutes), but it was worth it.

EDIT: By the way, you can give the experimental version of 0.83 a try now. Its below the 0.82 download.

Speaking of orbits, some data on my orbital mission using the Blaman 2:

Total mission time: 03:06:10
Highest altitude achieved: 223436m (during launch, before trajectory corrections)
Highest speed achieved: 2347m/s
Highest speed over land: 2346.9m/s
Ground distance covered: 23232.2km
Total distance traveled: 23309.68km
Apogee: 223318m, 11 meter variation during 7 orbits
Perigee: 95336m, 11 meter variation during 7 orbits

Now that I think of it I really should have measured speeds, but it didn't come to mind. :s
