    @Jacas99 Juno is already without any mod much much better than KSP2. It is a real masterpiece.

    @AWholeTurkey
    A first hint for you: Study Excel files in:
    ...\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimpleRockets 2\Career\Default\Contracts

    :-)

    You can use my crafts "Banane" and "Lunar Rover" for the "Commercial Pilot" and "Lunar Driver" missions which are the hardest ones (I think) for getting all launch pads free.

    @Kassap Thank you! I am not a mobile user as well. I don't think you should not bring great extensions because they only run on the PC and not on the phone.

    Jogging. With 110kg this is yet o.k.for the knees I think (take good shoes for that of course). I once had >100kg too. Try to generally reduce calories and eat some good food (not that fast food stuff you know). I am doing jogging for many years now, every 2-3 day about 20min only. That's enough if you do it regulary, but it takes time (years, but that is not a problem since you feel great after your tour). So no panic and wild over reaction. This is my advice. Take care! Tom

    @SatelliteTorifune It's working ! I have just accepted the Explorer-1 mission. Unbelievable, great !
    @RichGWall I will test the re-entry possibility here, since SatelliteTorifune uses the HyperPatch SolarSystem 2.0 . @SatelliteTorifune Did you perhaps modify the atmospheric profile of Earth ? RichGWall advises so (using the profile from 1.5.3 e.g.).

    @Cjkb Interesting! Since I have (nearly, rendevous missing...) finished my Vizzy launcher and landing programs I have asked myself the same question. It would be the next step to an MechJeb equivalent in JNO. Perhaps you can implement a Hohmann transfer with the usage of the Moon orbital information one can get in Vizzy. If I find the time I would examine this. (if we find a solution for Lunar, then for the Moon as well I think.).
    Also interested in this could be @RichGWall I think.

    @CosmosMan Did you ever looked into the sky beeing in desert ? I think beeing in space it's even better. If you focus on bright surfaces (like the moon) that should be massively darkened. That would be great I think.

    @galleta No, I'm pacifist, sorry. I there is a civilian usecase, I would be interested. Like smashing icebergs for maritime safety or something. Or drive away pesky pigeons. Is that possible with your mega bomb rocket, made for kiiling human beeings ?

    My Vizzy launch idea is very primitive but works:
    a) start and acc. to 100m/s
    b) Set pitch to a given val., e.g. 75deg
    c) Wait until rocket velocity reaches this angle
    d) Switch to prograde
    Some starts with angle value adaption, there it goes.

    So sorry !
    I have two questions: Why don't you use a PC ? You can make backups there, even to an USB stick (then even if your PC burns, this works fine).
    (O.K. that was one question. The other was, why do you not make backups, but I was able to integrate this in one question finally)

    And don't forget the Unruh - Effekt :-)
    Lightsstrips in Warp, that's it. They are building up an experiment to prove that this effect really exists. I think I read this in the last American Scientific.
    Back to topic:
    My opinion to interstellar travel of human mankind: Never. Will never happen. Sorry to say, but look how far the Voyager probes have come, that is a few light hours or so. Yes that's really far for us, but the next star is about 5 Ly away.
    Before they develop the warp drive, human mankind will destroy themself because they cut all the trees down. O.k., I am the pessimist, please convince me of the opposite :-)
    For solar system the next star is Proxima Centauri (4.25Ly). Distance from Earth to Neptune is ~1/10000 from that. If you define the diameter of the solarsystem by the means of the Oort cloud that factor shrings to ~1/3 .... (If I haven't even miscalculated there....) If you define the solar system by the means of interstellar space (bordered by the Heliopause, what Voyager 1 just crossed) it is ~1/2000 .
    So you know the story of the two Voyager probes ? It was a perfect planet constellation for their travel out of the system. I don't know how often such a constellation will exist in the near future.

    @mundindel
    So I have worked this out a little bit and discussed this issue with Pedro in the bug section. We hopefully see this fixed in a future update.
    As far as I worked it out now, we got this summary:

    Hydrolox : 7878 W @ 1 g/s Hydrolox Massflow
    Methalox : 5015 W @ 1 g/s Methalox Massflow
    Kerolox : 4930 W @ 1 g/s Kerolox Massflow

    ( given a 50% Fuel cell efficiency )

    FC system weight could be seen as 0.5-1 kg / kW generated electric power.

    If someone is interessted in deeper details, I can give further information here (Warning! Includes some physics/chemestry ;-)

    @Fyrem0th

    Hello friend, you can use one of the existing start programs as a template, e.g. this one here:

    https://www.simplerockets.com/c/yD2xzD/VIZZY-SmartGAP-BETA1

    It is programmed very generically and should work quite quickly for you. Just as an idea, you don't always have to reinvent everything.
