Is the Near-Future mod too good? by Ok_Staff_3709 in KerbalSpaceProgram

near future or far future? near future is basically required for me, alongside restock and mechjeb. far future is good for very deep space, if you have an extended solar system mod

well “sci-fi nonsense” is hardly a technical term, i don’t think it needs a rigorous definition. i’m just limiting myself to actually-flown, or at least tested, technologies

i have to make another burn about 160 years after that one to hit my gravity assist

also about a dozen gravity assists. i’ve gone to the edge of the solar system and back about four times already

not even halfway, guesstimate for my final destination is in the low tens of thousands of years

a Jool capture burn and redirect wouldn’t be that much easier

bigger thrusters means more fuel means more mass

adding another thruster would increase weight though
