kerbal space program free science save modification

I can't remember exactly where in the whole scheme of things it happened, but once I ran out of fuel just outside of Kerbal's atmosphere. Using those design modifications, I got to the Mun, visited the other moon (I forget its name now) and got back to Kerbal with fuel to spare. (I wont say exactly what I did b/c figuring those things out are all part of the fun!) I also changed my lander a bit to mimic the real lander. So I redesigned my rocket, much close to the Saturn V rocket. And I noticed some design decisions that NASA had done to Saturn V that made much better sense than my own designs. They had schematics of the Saturn V rocket (and an actual Saturn V stretching up into the sky). On my way back, we stopped in Hunstville, AL where they do space camp. I had a lander stuck on the Mun with an astronaut and a bunch of debris from bad landings. And I just could not get to the Mun and back. I didn't know about the quick-save or quick-load feature (F5 and F9), so my missions were always rogue-like get-her-done style of missions. Early last summer, I tried going to the Mun 50 times. Lastly, I have to tell the story of me going to the Mun. Are there any mods that turn it into the real solar system and use real astronauts? It'd be neat as an added science lesson for my kids as we blast off to places. And Kerbal is one of those games that I'll be playing when I'm 70 - unless they make it better later with a Kerbal 2. I make sure if it's a game I want to play in 10 years, that it's on my GOG account. It's a definite GOG buy at some point for me, too.

But I quit playing it, waiting for the full release. It was really good last I played it (just as it was hitting beta). I'm glad that money helps the devs finish their product. So I just bought the alpha on Steam and played it (like millions of others). Yay for it being on GOG! It was in Alpha for so long, that I figured it would never see the light of day.
