4:42:31Think you need to go for a shallower entry angle. No parachute can protect from a steep entry.
4:42:34You only get science from one
4:42:35you can probably only need two for symmettry
4:42:38make sure the goo isn't on the bottom sides. they'll melt like last time
4:42:42For orbit, you need a shallow trajectory. Far easier on your parachutes.
4:43:03at least 3 goos for each environment youll be in
4:43:06You'll be orbiting many times in the future, 1 goo is fine
4:43:08you can check the balance now with the center of weight tool
4:43:10You'll also need a rocket to deorbit you
4:43:17you can't redo science more than once in the same area
4:43:20If you look at the buttons above the symmetry tool you can see your balance
4:43:26the goo is stored in the cylinders
4:43:40there's upper atmosphere too
4:43:47theres definitely cold weather up there too
4:43:50Have you done a check at sea level?
4:43:51I think he's thinking "flying low, flying high, space low".
4:43:54plus there is spash down and launch pad to take readings from too
4:44:00One for different altitudes?
4:44:05also different continents, ocean...
4:44:13reentry doesn't count separately
4:44:18There are also Biomes on each planet. So lets say one for grass land, water, desert, tundra etc
4:44:37bolometers are a different thing
4:44:45*the goo does have new sci for each
4:44:48you can use shift to slowly increase thrust or ctrl to reduce thrust for more control of your orbital insertion
4:44:56you only need one thermo and one baro
4:45:14its the same with the goos and environment
4:45:15They don’t weigh enough to matter
4:45:16the thermo and bar are so light that it doesn't matter
