If a manned orbit like Mercury is accomplished prior to an artificial satellite like Explorer, the Lunar missions will not correctly unlock. The new tooltip box will show it as unlocked, but the 2 blue boxes next to the moon on the map will not show available missions, and if you try to go into the ...

When you sort controllers by skills, it initially sorts them lowest to highest. You have to press the sort button again to sort them highest to lowest. It would be nicer to sort them highest to lowest the first time.

I like your idea. There was a NASA documentary where Gene Kranz stated that nobody knew what the surface of the moon was going to be like - it could have been 4 feet of soft snow-like powder that a manned lander would sink straight into. It wasn't until the landing on the Surveyor probe that the moo...

Iain, I think the Mission tab at the bottom right of the main interface is underused. Currently it only leads to a pair of tabs (Missions Planned/Missions in Progress). Maybe a third tab could be added: 'Launch Mission' or some such thing. There's a lot of real estate in that tab, plenty of area to ...

The iffy interface is pretty well-documented. To be honest, though, I don't really mind that much. Just press on and get used to it. Once you have 10 hours in the game it becomes manageable. Given the choice between the developers giving their time to UI work or new content, I'd hands down take the ...

Any of the Prep, Countdown, or Launch stages that end in failure should give a chance of damaging or destroying the launch pad. I'm sure we all know the story of N1 blowing up just off the pad and closing the launch pad for a year and a half.

What difficulty level are you at? Playing on hard and buzz-hard, I've been beaten by CPU 6 times in a row. Having a failed launch is a real bastard.
