KSP 1.0 Careermode: Day 3 and update 1.0.1 and 1.0.2

New updates! 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 have just released and changed a lot of things. By the looks of it, it's a bit harder to orbit my rockets but it's much easier to reenter without blowing up. My standard R-05 rocket still makes it to orbit with fuel to spare, but it's a little less then before. Reentry is now very easy. Heating effects stop at about 13km instead of 8km and my heatshield is almost undammaged after reentry. It's now unwise to deploy parachutes too high since they will get burned. I didn't deploy before reaching 400m/s anyway but it's something to watch. Also, the chutes now deploy more gradually. Speed bleeds away much much slower, so Kerbals don't get exposed to enormous G-forces anymore.

Now for my careermode. I'm picking contracts to test parts and launch tourist in space to get more money. I hope to upgrade mission control, but this will set me back 228k in money. That requires a lot of contracts.

Jeb has taken two tourist in a suborbital flight and made quite a sum of money and Valentina made headlines taking a female tourist in orbit. This was the first all-female mission and the first tourist in orbit. That will bring some much needed positive PR!

I still need a lot more money and some science as well. Mun is still tempting Jeb and I'm afraid he won't wait much longer. Jeb is not the tourist-guide kind of guy...
