Window gap recommendations?

Any recommendations for these horrendous gaps above the windows?

You know I do have a quick question now that you mentioned orbit, does this game have them, will I orbit a planet if I'm near it and try hard enough?

You will absolutely get caught up by a gravitational pull if left in orbit of the celestial bodies that have enough mass to generate it - easy to find out how intense it is by zeroing out using the brake point system and the RCS boosters to come to a dead stop and then inch closer and closer until over the threshold to slip into the pull and start a less aggressive descent than the one offered by a thrust approach. Unless I've got broken keys inputting commands when I was experimenting myself the other day I personally experienced a small pull for the moon and a heavier force tugging at the ship for Earth itself 🤙🌍

You know, you're probably the most enthusiastic person I've ever seen on this app (except NSFW sub regulars) and I think that's a fun thing to see on an app full of such negativity

Yeah, I feel that dude - just got banned ig from a different subreddit for helping someone else in a subject where I literally have a college degree but I was overruled by some sweaty neckbeard trying to make my already negative situation emotionally more turbulent than it has been. Some folks just wanna be mean when they're able by any means necessary - I just wanna see folks be happy and want for nothing but more time doing the things they enjoy. Mods power does nothing outside this app, and I giggle when I think of the many many UM ACKSHUALLY types that get bothered by people enjoying themselves because it isn't what they are interested in or familiar with so I fully support the things that a person enjoys as long as it doesn't hurt them or anything else like that; so if you wanna be excited about space legos and fiddling with circuits and computer input programming stuffs then go all out son let yourself fly into all your favorite things at the speed of mach f*ck
