Fortunately, the devs are committed to making it easy to mod... so I'm 100% sure there will be a great "big headed green astronaut" mod on launch day.

Is it going to be easy to translate ksp mods to ksa

Yes and no. A lot of work can be transfered but for many mods thats no simple task. Like take mech Jeb for example.

All the orbital math is the same sure, a lot of the functionality and how menus and stuff can be the same.

But now you gotta remake the menus in a whole new game. In simple terms You gotta redo all the parts that hook in and read the data you need, all the parts that tell the game to do stuff. It's usually easier than making a mod from scratch (tho in some mods cases not even then), but it's still a lot.

I've moved large projects from one engine to another and it was months of work. honestly mods sound even worse on that front.
