Laythe - Galileo88/JNSQ GitHub Wiki
Half of the green giant's glory rests in what is the widest and heaviest moon observed yet. The hard questions easily arise at the thought of Laythe, such as: Why? How? Is it safe from Jool's radiation? How soon can we go? Can we make snacks just as good once we get there and not live on dehydrated stuff forever?
Like Kerbin, Laythe possesses "7 seas" inviting players to attempt circumnavigation challenges. Elements of active volcanism and tectonics, among a few surprises, wait to be found by daring adventurers.
