The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Latest KSP version to work with RSS and RSSVE?
https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealSolarSystem / https://github.com/KSP-RO/RSSVE Straight from the source, most recent is always in github releases

I’m begging you.
Step 4: Real Solar System. This is the bread and butter of KSP RSSRO. Download the newest release here: https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealSolarSystem/releases/tag/v18.1.4. Once you have done this, download the latest RSS textures (right here https://github.com/KSP-RO/RSS-Textures/releases/tag/v18.3) and pick one of the options. What you pick is dependent on your ram. If you have 16 gb or more and a powerful processor, the 16384 (16k) should be fine. If you have 8, I would suggest the 2048. If you have 16 gb but a lower end processor, I'd get the 8k or 4k textures respectively. I like 8k, it works well for my i5 6600k. Move the folder included (RSS-Textures) to the GameData folder. After that, you should be good.

Looking for a mod that emulates the real solar system in terms of distances, mass and motion
You’ve seemingly slept on many mods that do just that.

What I need to know before getting into this

[long post] Spent over ~5 real life days trying to get an orbiter into... orbit. Is this normal?
So, I'm not used to reading KER windows (MJ behaves rather better with RO and RP-1 because it supports the latest RF features--if you're going by KER you will get less delta V in practice than it tells you) -- is the delta V you're showing vacuum or atmospheric? Same for the thrust. I highly recommend reading False KSP Lessons and in particular Myth 1, it seems relevant. :)

Four RS-25 engines fire at the same time to simulate the stage’s operation during the launch of NASA's Artemis Program mission to the Moon.
We wrote an article exactly about this! https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealismOverhaul/wiki/False-KSP-Lessons
