*Added Moon retexture from SpacedInvader
*Added bodyName support
*Parsing changes, using stupid_chris's ConfigNodeExtensions
*Added KSCSwitcher from regex: can switch KSC to other presets in Tracking Station
*Added KSCSwitcher from regex: can switch KSC to other presets in the Tracking Station
*Added many, many launch site configurations (compiled by eggrobin from the work by Captain Party, ferram, and others)
*Added new descriptions to all Celestial Bodies, thanks to TheKosmonaut/SpaceAnt
*Speedup in timewarpchecker from swamp_ig
*Added support for PQS->scaledspace wrapping (for real this time; didn't work before).
*Added support for replacing scaledspace meshes with spheres (use this for now, importing is broken)

Made up largely of hydrogen and helium with a relatively mysterious rocky core of heavy elements, Jupiter bears a unique and beautiful cosmic painting of various layers with a prominent and awe-inspiring storm that is said to have existed possibly over three-centuries. Jupiter has at least sixty-seven moons counting the four large “Galilean Moons”, one of which has a greater diameter than the first planet Mercury.

bodyDescription = The closest Galilean moon to Jupiter, and the fourth-largest moon in our Solar System, Io, like all other Galilean moons, was named after one of Zeus’s lovers. Io is the most active body in the Solar System geologically which produces an effect on the other moons in Jupiter’s grasp. There have been observations of large eruptions that are estimated to rise up to five-hundred-kilometers. Io is made up of silicate rock with an iron sulfide core which can give it the distinctive look achieved by plains coated in sulfur and sulfur dioxide.
