Hello stilicho,
Glad you liked the improvements made to the game [:)]

- Enhance the Vehicle Assembly Building to display all missions scheduled for launch this season, providing a single list the player could use to finish assembly, scrub, or simply view missions.
- Someplace to view a list of multi-season missions in progress. Perhaps a new selectable building next to the Flight controllers building.
You'll get both features in the next patch. I wrote the code for them in the last two days and now the VAB displays a list of scheduled and ongoing missions. You'll now be able to assemble/scrub scheduled missions and review all missions in progress when visiting the Vehicle Assembly Building.

- Mission Configuration List: For programs with multiple configurations, the current list always comes up showing the first configuration in the list. I often absent-mindedly click the "Schedule Mission" button for this first configuration, even though I meant to schedule a later configuration.
-- Instead, could this display be altered to intially display the first mission configuration with unachieved goals? That is generally the next mission players will generally want.
-- If all program goals have been achieved, then the last mission configuration would be initially displayed.
Yes, sometimes I find this annoying myself. I'll try to fit a fix for this in the next patch.

- While running a mission, "Astronaut Involvement" split nearly evenly for all mission steps, 34%, 33%, 33%. Could this allocation be custom-defined for some of the steps? For example, in an Apollo Lunar Landing Mission:
-- Step 8 and 9 (Transposition and Docking) the Command Module Pilot would have the largest involvement.
-- Steps 15 - 20 (All the LEM steps and Lunar EVA) the Commander and Lunar Module Pilot would have the largest involvement.
Indeed, yes, the involvements are read from script files. Notice that the files still need to be tweaked a little bit. We are aiming to release the fixed versions in 0.7.27.

- Apollo Lunar Landing with Surface Rover (Type J): A couple of extra steps might be added, to differentiate it more from the "Type G" mission.
-- Orbital Observation: Inserted between current EVA steps, to simulate CMP's observations froM CSM. Animation could include the launching of the PFS sub-satellite from the Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) on one side of the Service module. Reliability check against CSM, Crew Involvement against CMP.
-- EVA to retrieve film from SIM. Inserted before current Trans-Earth Coast step. Reliability against CSM and Space Suit, Crew Involvement mostly CMP.
I'll add this to the wishlist, they are certainly cool ideas. I cannot promise them for release, though, since we're entering the final sprint and we still need to finish some core game features. In any case, it can always be added in a post-release patch.
Cheers,
