-==Libraries==
-A collection of helpful developement addons and libs can be found wihin the NASA github repository: https://github.com/wildstarnasa
-Most recommended Addon:
-*'''Rover''': You can send any type of data to the ingame rover-table by using SendVarToRover("label", <the_data_you_want_to_inspect>) after installing this addon. Rover can then be opened with /rover and will come up with a really nice and super helpful data inspection window.
