The Universe Is Mostly Empty Space

You can put a telescope on a rocket, move somewhere, and explore more.  Someone (I can't find the post) suggested putting 3 telescopes and 4 dupes in a rocket to explore extra quickly, that's what I find works well.

Edit: I still have a lot to explore, I have only colonized the first 3 asteroids in this save

This is feedback, not a bug

This is both a bug report, and feedback.

This bug persists in the 2021-01-28 Re-Rocketry Update.

I tried putting 3 telescopes on a rocket, and was able to get two of them to work. The middle one didn't work. This behavior is unexpected, because:

1. Telescopes "must be exposed to space" to work, but there is no space exposure inside a spacefarer module

2. Vanilla telescopes require sky visibility, but there is no sky visibility inside a spacefarer module.

3. There is no sun illumination inside a spacefarer module.

The starmap misleads the user by suggesting a "cartographic module" on a rocket, which is not something that exists.

I suggest the following possible fixes to the bug:

1. Delete all references to the non-existent cartographic module. Add to the description of "telescope" that it needs either space exposure, or to be placed inside a rocket command module.

or: 2. Add the cartographic module, whatever that might do, and don't allow telescopes to work inside a rocket command module.
