Transfer Alarms Enhancements

[TriggerAu]

• [ ] Lookahead - schedule alarms for more than the next immediate alarm
• [ ] Calendar view of alarms/transfers (but what is a Kerbal week??)
• [x] Add alarm and remain open

Might need a rethink of the whole transfer alarms thing

There is nothing like a kerbal week (ours originates from the genesis, biblical reference, probably was a time measure in ancient Babylon and tied to the moon phases). As Mun revolves around Kerbin in 38h 36m, a "Kerbal week" equivalent would be 9h 39m long (quite close to a single Kerbal day, therefore of no practical use). In the same way, we could consider a "Kerbal month". Our months are tied to seasonal changes (then also to the zodiac) but originate from a full moon cycle as a time measure of the ancients. But a Kerbal month tied to Mun, being 38h 36m (almost 6.5 Kerbal days) could be of some use. Of course, having Kerbin no axial tilt, there are no seasonal changes, therefore nothing giving the significance of our months to Kerbals. Still, 426 Kerbal days in a Kerbal year is way too much, some intermediate time measure is certainly used by Kerbals (e.g. 6 periods of 71 days each). But for us, who only need to use UT for transfers, any suitable multiple of hours/days would certainly fit.

All very true @diomedea , if I can lay out the visualisation some how that would probably do it, maybe the Calendar view ends up a list( one day per line ) and not an Earth calendar, but I'm saving that one for a rainy day

Just thought I'd leave my .002¢ on a possible calendar UI - Maybe show the calendar as more of an analog clock, and map points on a circle, spiraling outward for subsequent rotations? For me, that seems like a really easy way to visualize an entire Kerbal year at once, especially considering what that means - then Kerbin reaches this point in its orbit, this other thing happens.
