Still trying for an Eve SSTO but need some help

I'm having issues with the propellers. It works fine on Kerbin, but on Eve its impossible to control. Its like the CoL moves forward, and the plane wants to point retrograde once I get to a certain altitude. I can close the propeller service bays to regain control but lose control when I open them again. I guess I can try moving the propellers to the back of the plane, but would prefer them in the front to move the CoM forward since theres already a lot of weight with the engines on back. Anyone know whats happening?

Animation for those who don't normally watch animation

I haven't watched much animation since I was a kid outside of occasionally South Park, Family Guy, or the Simpsons, but I haven't really watched even those in the last few years. Then a year or two ago I watched ATLA and LoK after. I just finished a re-watch and am now on a bit of an animation kick. After those I tried Blue Eye Samurai and Arcane, and both where great. Now I'm watching Legend of Vox Machina and Mighty Nein. So far so good. Oh and of course I've been keeping up with Invincible. I guess im looking for more suggestions similar to those, but I can be a bit picky. I thought AoT was good during the first several seasons, but I got lost with the plot and haven't watched the last few.

Recommendations?

I've somewhat recently become addicted to audiobooks. Every time I'm in my car or doing something mindless I put on an audiobook. I had a good stretch of one book I liked after another but now am looking to dig a little deeper. The books I've listened to so far were all books that I kept seeing being recommended over and over again.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Expeditionary Force Bobiverse Project Hail Mary The Martian The Expanse The Children of Time The Silo series Murderbot

Am I missing anything that gets consistently recommended?

What would you recommend that would fit with that list?

Other books I've tried but didn't love

Three body problem The Witcher books Wheel of Time

Matter/ dark matter/ anti-matter relationaship

We know pretty well what matter is and how it interacts with the others.

Dark matter interacts through gravity but not light. Beyond that I haven't heard much else.

And lastly anti-matter has an opposite charge and interacts with matter through annihilation. I think I remember hearing that it would react with dark matter the same way.

So my question is, does anti-dark matter exist, and what are it's properties?

New all-in-one ship design I'm working on

Here I'm undocking the ISRU lander. I wanted to design a ship that wasn't lugging around unused lander engines by having them used as part of the main engines too. The lander also has all the science tools that can be used while landed, while the main ship has the science tools that can only be used in orbit along with a lab. The lander can make it to orbit of kerbin on its own, so it should be able to handle most planets and moons. I still need to test if the whole ship has enough delta v to make it from planet to planet.

What are some good ship names?

I started out with names from The Expanse. So far I've used Canterbury and Donnager for the bigger ships and Rocinante for one of the smaller ones. I then branched out and named another smaller ship Serenity and another big ship Enterprise. I think my next big ship will be Galactica. Anyone have any more good ship names?
