Both of my grandfathers were involved in the Korean war (one was a medic at an Army hospital, the other was a GI), but neither actually saw any combat. Besides treating combat casualties, the medic grandfather had to deal with a nasty outbreak of Japanese encephalitis near Pusan. The GI grandfather was deployed just before the end of the war, and his experience in the Army was relatively uneventful (except for camouflaging himself with poison oak in training camp).

It's good (performance, fixed glitches, etc.), except for the new bug of the airplane landing gear freaking out. For me, this is a game-breaking bug. I used to fly spaceplanes a lot, and now many of my old designs can't make it off the runway. Until this bug is fixed, I rate the update Bad.

This is just happening to me in the 1.1 Jool aerobraking scenario.

While this is technically true, electromagnetic power transfer for microwaves is not usually calculated by this method. Instead, it's calculated by classical electrodynamics, using the Poynting vector: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector

I have El Capitan, and no problems with KSP, besides the non-OS-specific glitches that everyone has (I also didn't have problems in Yosemite).

Yes, there is, but it's quite unreliable (that's why only a few of my ships have it). It will often randomly stop working, or worse, cause uncontrollable spinning (and subsequent Rapid Unplanned Disassembly). The design is still the classic "micro landing legs through structural plate."

My ships that use the Kraken drive routinely take extremely high-energy trajectories in order to have low transit times (10,000 m/s delta-v to Jool, for example). My other, more sane ships use normal transfers.

Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish!

Keep in mind how heavy bronze and brass are, with respect to their strength. For an oxidizer, nitric acid is relatively easy to produce. It has the bonus of being hypergolic with certain fuels (aniline comes to mind). Quality control of fuel is actually important: bad fuels can cause coking/fouling of nozzles.

Right. But Zn/S or rocket candy is allowed (just make sure you know what you're doing). I happen to have the materials to make both in my house right now (although I probably won't have time to actually build an improvised rocket until March).

Does ablator deplete if you point engine exhaust at a heatshield? If so, is it allowed?

Every time someone asks, it gets delayed by 30 minutes.

I first thought that the title meant that 1.05 was coming out in 2 minutes . . .

Well, my game often crashes for real, and I don't love it.

Arsine. It's a highly toxic gas (lethal at concentrations far lower than its odor threshold), which also happens to be extremely flammable, even pyrophoric at the right concentrations.

Ice would work better than diamond. It has a huge heat of fusion (334 J/g), and a high heat capacity to boot.

The communication would be subject to a relativistic Doppler shift, so yes, the messages received would be distorted (Ent/squirrel, but in this case red/blue).

Actually, it's the fourth power of the temperature, by the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

An Eve SSTO is definitely possible with a Kraken drive. It only needs enough fuel to get up to ~800 m/s.

And hydrogen can normally only form one bond. 3C2E bonds aren't normal.

Three carbons in the bond ("three-center"), but yes, no hydrogens.

The 2-norbornyl cation has carbon atoms in the three-center two-electron bond, and no hydrogen atoms. Does that fit what you're thinking of?

A lot of people on this thread mention using power MOSFETs. I would think that SCRs would be a better idea, given that they are capable of handling higher current loads, and that there is no need to stop the discharge once it starts.
