nohomo bro. Basic textbook examples incoming. Don\'t flame me. ;P Inertia makes things lazy. An object at rest wants to stay at rest. An object in motion wants to stay in motion. A ball resting on the ground will not move unless prompted, say, by you kicking it - it\'s inertia means it\'s happy to sit there. If you throw a ball on earth it has external forces acting on it, most notably drag for this example. This slows it down. If you throw the same ball in space.. it\'ll just fly off into the ether. With no external force to slow it down it\'s inertia keeps it moving forever. In your aeroplane example, the aircraft has used it\'s engines to overcome your inertia and given you momentum. Unless there is a force acting on your body counter to that while you\'re in that sealed tube, your momentum will continue. I hope you can also understand by this point the relationship between mass and inertia. Lifting SpaceLab is more difficult than lifting John Glenn. Not just because it weighs more, but because it\'s massive inertia makes it more difficult to move.

I made an Engine :D

It\'s also big. Too big to walk or the movie will be over. I\'m glad you understand what I meant. -

Wait, man. I wasn\'t complaining. You seemed surprised/dismayed people want it smaller. I was offering one reason why this might be so. It\'s awesome. It\'s also big. That is all. -

Don\'t add to the temptation. You\'ll not be doing yourself any justice. =P -

It\'s not how big it is... So they say... For me 1m parts are just more comfortable to use. -
The Super Thread of Questionage
SmiteZero replied to gtaguy's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
Yeah, sorry. Not bashing noobs here. (Intentionally). There are people on the forums with hundreds of posts that haven\'t yet landed on the Mun, and there are people with few that have done it all. I\'m not good in public relations roles. : (No, really..) -

What the... I left at page 1. I come back now and you\'re building Spaceball 1? e: Make these 1m-sized. I want that fairing. -
That\'s quite a nice looking rocket. Real slick. You\'re doing something wrong if you need that much fuel, though.

No, no, it\'s not orbiting. The thing was horrible to launch. Brought my little system to a standstill of <1fps, so, like, I wasn\'t in a hurry to modify my rocket and try again. Space was good enough just for some photos for this one for something I had in mind. Let\'s see. It\'s mostly NovaSilisko\'s parts.. Lunar Lander Parts v1.1 Probodobdyne Construction Kit v0.3 KSP - Silisko Edition The core section at the back (and motor) is from a W.I.P pack posted by caeppersi - Soyuz. ..I think that\'s all.. I\'ll add the .craft here I guess.. (it should be the right one) If it\'s missing parts from the list above, someone let me know.. e: Having a retard moment with the links. You\'re right. Thanks. I thought they were all part of the lander packs. Updated links.

Okay. Fuck you guys. I\'m not playing anymore. :-\ =P -

I haven\'t had much luck yet, but I do like some of the concepts just for their design. -
Now why didn\'t I think of that? :-[ Also, I think mine are too large. Also also I see you built yours sideways.
-
Now if I could only get something that doesn\'t blow up when I try to tip it horizontal... :-\

Yeah! Rocketsled challenge!

I assume the PDF has full images and stats on everything? I guess that means I don\'t need to play to see. Personally - and I know this is a small thing - I don\'t think one should have to download anything specifically to see what they\'re going to download. Use the OP. I know myself I am less inclined to look if the author hasn\'t just shown me everything he wants me to see right away. Basically, 'show me your awesome stuff without me having to do anything!' I am just a lazy consumer. Advertise to me.

That\'s cool. Thanks. The point is so that people don\'t have to download, install the bits and run KSP to find out exactly what they\'re getting. It takes me half an hour every time I want to play the game. Most times I lose interest in playing while waiting to play. Just a little more information in the OP would be really appreciated.

A slide rule is a computer. But I can imagine it would be difficult to play games with. Need lots of imagination.
