Aethon

Can the sail be used as the antenna?

Another lecture by Jeff Moore, March 2 2016, giving the latest information from Pluto.

I thought Michelson-Morley and relativity killed the idea of the "Luminiferous Aether" years ago. Is it back in the form of the Higgs field?

Welcome to the forums. Never give up!

Yeah. It was a few seconds before MaxQ.

Yeah. That was my later explanation, less atmosphere, but it just seems like the flames are coming out ahead of the rocket nozzles. Obviously it was nominal because it was able to NAIL the landing! Wooooooooooooooo!

No. Apparently the uploader of this video has edited it. The part I'm referring to now starts at 20:00. I recommend watching from 19:50 through 20:30 or so.

Wow.. Ok I've calmed down a bit. (tee heee) Apparently I can't post a video url with a specific time stamp on it. Skip ahead in this video to 28:25, the part I'm referencing starts at 28:30. Ignore the sound.. it's way out of sync for some reason. Did anyone notice the flames that started to appear around the tank butt, prograde of the engines at that this point? I kept thinking this was going to be a catastrophic failure. Is this normal and what is it exactly? Ok this video is messed up.. Now the point I'm talking about is at 20 minutes.

Scott Manleys' KSP member name. Wooooooo!

Now the nearby support ship comes and retrieves the booster. I'm so happy . Great accomplishment.

Wow, Just wow. Tears in my eyes. I'll remember this forever. Congratulations Space x and humanity in general!

I'm not so sure about this scenario. IMO snowball is much easier to recover from than runaway greenhouse, as evidenced by the Earth actually doing it. The step you're missing is volcanic action reintroducing green house gasses like carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Since the sea is mostly frozen, the CO2 isn't able to be reabsorbed into to the hydrological cycle by the sea, therefore building up CO2 concentration in the atmo. raising the temperature and melting the snowball earth.

I'm not sure it'll be much help but here's a SAR ScanSat map of Moho. Crater floors are usually flatish.

Whack a kerbal? In the f12 menu...

You're doing just fine Polnoch. We understand English isn't your first language.

Wow. Getting closer 51% KSP to 49% other guy.

Welcome to the forums! This may help. Ooops linked the wrong vid. Fear not Corbett. Soon you'l get the hang of it and do it in your sleep. Hmmm. For some reason the right video won't link. It's video 11 in Scot Manleys' Career tutorial.

That's terrible.

MMm. Spit Reuben.. It's my policy to treat the people who prepare and handle my food as if they were divine beings. They have incredible power over what is (or isn't) in your food.

Wow. What have you done with the grumpy space hippy? Who are you man?

Get your 3D glasses. Interesting that the valleys run parallel to the bladed terrain. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/pluto-s-bladed-terrain-in-3-d

Send the entire internet. Google servers, Wikipedia.. There's enough redundancy built in they'll figure it out.

It would sure be a disappointment if the penultimate moment comes, we finally receive communication from another space intelligence, and the message turns out to be something we all learned in first grade.
