[Is it possible to build it That big?...]

Distant Object is the mod you're looking for. I know I was able to see my satellites in Kerbin orbit from the KSC just fine, at night of course.

[KSP Cheat Sheets?]

Aren't those FAR numbers? Or did the atmospheric update make stock numbers closer to FAR numbers?

These are stock. FAR takes less than this, actually. To orbit Kerbin in FAR you'll need about 3000-3300m/s

[Nothing in the news about the LHC]

I think the CERN institute should have it's own TV channel so it would be separated from all the junk we have in news these days. Only the big discoveries would be covered by regular TV stations, so it's a win-win situation for everybody.

[If there were no limits - what would you make?]

I'd make a huge enough body for it to have it's own gravitational field, so I could have a station orbiting my artificial-moon station which is orbiting a moon which is orbiting a planet which is orbiting a star

[Anyone used the "Ant engine" before?]

Even without consideration of Isp, I still use that for all my satellites for communication network, as there's no better tool for fine tuning the orbit.

What about ion?

[I can't stop rescuing Kerbals!]

I really like those contracts. It forces you to learn how to rendezvous which is crucial for bigger missions (interplanetary let's say). One time a I rescued a female pilot named Natalee Kerman, which is funny because that's the name of the main sidekick character in my book. So she's right up there with Val and Jeb. Val got to the Mun first, Jeb to Minmus and Nat to Duna

[Deep Space Rendezvous]

I'm planning to do that in low solar orbit. But I'm planning to cheat, by just arranging all the modules evenly and thrusting it all out of Kerbin SoI together.

Why not something like Kepler? To put it in the same orbit like Kerbin, only slightly slower/higher.

[Deep Space Rendezvous]

Next stop: solar station

[Do you play with Camera Wobble on?]

I run it both on EVA and IVA on default settings, it's a good G-force gauge. And besides, it looks cool

[Crescent Bay Biome On Laythe Confirmed]

Distribution

{

PresenceChance = 0

MinAbundance = 0

MaxAbundance = 0

Variance = 0

Dispersal = 0

}

}

There's the problem. It says it doesn't exist in the game anymore, too bad though...

[Caught an Asteroid. What do I do with it?]

You could build a base on it. And if you're unsure what to build, ask the community to design modules and implement them in your game

[Everything I've been told about atmospheric pressure in KSP is wrong.]

I usually consider the atmospheric drag to be noticeable until 35km, after that it's like you're in space already. But reading these statements on ascending angles, I should probably limit the thrust on my rocket to prevent them from going 800m/s at 30km

[What new parts could the game realistically use?]

The ALCOR capsule with RPM is what I'd like to see. But apart from that, KAS and KIS would be nice.

[Excess drag in Duna's upper atmosphere]

I have aerobraked on Duna in 1.0.2 with a periaps at about 20km and now that I think about it, the drag was a bit more than I expected. But nothing so extreme as Kerbin's 30km atmosphere. I guess it depends on the look of your spacecraft, if it's wider then of course the drag is higher.

[Miners, miners, miners everywhere - Post your pics here]

Oooh, that's majestic.

I myself hadn't unlocked the mining equipment yet in career, and I don't play sandbox much, so... sorry, nothing for you.

[Now that we have stock fairings...]

The thing I don't like about PF is that it looks ugly compared to stock so I avoid using them. Stock's fine for me, never ran into any trouble with the confetti explosions.

[How is eve so purple?]

The chart is outdated and won't be this way, but sure.

http://i.imgur.com/08hdJyj.png

Remember, this is no longer the official chart, it changed and we don't have the new version yet.

Wow, when was this made exactly? It says under water "When we make life support" and under Nuclear Engines "Once tweakables come around..." so I guess it must be really old o.O

[[Updated September 27th] A Planet Divided: The Story of the Kold War]

That's some quality writing done, hat's off to you

[KSP youtubers impact]

HOCgaming got me hooked, Scott Manley taught me a lot and EnterElysium just made it more fun.

[Twin Asparagus - You're going to go even further, kid!]

Interesting... I haven't used asparagus in quite a while (FAR kinda beats that out of you ) but I might give it a shot now.

[So I'm a writer]

Have you tried to send them to some publishers and see if it can get published and you make some side income? Or maybe you can self publish as ebooks?

I have, but as I said: they aren't checked and edited to be viable for publishing, yet (although my editor/reviewer just contacted me and said the first book is finished). Another problem is that my books are in Croatian for now, and the ebook market over here isn't as profitable or widespread as in the USA. But I hope the first one will get published by the end of the year.

Alright then.

You mention magic (which I am a big fan of... you ever read Eragon?) How much magic are we talking about, and how does it work?

Unless, of course, that is some kind of major plot thing that shoul be discovered...

I've never read it, though I might in the near future (as soon as I finish Metro 2033 and Hyperion). Well, in the world of Ellon, magic is a well kept secret and is achieved through a certain medium [plot point]. So that means only a few people (and I really mean few) know it even exists. But that's in 'War on the horizon' which is a sequel to the first book.

- - - Updated - - -

Much respect, sir. I wrote a book a long time ago in my first year of college, but have since lost that flash drive that held it I always regret not being able to find it...

I wish you luck with your stories!

Oh my, that's a bummer. Luckily, Google Drive exists today

Thank you. I've gotta say the amount of positive feedback I've gotten in these few hours are really something, you're a great bunch

[So I'm a writer]

Interesting! I made a really detailed map of Croatia for a school project once!

I... suppose I'll refrain from further questions and just see for myself what the writing is like when I get to read it.

Really? That's... odd. I never thought anyone would make a map of my nation

Oh, please, if you have any questions just ask, it'll be a while before they are translated.

[So I'm a writer]

That would be pretty cool. What is your native language, out of curiosity?

It's Croatian.

[So I'm a writer]

Hello Space Lounge, it's my first visit here.

I'm in High school. I am also a writer, I've written two books in my native language which are awaiting grammar checks. Translated to English their titles would be: 'About the people of Et-Estir' and 'War on the horizon.' They belong in the history-fantasy genre (not Game of Thrones clones, mind you) and talk about the beginning of civilization, the bronze and iron age coupled with some magic here and there. I'm currently in the process of writing a book in English called 'Just another love story' which tells my life story more or less. I'm also super interested in physics and chemistry and am planning to become a physicist or chemist. So yeah, I'm a bowl of mixed fruit

If anyone's interested, I could perhaps start translating my books to English so you folks could read it some day.

[Interplanetary Transfers - They take years?]

Yep, the missions could take years, even on this scale. In real life, the New Horizons probe we sent to Pluto has been traveling for 10 years now and it's going to encounter Pluto in July. That's a long time.
