What ever happened to MatoroIgnika?
Interplanetary Engineer replied to Interplanetary Engineer's topic in The Lounge
Thank you! -
I remember finding MatoroIgnika's Twitch streams quite enjoyable a few years ago, especially the space station building series. But now, I can find almost no trace of him or his channel on the internet - does anyone know what happened to him? Is all of the old content just gone? Is he still active somewhere?

Does anyone know how and where to find the configuration file for the Extend-o-matic Series A1 Deployable Flag? I need to look some stats up, thank you in advance!

The Saga of Emiko Station - Complete
Interplanetary Engineer replied to Just Jim's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
Aaah ... the suspense! So many suspicious characters doing so many weired things and so many possibilities for something to go horribly wrong! Keep up the amazing storytelling! -
Intrepid. Stage-And-A-Half Shuttle.
Interplanetary Engineer replied to Rune's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
Well, you beat me there. I worked on a very similar concept a while ago, but I just aimed too high with the payload fraction. Good job as always though, keep up the great work! -
SpaceX Mars colony predictions
Interplanetary Engineer replied to Spaceception's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I think (or hope, at least) that humans will probably visit Mars within this decade (or my liftime, if I'm lucky), but probably not within the next twenty years. I mean, we have the tecnology and all, but we've got a heck of a lot of planning and engineering to do before it might just become bankable for such a buisness as SpaceX. About the whole colonisation of planets will save humankind thing: I don't really think so. Until we manage to terraform Mars it enough to live there without a spacesuit (if that's even possible), humans will probably have gone extinct. I think our best bet would be Titan. You can already survive there now with a heated swimming suit, and being able to fly with wings strapped to your arms just tops it all. -
While a clever row of gravity assits around Jupiter's (almost wrote "Jools") moons should slow you down very much from interplanetary speeds, but you would most probably need at least some manner of breaking by rocket propulsion. No need for a soft landing though when you have a sturdy enough probe, and a bullet-shaped one could also reduce the G's faced greatly.

[STOCK] Saturn V Replica
Interplanetary Engineer replied to Bubbadevlin's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
That is a serious case of awesomeness. You made the best replica of all time and space there. Have a well-earned replike while I'm busy being stunned!
