Woot! The band I'm in placed first in a marching band contest!

What is the most dangerous chemical that you know about
Layereddiagram replied to Ethanadams's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Amatoxin. Its not as acutely toxic as some things listed here, but it is still pretty toxic. Pair that with its delayed effects that don't even start to appear for several hours and by the time they do, your DNA is already irreversibly damaged. -
Wait, that wasn't supposed to happen!

What Are Things You've Heard That Made You Facepalm?

1. They completely ignore the fact that the shuttle is under continuous acceleration 2. That being said, how do they forget that free falling objects fall in a parabola?!! NOT A SEMI-CIRCLE!! -
Put enough energy into one place so that region collapses into a lower ground state. This would cause the region to nucleate and create a bubble with radically different physical constants that would expand at the spend of light. A vacuum metastability event. (This only works if the ground energy state of the universe isn't the lowest it can get) @Dudefinal. I just realized this is almost exactly what you said.

Most Ridiculous Space Theory Ever!
Layereddiagram replied to TronX33's topic in Science & Spaceflight
"There has to be something solid up there at just above 100 km to absorb the infra-red rays of the Sun to cause such a drastic change of temperature from one side of that altitude to the other." Ouch... That logic actually hurts. -
I think it would look fine if they just made it white instead of dark gray.

Landing on the moon in RSS/RO with a Saturn V. It's hard enough to do a transfer to something that's nowhere near your current inclination, but on top of that I had to worry about hydrogen boil off.

Is monopropellant/RCS hypergolic propellant?
Layereddiagram replied to RandomRyan's topic in Science & Spaceflight
As everyone else is saying, KSP's monopropellant is probably decays once it's run over a catalyst. The only alternative that I'm aware of is a compressed gas thruster and hose things have TERRIBLE specific impulse. -
I'm currently a sophomore in high school and planning on going to college. I'll probably major in chemistry and definitely major in a natural science.

I caught on pretty quickly when I started playing. I'd say the game isn't too complicated for kids >12. (Although that was back in .19. Since then the parts list has nearly doubled.)

Oh god, I just noticed the speed limit signed in the background! But anyway, I do love those ISS videos, they give an idea of what it's like up there.

Hopefully they'll use the money to hire more devs. Seriously their team is getting worryingly small.

It's not even vaguely triangular!
