    So in short we aren't, right guys?

    Why is everyone leaving...

    As far as I can remember I used my medium sized one man ssto till 10,000 feet, rolled the plane 180* sideways and closed my engines, lights, everything, I came down on the dependency of the atmosphere, the ssto was slowly pitching up whilst coming down and the speed was insane around 400 mps (I guess, maybe it was around 300) as soon as I hit 2000 m or so, I pitched up, without engine or anything, and the plane slowed down insanley fast (though my pilot took 8gs), I deployed gears, and had a bumby landing on not a runway, but on plain bumpy terrain of grass, no brakes or so, the plane just went on and on until it reached an uphill slide and finally slowed down, due to which I lost a tail fin. You don't see that everyday, do you?

    I have been pretty inactive for a while now as there is no recent large scale scientific drama/event/news is happening, which also has left me uninterested for you know, knowledge hunting... So shall we discuss anything which is big and may come possibly in the near future? Or is happening right now?

    Why isn't anything interesting happening in science

    Yea. That.

    Guys don't hate on me but what Nibb31 says is the hard truth. There is no point colonizing planets right now, first we need to fix our own world. Once perfect enough and we have loads of extra resources, we can explore and colonize for science. Especially if it benefits us with resources like Karbonite in KSP... A very BS example I have (in a retrospective) is the lore of Independence day. They made ESD because they needed to survive from outside threats... A bit optimistic what I said, but better than being that edgy teen who says nothing will happen.

    I made a post where I implied that species could be unimaginably different, I still disagree there is a paradox, the only thing which makes this a paradox is that we communicate through light, which is the fastest method we have (enlighten me if there is any other before you get ready to out irony me with arguments) which is still really, really slow for the vast universe. And then there are other things such as light years, which makes things more confusing. But the truth or common sense is this - We are slow compared to the universe. And thats why one day it will be difficult for us to explore it.

    Somehow will come up with a pseudo smart argument that they are also made by gods, are gods, prank by governments, accept it yet still be delusional about god, civil war, anarchy blah blah blah I mean people say that dinosaur fossils were put by the devil to confuse us ffs...

    YES! The game crash when deletion of certain parts bug was killing me!

    GUYS! This is what annoys me - When a "smart", "nerd" and "genius" protagonist cannot understand simple science statements which another "scientist" or "geek person" says to them, and then they explain the protagonist like explaining something to a 5 year old. Cringe. Like when the black guy explains Cooper how wormholes work, Cooper knew relativity so well, how the hell did he not know about how wormholes work? In Ant Man, Hank Pym explains "It decreases atomic relative distance, you will go subatomic" and Scott asks "what", I mean what the hell, you have a masters in electrical engineering and you don't know what those simple statements mean? I know it is to explain the audience, but not everyone in the audience is mentally retarded...

    Besides the bugfixes do we have new features?

    Hello! Hi @Nibb31
  23. RenegadeRad
    Maybe, Just maybe the species would be extremophilic bacterium? kinda like Deinococcus radiodurans? We usually make a hypothesis upon how our world works. Maybe life out there can develop in unimaginable conditions life which here would not develop because we are limited to such conditions, and they are limited to our conditions? According to Dr. Ian Malcolm - "Life, uh, finds a way..."

    Hey can you show me some pictures and story about your spacecraft Kronos?

      Actually, it concluded on page 982, it picked up at 981.

      ...From 943, where I left it. This is the third Laythe mission, starring Tandan, Sigrid & Bilfal, and the Kronos_C_MkII.

      I think it is really hard to achieve what you did from stock parts :P Look at me, using mods still can't achieve anything :(

      It was ridiculously hard. At times I almost gave up. As I said, it's not the right way to do it, but at that time I imagined that rendezvous and docking would be harder. People have done even harder things though, like Eve. I'm still tinkering with that.

      Also, Kronos has a long pre-history as well as pre-story. Note that the first mission rocket was Kronos_A aka Kronos_X14. That means thirteen previous versions. The Kronos_X13 did the trip unmanned, the dress-rehearsal so to speak. But even before the Kronos rockets there were the Banshees.

      Similar concept and somewhat similar. They relied heavily on atmosphere braking on Jool though.

      Two unmanned Banshee experimentals attempted dress-rehearsal on Laythe. The first one failed to achieve orbit again on re-launch from Laythe. The other, much improved, made the whole round trip. But before I could do a manned mission with Banshee, KSP v1 was deployed. And with it came a re-entry heat model. It was no longer possible to aero-brake on Jool. And even milder aero-braking required heat shields. And it required more fuel. So I started from scratch again with Kronos. I probably wouldn't have persevered as stubbornly, if I hadn't already made it with the Banshees. I kept thinking that if I only could provide heat shields and stability for aero-braking and also somehow improve the fuel budget somewhat, then I'd be in business.

      And, well, that's how it played out.

      My main point, which I think you should take with you, is that I didn't just bolt together Kronos. I worked out solutions to issues, solved problems. Again, again and again. I'm still at it. I have small things to fix, resulting in a Kronos_D (Kronos_X18). I don't know that it'll ever fly though. I think I'm going to consider Eve for a while.

    This is not the real Nibb31! I heard the smart fellow says something interesting without procrastinating the points! But, you have a point. From wiki -"Although the Cassini–Huygens mission was not equipped to provide evidence forbiosignatures or complex organic compounds, it showed an environment on Titan that is similar, in some ways, to ones theorized for the primordial Earth. Scientists surmise that the atmosphere of early Earth was similar in composition to the current atmosphere on Titan, with the important exception of a lack of water vapor on Titan."
