  1. Well, I guess all projects slow down after a while. I used this project as evidence that I should be put into the STEM program at my school, and it worked! This thread holds a special place in my heart. I would love to try and post it on the subeditor or something to get new people on board, or just start a new one with different challenges.

    Well, i use ksp v 1.4.3, but the game saves my targetting when i switch back to the craft. What do you intend to target?

    I am just trying to get full control all the time on the active vessel. As far as I know, this is not possible and you must constantly re-targeting (which you can’t do when you have no control).

  3. Do i have to constantly re target things when i have a craft orbiting a planet at a low altitude? Is there a way to automate that?

     

     

    Edit: I am using the mod remote tech, which adds Lightspeed, less kerbin dishes, and is the reason for this problem. I am not targeting in the stock sense, but rather using a menu that comes with the mod.

  4. sorry, i will go now. Should i zip it up when i am done? i have no way to create a mac version..

     

    EDIT: Mission failed.

    Cause: Improper tug design, tugs would have to be left on, which would have gone over the part limit. I knew I should have stuck with a wraparound design.

    Status: station appears to be stable, may have fell a few decameters. payload successfully detached and deorbited

    Next launch window: Tomorrow after school.

     

     

  5. Y'know, some people say video games are stupid, and they can't understand that stupid is relative. Don't let anyone tell you that launching a virtual ship for your mom is dumb. It's no more dumb then burying them in a wooden box or burning them to ashes.

     

    Although I have to ask. are those lots of lights? if so, how are they powered?

    There is a difference between "space" and "fantasy".

    Fantasies have their place, but it's useful to keep science and fantasy distinct. Science has taught us that no complex organism we have any evidence of has ever had a species lifetime of billions of years.

    because the only species we observed never leaved their home planet. they never developed as far as we did.

    Comparing us to other species here on earth is a bad comparison. You can't predict how long humans will exist based on how long the dinosaurs roamed around doing nothing but reproducing. Logic says that more planets=longer lifespan.

    Humans have been around for 50,000 years or so. Hominids for maybe 1-2M years. Mammals for a few hundred million years.

    You are talking about timescales of Billions of years. There is essentially 0% chance that humans will exist by the time the sun moves to the red giant phase.

    But we as space enthusiasts want to increase those odds by going to other planets, galaxies maybe even other universes. that can only be done in space.

    If Venus is so Earth like, with pressure, temperature and gravity, then why not stay here? On Mars you at least got challenges and problems that you can learn from, and go further with. Sure, Venus got its challenges too, but making a balloon float above Hell is only going to make you move forward if we had more Venuses in our Solar System. And suprise suprise, Mars has flaws most celestial bodies have too, so, if you learn how to for example protect yourself from solar radiation, you can also live on other alien worlds with solar radiation as a problem.

    Im afraid this is a stupid argument.

    We don't want to go to mars for the challenge. We want to spread out to not all become extinct. Venus would be an easier first step in my opinion and seems more appealing considering it would be rather pretty to be above the clouds and easier to adjust to the normal gravity. A journey home would take much less time. obviously mars would be the second choice since it won't be eaten when the sun becomes a red giant and it would make for much smaller rockets if we produced them on mars. But people need to be interested in moving to another planet. And Venus would be the perfect tourist attraction to generate interest.
