  1. Nice asteroids, I tried connecting two and making a station that spins but it didnt go so well.
  2. I dont know if it will help, but this is pretty interesting. http://www.neuroproductions.be/logic-lab/index.php?id=52
  3. I just drained an entire Kethane deposit and the tank isn't even full. And I cant take off, so I have to send a rover or something to take some of it away.
  4. See here http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/28374-Asparagus-Staging-in-Real-Life and here http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/25803-Asparagus-Staging Search is your friend.
  5. Look at page 17 http://www.csc.caltech.edu/stuff/VoyagerFinalReport.pdf Its team voyagers entry to the Caltech space challenge. Its uses an image from ksp
  6. I'm sorry but [Citation Needed] this is what i found http://www.alcor.org/FAQs/faq02.html#revived Q: Has an animal ever been cryopreserved and revived? A: Small roundworms (nematodes) and possibly some insects can survive temperatures below -100°C. However, since scientists are still struggling to cryopreserve many individual organs, it should be obvious that no large animal has ever been cryopreserved and revived. Such an achievement is still likely decades in the future. Frogs, turtles, and some other animals can survive "freezing" at temperatures a few degrees below 0°C. These animals are frozen in the sense that significant fractions of their body water converts to ice. However they are not truly cryopreserved. The fluid between ice crystals is still liquid, chemistry is slowed, not stopped, and the state can only be sustained for a few months. If these animals were cooled to temperatures required for true long-term stability (i.e. below the glass transition temperature) they would not survive.
  7. I assume large amounts of the projectile would stay in the ship but at that velocity you would have to smack it into a planet to stop it, and even vapor at 4% C would do plenty of damage
  8. "Against Covenant shield technology, the rounds possess enough kinetic energy to punch through shields, cut through the ship, and, upon exit, still retain enough energy to destroy a second ship, and cripple a third ship." Thats why. While a laser could potentially deliver the same amount of energy, it would not punch through so much as vaporize the top layers and have the rest of the energy scattered in the vapor. Accelerating a missile to anything close to 4% C would crush any kind of guidance built in due to extreme g-load, assuming it takes less than a second for the projectile to leave the weapon its 0 m/s to 11991698.32 m/s in an instant. if someone would like to calculate the g-force of such a launch i would be interested in seeing the result.
  9. I actually think it was removed, in 19.1 im pretty sure that you could edit the orbit of the magic boulder with hyperedit but in .20 its no longer in the hyperedit menu. I need someone who still has 19.1 to test this please.
  10. Provided that you can actually build and power the damn thing there isn't really a good reason why it wouldn't work but it would be a logistical nightmare to have even one of them. Most people think it would just push itself out of orbit but " a pair of thrusters on the bottom side of the station fire for a few seconds to counteract the inertia imparted to the station.". If you were to build a working one you would be carrying the biggest non-nuclear stick anyone would ever need, and with the projectile speed at 4% C (lightspeed) you could hit nearly anything... really really hard. *edit* They are also AWESOME!
  11. Sorry if the image is huge, but id like something like this except with a Kerbal please.
  12. The first thing i did was launch to the Mun to plant a flag http://imgur.com/a/DICNe#0 Weirdly enough the Neil Armstrong memorial is floating pretty far above the ground. P.S. Flags can be planted on eastereggs
  13. The rust will cause your solid propellant to burn hotter and faster because its an oxidizer (Iron OXIDE) i dont have any numbers or anything because i don't really measure much while making them but i have gotten great results. Drilling a hole down the center will cause more fuel to be burning at any given time but it can also cause an explosion, or at least a fireball. I just experiment with different materials until i find something i like. Adding a small amount of baking soda will cause the fuel to burn a bit slower, but the key is that pretty much anything organic or reactive can be added to the fuel for different effects. Rocket science isnt so hard once you give up on numbers Also if your really careful you can use mercury to cause aluminum to rust almost completely and that can be added to the fuel. No.1 tip NEVER INHALE VAPORS
  14. Use rust powder in the next batch, don't buy the pre-made rust use homemade.
