  1. Inside SpinLaunch, the Space Industry’s Best Kept Secret | WIRED

    Well this is very interesting. Spinlaunch wants to use a massive football field sized centrifuge inside a vacuum to launch a small rocket to 5,000 MPH to put 200 pounds into orbit.  Owner says it will reduce prices of small satellites by a factor of 20, with up to 5 launches a day, under 500k a launch. They have built a smaller version for testing and ran it a few hundred times. Even though the G-Forces are in the thousands, the parts they tested could handle it and still work.

    Guys, guys, guys...

    Back, a few months ago, when there was the ksptv livetsream, Umocapra did say that there was some incredible content coming in 1.11....so with all due respect, these suggestions are likely to be moot, seeing as Squad already has their plans in action.

    Cheers-

    Very interesting. To be honest the current update as it is isn't too exciting for me. The only thing that I'm liking is the navigation lights.  I really wonder what this incredible content is considering they haven't included it in the KSP loading, which already has a bunch of new stuff for 1.11. 

  3. Sorry for not responding, but thanks for the help guys. Turns out one of my friends are upgrading their own PSU and is going to give me their old one. Its a Insignia 450 Watt PSU. More power and actually has a 8 pin PCI-E Cable (Turns out I only had a 6 pin) Although its really cheap. Pretty good reviews though https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-450w-atx12v-2-4-eps12v-2-92-80-plus-power-supply-gray/5976300.p?acampID=0&irclickid=w6zWtJXnIxyOTa7xTSQPxVT4UkiVoy1p0S%3A8X40&irgwc=1&loc=Bing+Rebates+by+Microsoft&mpid=2003851&ref=198&skuId=5976300

  4. Hello folks, I'm looking my upgrade my GPU to play KSP 2 and Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. Unfortunately I bought this as a pre built and it only has a 400 watt PSU. I currently have a GTX 1050 2GB and want to upgrade to a GTX 1660 Super soon. Could I still run it on 400 watts? This is my PSU https://www.apexgaming.info/products/copy-of-apexgaming-ai-400-400w80-non-modular-power-supply

    For other things that run power:

    My CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G 

    RAM: 2x8 at 3200mhz

    7.4k HDD and a small SSD

    Plus a few USB devices

  5. In the next step of the Mun base and Space station, a large Miner was developed. With the size of the new miner, a new 3 meter launcher was made

    The miner set up near the Munar prospector that was sent earlier.

    With the Miner safely extracting ore on the Mun, the expansion of the station was launched. It used the same lifter as the miner.

    A small tug was also included and helped dock the new expansion. The 3 kerbals docked at station were happy to finally stay somewhere else beyond their small capsule.

    By the time the station was expanded, the miner was full. Although the station had no fuel or ore storage yet, it was still launched to the station.

    Also made a sorta fighter jet

  6. Made a resource scanning satellite for the Mun

    Launch went well, except the second second stage was pretty weak and the launch stage only made got the probe to half orbital speed.

    Then I made a Munar Prospector and a low level Scanner.

    The rocket was same as the other expect the removal of the SRBs and the addition of large lower stage

    In preparation for the base on the Mun, a new lander was built. A space station will also be built in low Mun orbit to support the future base and ore deliverers
