ModZero

Ah, same bug as Capt. Hunt here, + Kerbals waiting for rescue get quite unhappy.

Well, as a necromancer you should be able to bring it back (check the date on my post :P).

Um, I have my doubts, because that's not how it works. Not in a black and white manner you seem to think it does.

Jeebus, ya'll need to stop pretending you know something about consumer laws, in EU or otherwise.

Best events are the one nobody knows about. That's exclusive.

Really, including the EM drive breaks the competition. It's on an entirely different level of improbability, and should compete with "just sailing over the edge of the world, and keeping some cable to reel yourself back in".

But brutal is not only an aesthetic, it's the best aesthetic!

Flame war. Flame war never changes.

Orbital/ATK is generally cool in "Jeb's Junkyard & Spaceship Parts" way. Also, one of their orbital rockets has a recoverable crewed first stage that can also take passengers across the ocean, if need be. Eat your heart out, Elon Musk!

I'm also experiencing issues with changing sizes, and I do have FAR installed. Changing scenes (e.g. exiting VAB and immediately entering it, launching and reverting) applies the changes, and the bottom attachment node moves (but surface attachment applies to the unchanged model). I don't really have enough time to test in proper isolation from other mods righ now, I'll try to scavenge some time tomorrow, for now just corroborating @Chris97b's observation, FWIW.

That's cool, but it lacks the explosion and (intentionally) losing bits on launch. Though the fire extinguishers and the small puff on fire at the end mostly compensate. Also, Dnepr is silver/green.

F9 would be plain, but it's ridiculously slender, so that's something. I kinda like Antares, because it's a bit stubbier than expected (by my visual cortex, anyway). But the only thing that can contend with the R7/Soyuz family is Dnepr (because of the launch mode, of course - someone should subsidize making more of them, because there's a limited amount of those, but world would be much less fun without Dnepr launches).

Aw. I don't consider myself equipped to thinking if that's the right decision (deciding things 'like' NSF should have more money is easy, whether a 47-year old telescope is still the best way to spend 12 mil - not so much), but Arecibo is quite symbolic. It would be really sad to see it go, on a purely emotional level.

Ah, I kinda hoped that you two actually worked together on this, it wouldn't be the first time :-) Having to choose between these would break my fragile heart :-/ Also, he has a thread about it.

Look, actually, you can see quite a few hints, from quite a few places, about what to do: use the word "crewed". You'll live. EOT from me, before things get very silly indeed. EDIT: and don't use the word "female" when you refer to women, or you're going to be made fun of on the Internet.

While corporations are well known for how well they keep their promises, Emily Lakedwalla asked: Also, pretty much everyone is (finally) using the term "crewed" this time, it would be super-nice if this really nice forum would take note of that as well.

I'm not the modder, but unless they did something very exotic, yes - regardless of OS, actually. EDIT: OTOH, there's no real reason to do so - they're harmless.

Those are Mac OS metadata files.

Considering the scope of Kerbalism, I'd think you'd probably have more luck in that thread than here (as it does its very own thing, and would be pretty much just using the models). I do kinda hope RoverDude looks at that mod though, IMO it has some nice ideas in its UI :-)

The webcomic Strong Female Protagonist has a near-superman working as a firefighter. Invulnerability and super strength definitely come in handy.

So, tell me, how do you modify the joints to suddenly handle two sets of arms hanging off it? And it seems that despite being quite smart and socially capable they can't keep it up against a bunch of hairless monkeys with opposable fingers. Even though we have tools that enable us to work efficiently with just one hand, but a lot of that was (ultimately) done by people who had two agile hands. Hands with fingers not only grab, but are very precise. Octopuses sound more likely, but there's the question of how an aquatic creature comes up with fire.

I hope people will learn that large scale projects for their own sake aren't a good thing. So the next "large scale project" should be making sure the solar system is positively crawling with robots.

The teleconference after CRS-8 actually had this question, around 28:54, inflation 25-26th of May (lot of work to prepare, and they want a quiet period). Because they can afford it and the taxes are too low.

There are two problems with this: one is, I could say the same about my cup of tea, if I glued a switch to it. 2nd, people actually did that quite a lot, it turned out it did nothing. Which wasn't particularly surprising. So even if Skylon was completely imaginary, it would still be ahead of EM drive. And the reason I'm quite angry here is, in contrast to EM drive there's a lot of work by competent people put into SABRE. The economics are against them, but they put honest work and real technical (if not business) competence into it. Comparing it to some technobabble scam is insulting.

Only if you kick one very hard. EDIT: I'm getting annoyed, because while Skylon might be a pie-in-the-sky solution-in-search-of-a-problem silly idea that looks cool, at least nobody is claiming it's propelled by magic, goodwill and shards of broken laws of physics.
