You need to download the Kerbal Attachment System mod.

Looks like we have a bug. KSPTV Syvos is streaming right now and we are seeing launch clamps flying through the air several times during launch at altitudes of 10KM-20KM. One even hit the ship and caused rapid unplanned disassembly.

My official guess (and hope) is that it's the ability to time warp while engines are burning (in a more stable fashion and higher rate than previously).

Hey guys, I just saw this morning they said the radial decouplers have been fixed! https://twitter.com/Maxmaps/status/590545253922426882

2/10 I've never seen you, however you make models for mods soooooo you're probably known by a few.

Helix, I remember a color projector... I don't remember a simulation room, where was that? But remember the first color films came out in the early 1930's and wizard of oz came out in 1939. By the late 1950's color projectors were fairly common in theaters I would think, and we all know the military has stuff before the public (especially at that time). And you are right that they strongly emphasized R&D onboard during the journey (there were scientists that "left Earth" to join the crew afterall, probably some of the smarter ones lol). The part I thought was a bit far fetched were the commodore-like computer systems onboard. Didn't those come out in the 80's?

Do you really think there aren't ANY more twists planned for the show?! ;-)

According to the show (and some other videos from the Ascension website): How: Welded steel modules manufactured on Earth, assembled in orbit to a size larger than the Empire State Building. Nuclear powered reactor supplying constant thrust throughout the journey, thereby generating gravity onboard the ship. Water, Algae, livestock and an entire earth-like eco-system brought on board. Far fetched for the 1960's or even today? Yes, the envy of any Kerbal, and that's where the twist comes in. Why: NATO (founded 1949) realized that it could not withstand a Soviet land invasion into Europe, and has always had as one of it's first defensive strategies the use of nuclear weapons to ward off ground advances. They calculated the risk of war with Russia, and along with it the decimation of American civilization to be rather high. I think it stands to reason that if the US thought they could build such a ship at that time, they would've. I mean, they built command posts in mountains, shelters in cities, eventually put nukes on subs, featured "duck and cover" drills and commercials featuring the end of the world nearly every week. Do they even know about the planets there?: Not back then, but the ship was designed to support life onboard 30 years after arrival, and the base building systems where designed to establish the ship's eco-system in structures underground. The ship was also equipped with terraforming labs for multiple types of planets. They didn't need life there, they would bring the life and perpetuate it. Also, don't forget the twist. And what happens if we do get FTL in this alternate reality universe and show up there before them? Then it's even worse.: Worse? no way... then they would have unexpected backup!

Has anyone seen it? If so, what did you think? I particularly like the way they do gravity! Things would get messy though with all that water if the engines ever failed.... PS: If you haven't seen it, DON'T READ THIS THREAD. Rather, go watch it on SyFy.com! Just keep in mind it does contains some "racy" scenes (think: Battlestar Galactica)

Wouldn't that be simply boosting the performance of your Reaction Control System parts? :-p Actually, I think that would be a great addition for the XP system.

A very experienced Kerbal would know how to operate parts or ships more effectively, thereby improving its operation in the area of experience possessed. Example: Driving more Efficiently increases Fuel Economy. Modifications to the air filter, tire pressure, rolling windows up, not using AC, driving at 50 - 55mph, using breaks as little as possible, etc can have a dramatic effect. In addition to everything you do when you fly, Your little Kerbal is doing all those "things" because you kept him around.

So much this!!! I think Squad should play Project: Space Station (Rowes or Maxmaps, if your reading this please consider checking out that game) It was so much fun and what got me into space travel and KSP reminded me of it. It had the space tycoon end of the game DOWN and I was hoping KSP would be more like it, but it hasn't quite met up to that level (yet). Btw: Project: Space Station requires an emulator because it ran on the old Commodore 64s/128s.

When reviewing a Test Part contract in MC, I am finding that I am unsure which parts are being referred to in the contract documents. I identify parts visually mostly, not always by their name and numerical designation. To resolve this I am forced to go to VAB to find the part, then go back to MC and accept or ignore contract. To alleviate this: Please place the "Info Tile" (by this I mean the part button we have in VAB that displays information and a picture of the part) IN the MC contract for the part being referred to. Thanks for considering!

Man, when we were all on the #HYPETRAIN I remember thinking to myself "this is so awesome and is probably going to end horrifically!" ...Yet here we all are safe and sound! Until next time!
