    Nope. Blowing and smashing Human Beings doesn't appears to be a mentaly healthy way to spend weekends. :)

    This may even impact the brand - KSP needs to be playable by kids of all ages, not only by PG-13 audience. So I think this Add'On would be have some reserves on Forum.

    Then dont download it.

     

    Thats the thing with mods, no one forces you to play them

    Yes, back in the 60s or 70s (I can’t remember exactly) there was a treaty signed by most nations - including the US - that banned the use of space for military purposes. This is why I hate the idea of a Space Force. It’s not only breaking a treaty that our country signed, but it is trying to turn space into a military ground* dominated by just America and not an open region of exploration. Dividing it up into areas controlled by specific nations just seems wrong.

    *that was a terrible word to use because, well, there’s no actual ground in space except for planets and moons

    Actually there are some situations  where technology gets sat on. Not for any nefarious  reasons either but safety.

    When it comes to energy and propulsion the more powerful  it is the more dangerous it is. For example A lot of the project Orion stuff is still deeply classified  due to the potential of it being used to make miniaturized  nukes using little nuclear material plus the directed energy research  that lead on from that.

     

    The world is a dangerous place and there are more than a few people, organisation's  and country's that could do a lot of damage even with what seems like harmless technology.

     

    Even in my own field  of microbilogy  there are things that are kept discreet and only worked on under intense  government  scrutiny due to potential  danger of misuse.

     

     

    If something like anti matter, warp drives or any other "miracle" ever was created I would expect it to be kept under the tightest  scrutiny.

    A fusion-powered Pluto mission will be quite the challenge. Not that going nearly 10% the speed of light would make the journey to Pluto hard, but just one teensy little issue:

      Reveal hidden contents

    WE CAN'T CREATE NUCLEAR FUSION YET

     

    Actually  wrong.

     

    We have been able to do fusion  since 1952.

     

    The problem  is controlling  it.

     

    The biggest  huddles have been:

    1)Sustained Fusion  as reactors  have a habbit of burning  out due to the high temperatures.

    2) being engery  positive  as currently  even when we do sustain  the fusion it takes more  energy  than it releases. 

     

    With a engine problems  1 ans 2 are reduced as:

    1) A fusion  engine  doesnt have to be on continually. It can pulse in bursts  of seconds reducing  the temperature  strain. 

    2) As a engine  it does not have to be engery  positive.

    Why does anyone even have the faintest thought that anything else can travel between stars?

    Please look at this page, and scroll through it by hand to understand the size of the distances between the main objects in our very own solar system. Then think about how far away other stars may be.

    That’s assuming other life forms have the same or similar life spans to us.

     

     

     

    For all we know extra-terrestrial life could live hundreds or even thousands of years?

     

     

     

    Hell in a hundred years with advances in medicine, genetical engineering and gene therapy we could be living hundreds of years.

     

     

     

    If you live a thousand years what’s a hundred year journey?

     

    Hell even a unmanned probe could make a interstellar journey. We are likely not far off sending ones ourselves to nearby stars.

  5. Rotating habitats don't help either as they have weird Coriolis forces when rotating, so don't be suprised when you hand sways around randomly while you lift it.

    Swaying hands are the last ting you need when plating.

    Call be old fashioned and a kill joy but I think I prefer my Lab down here on earth :sticktongue:


    • [
    • Biological research (without fear of dooming earth when a vicious microbe escapes) for pharmaceutical companies

    O hell no!

    I have enough trouble dealing with Cat 3 Organisms on earth with Gravity! Dealing with Cat 3 or worse cat 4's floating about in Zero G is the stuff of Microbiologist nightmares. Just keeping things aseptic would be a pain. I like my lab and workstation stationary and stable. The though of scalpels and needles floating about too gives me shivers.....

  6. When it comes to DPRK I think it's fair to say that everyone in this thread is speaking from positions of relative ignorance, given how little information actually makes its way out of the country.

    As an outsider looking in, things like the satellite maps at night sure look to me like a country that is not-entirely in the 21st century, but I'm open to the possibility I'm dead wrong.

    Pretty accurate.

    We don't have a clue really whats right or whats propaganda.

  7. It truly amazes me that people can criticise the DPRK for propoganda, and then turn around and produce the kind of stuff we're getting in this thread.

    And im amazed at how some people cant take a simple joke.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And I criticise you for having no idea what you're talking about. Trade links with China are strong and getting stronger, there's considerable investment coming out of the Russian far east, and most of the 'black market' activity is semi-official and tolerated. I'll admit some of this stuff can be pretty unclear from the gutter press most people bother reading, but for ....'s sake they put up a satellite three years ago and everybody and their uncle ran a paranoid story about it.

    Maybe that because no one trusts a insane dictatorship that threatens war every other day with space based platforms?

  8. These are the docking port files what do I need to change? I tried following the intsructions here http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/35777-Can-t-Undock-Bug-How-To-Fix but the values seem different.

  9. I am just wondering where are rich people who have a fire to support spaceflights? I mean if someone have let's say billion dollars, what that man can do? Launch own satellite to orbit, maybe to the moon or further. Or buy own spacex crew capsule? Or support Skylon project?

    Will someone spend hundreds of millions dollars to something like that? If I had a billion dollars I would. Would you?

    Thats why you don't have a billion dollars :wink:

    People dont get rich spending money on every hairbrained scheme that comes along.
