Which is the real KSP water?

[worir4]

I think the ocean is water and the swimming pool is actually just some rocket fuel dumped in there.

I think the ocean is classified as liquid explodium and not water xD. The pool has cool water, but you can't float in it. I'd basically up the drag and float values and than replace the entire ocean with it.

At least no one said its toilet bowl water...

I have noticed that the higher up you are, looks totally different the lower you are. I prefer the lower water.

What I hate, really, is the fact that there is a Mun.... but no tides or waves on the ocean. To be realistic, for a space game, you need the waves....

Have you really made this thread just because of this post? I think it was a joke.

Yes I did. If you notice that is my thread

Where did you find the toilet in KSC? Is it a unique biome for science experiments?

You have to destroy the living of your Kerbonauts while they are all still inside. I don't think it is.

I want floaty pool water, to contribute to this thread.

KSP has no water. There is neither hydrogen nor oxygen in the KSP universe (due to radically different nuclear forces), so water as we know it cannot exist.

Kerbin as a whole is several times denser than osmium, the densest stable element in our universe, and is WAY denser than Earth despite being 1/10 the size. Therefor, the elements and compounds that are liquids at ambient Kerbin surface conditions should be quite dense as well. Iron I-beams would certainly float in Kerbin's orceans--that's totally realistic there. This happens in the oceans but not the pool at KSC. Therefore, the oceans are the most realistic.

The pool should have better water

I, somehow, doubt that much thought was put into it when Squad decided the solar system would be scaled to 1/10th.

Both are fake. The only real water is on Laythe.

Wait wait wait... what if the Pool has the REAL water - a true H20, an exquisite exotic substance only rarely found on Kerbin - KSC filling a pool with it is a show of prestige and wealth, something akin to having door handles made of gold. And since everything, including kerbals is built from the super-dense matter, with standard Earth density the pool water acts pretty much like a thick gas on anything immersed in it - everything is vastly more dense and so the water resistance is nearly zilch - everything sinks right to the bottom as if there was nothing there.

That science seems sound, Sharpy... a kerbal would never fill stuff into a pool that could not go boom... Its a basin filled with a strange outer world substance...

Water is an illusion. It's just blue grass that acts like sinking sand when anything is placed on it.
