The "You know you're playing a lot of KSP when..." thread

[ThePyrateCaptain]

When you wonder why the space agencies haven't started use mods yet.

ROTFLMAO, yep that's a keeper!

[Rjhere]

I to have been insanely obsessed with KSP the last half-year, and for that i thank Squad. When i was young, i used to gaze at the starlit heaven and think about everything. By then i had decided i wanted to become a rocket scientist or an astronaut.

In the beginning of elementary, i showed great potential. Getting full scores in math, i was quite the nerd. There's a reason why my elementary school had to borrow fact books from my middle-school just to please my reading. Eventually they crushed me down and forced me to read normal books like the other kids. Also not getting the help i needed when things got more advanced, pulled me down as it downright demotivated me from everything that was math. I never failed any tests, but my interest were crushed.

Because of that i never reached my full potential during middle-school and i struggeled with simple math. I never failed any courses, but i weren't good either. My interest rose once more when in high-school I had a surprise math test. I was shocked when i got my results. I got a very high grade effortless, and i began studying, but it was to late. I had chosen a different path, not a bad one, but something quite different.

Right now im in my second year in electric studies to become an electrician, but since i found KSP, it has brought me back to when i was young, but only now i understand! I constantly go on the internet to seek new knowledge about everything about space, like formulas to calculate specific impulse and stuff. Not a day goes by without me thinking of space.

THANK YOU SQUAD, YOU REALLY CHANGED MY LIFE!

When you are only 14, and seriously worry that the last thing you will say on your deathbed is "I wish I hadn't wasted my whole life playing KSP *sigh*"

Well, it's fun anyhow!

[Specialist290]

When you stop using cruise control on your car because you feel it cheapens the experience of real driving.

[rryy]

When you make a space station and land in the Mun over the course of one in-game day, and wonder why NASA can't make this much progress.

[OceanFire]

When you demand a refund for your movie ticket because "The orbital mechanics weren't realistic."

When you wounder why NASA can't just throw some cacti with googly eyes in a rocket and call it science.

When you make accurate maneuvers on your Mun mission and make fun of NASA for missing there target on the landing.

[firerider521]

When you keep thinking that Jupiter is green, and you are unfamiliar with a certain tan gas giant.

[Agent30632]

When you post on this thread

Also, when you end up teaching your kids about "Delta-V" and "Specific Impulse" and other stuff like that...

[Kerbal01]

when you can get to the mun and back in less than 1/2 hour

[Flixxbeatz]

You know you're playing too much when you attend a concert and the steel girders where the lights are placed reminds you of Kerbal Space Program everytime you see it.

[The Deep Space Kraken]

When reading an ingredients label I mistook monosodium for monopropelent.

[llamatoes]

I spend my French lessons going through new ideas

[Rage097]

When the only explanation for any aircraft rolling is RCS ports on the wing tips. Cause Planes can't roll without it in space!

When you forget that Atmosphere is a thing. (i've been on the Mün a lot recently)

[deathchicken]

I was watching Star Wars, and agonizing over the fact that it was all wrong.

"why are they using that cockpit, it's much to heavy."

[deathchicken]

Although if their engines were powerful enough they would not need to deal with orbits.

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

When you press "M" to bring up map...

In real life....

[The Jedi Master]

When you have three rovers and two landers scattered around the Mun.

When you think NASA should use an SSTO to replace the space shuttle.

When you wonder why NASA can't just make a new satellite when the old one breaks.

[Agent30632]

When you think Kepler-62f or Kepler-62e is home to the Kerbals

I thought that today...

[Devo]

When your wife buys a new green colour nail polish, and the first thing you can think is "hey thats kerbal green!"

[zekes]

I realized it when i found i spend 14-16 hours a week on it and only 4 hours a week with friends....

[UltraVires]

You know you play too much KSP when... your waiting in line at the supermarket, and thinking about how your gonna rescue Jeb back from Jool...

[XenonSpark]

When you StumbleUpon "space exploration" to look for inspiration for your next mission.

[goldenpeach]

When you know everything about ksp parts parameter(weight,drag,fuel,thrust etc...),all the rocket equation(total delta-v,delta-v needed for a given orbital operation etc...) at the point you don't even need a computer with ksp to make rocket:you just need a piece of paper and a calculator to make the design and know if it will work.

You just need ksp to use the rocket,you don't need to test it.

[Camelotking524]

When you list Kerbalnaut as your current occupations and list Jedediah Kerman as a reference on a job applications.
