Joining in the chorus, it's a well-known scam. -

Plasma effects during rocket launches
QuesoExplosivo replied to Streetwind's topic in Science & Spaceflight
This: http://www.astronautix.com/s/sprintabm.html "Phased-array radars and high-speed computer processing allowed the warhead to be tracked, steering commands for the Sprint to be calculated, and uplinked to the missile via a radio connection of the frequency and power to be received through the ionized missile exhaust and plasma sheath surrounding the missile." -
Why would anyone use sodium metabisulfite as a rocket fuel? It seems like a really bad choice to me.

I looked up the MSDS on hydrazine...
QuesoExplosivo replied to EnderKid2's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Once you've worked with diazomethane (or even TMS-diazomethane), hydrazine seems tame. -
A new flat (2mm) lens that can magnify light
QuesoExplosivo replied to PB666's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I wonder what the chromatic aberration is like on a lens such as this. -
I also get the "incompatible" error, using version 1.1.2.1260. Could you check it?

What would a Kerbal civ look like in Stellaris?

I need to get this mod! -
Escape Velocity: The Hypersonic Race
QuesoExplosivo replied to AdmiralTigerclaw's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Why even bother with lift? Couldn't you just angle your ship downwards and let engine thrust push you towards Kerbin? This way, you could fly high enough to not need to worry about heating (until landing, of course). Or is using "reverse lift" required for the challenge? If it is, how will that be enforced? -
My guess is that: -They would be materialist pacifist xenophiles. -They would use the warp drive FTL method, which is actually a stabilized variant of the Kraken drive. -Their government type would certainly be "Science Directorate." -They would have the "Natural Engineers" trait, but I'm not sure what others.

Late Heavy Bombardment.

Likewise, landing legs on that lander might be advisable (though I understand the need to keep part count low).

Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8qdyho5vhmozq0/KSS.sfs?dl=0 I also added the remaining fuel and oxidizer that wasn't needed for the deorbit burn (about 500 units). I've tested the heat shield module with up to 40 tons, and as long as the vessel behind it has enough control authority to keep it pointing forwards, it can handle a reasonable Jool aerocapture. It doesn't have any propulsion (including RCS) and can't generate electricity (although it can store 4000), so make sure you're on the right trajectory for the descent probe to descend into the atmosphere when you undock it. I suggest doing this at your apoapsis after aerocapture/braking.

I need to go to sleep now, so if KAL9000 gets done, then someone else can go, as long as they get done before 1300 UTC tomorrow.

KAL 9000 claimed the save file, and his mission is in progress. When he's done, he'll post the save file, and I'll add my module. Then I'll post the file and you can have a turn.

KAL 9000 has the file, and I'm next after he's done. (Read the last few posts.)

Oops, didn't see. As long as there's an open Docking Port Sr., I should be fine. KAL 9000 can go first.

I have the save, and I'm adding an aerocapture module for the Jool ship. After aerocapture is done, it can detach and be an atmospheric descent probe. Total parts 8 + 1 docking port Sr.

Electrolyte for electrolysis of water
QuesoExplosivo replied to livefree75's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Hydrochloric acid is pretty tame as far as acids go. I've occasionally spilled some 12 M HCl on my skin; as long as it's washed off within a few seconds, it's fine. Getting it in your eyes, or breathing the fumes, are the real problems. Many other acids (hydrofluoric, trifluoroacetic, concentrated nitric or sulfuric, etc.) will cause burns pretty much instantaneously.
