Reverts and quickloads are replaced by the ability to actually rewind time and change your past actions in your space program (without affecting unrelated vessels). These functions are activated from a blue phone box sitting just next to Mission Control.

Got a reminder of what lies on Bop after I'd set a course for a low-inclination orbit Fortunately I have a stupid amount of delta-V, so after my first landing I'll make a 90-degree plane change and look for the anomaly. Also, orbiting Bop gave me a nice bit of perspective failure, it felt like I was within touching distance of an E-class-ish asteroid, not several dozen miles from something the size of Minmus.

You could hold down Ctrl+V until the last stars in the Milky Way flicker out and die, until even the remnant white dwarfs have faded to black, and you still wouldn't even come close. To illustrate: A googolplex is 1010100, which is less than 10101010 So a "power tower" of x googolplexes, what you're doing, is less than a tower of 4x tens. That tower of tens can be written much more concisely as 10↑↑4x. Now consider that if I write 10↑↑↑10, that expands to 10↑↑(10↑↑10). The bit in the brackets in brackets is already bigger than a googolplex, which means 10↑↑↑10 is a tower of well over a googolplex of tens. And remember there's not even a googol, never mind a googolplex, of atoms in the observable universe. Now remember that my h1 on the last page has not three arrows but ten, and that's just the beginning of the hn series.

I suspect it falls into scarcely matters territory, but yes, I did.Now I'll come up with something once I've wrapped my head around your notation.

In the terminal on Ubuntu, run sudo ufw status. If that reports the ubuntu firewall is active, run sudo ufw disable to turn it off.

Sooner or later someone's going to need to blow the up-arrows right out of the water. But for the time being I'll simply turn it up to 11. k1 = 11↑1111 kn = 11↑kn-111 Kn = kk..kn , with kn levels of subscripts . (Note that uppercase K and lowercase k have different meanings) My number KΩ = KK..Kn, with K9999999999 levels.

Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh/Unova/Kalos is best region. -
Squad, who'll fix the bugs he exploits. Eventually. Maybe? Hmmm...

Space Shuttle alikes are always going to be difficult in stock KSP. The main engines need to thrust through the centre of mass, or nearly so, but said centre of mass shifts around, and no engine in KSP can gimbal anything like as much as the real SSME's did to handle that. So you might be better off taking the approach used by Buran, with the main engines under the external tank. I would guess they were off-centre so the thrust would be better aligned with the CoM, though there will still be shift in that to deal with.

Two years is way too long for it just be a test of the vehicle. Testing some sort of propulsion technology (like the infamous em/cannae drive stuff) is an outside bet. It could have been spying on the ground, but the US already has much more capable spy satellites than anything the X37 could handle. So snooping on or even tampering with other satellites is my guess. For example, what if it planted devices on Russian and Chinese spy satellites, allowing the US to sabotage them later on without it even being obviously an attack? Suppose a nation puts its spy sats in a somewhat higher orbit, somewhere they reckon others can't get a satisfactory spy sat into, then deliberately Kesslers the lower orbits. They'd enjoy a huge advantage for a fair time.

Star Trek ripped off Lost In Space -
It's one of the bigger compromises, but for a £450 pre-built PC it's way better for gaming than most systems at that price. And the GPU is the one part you can be near-certain is upgradable.

So 3.5 is not bigger than 3? Even the googolplex walls and the Graham's number abuses are emphatically finite./grumblegrumblegrumble Anyway, assuming alexmagno means the gn function used in definining Graham's number, then I'll beat it with h1 = 10↑1010 hn = 10↑hn-110 This is of course analogous to the gn function, but bigger. My number is h9999999999

I had so much trouble with the Hydra, I never heard Phil telling me to get up on its back. -
Theia. OK the Earth survived, but that's gonna hurt in the morning.

So we're going for overwhelming firepower at the push of a button then? Well, Mr Vader says look up because that's no moon in the sky over you.

I'll wave play on this time round, since it's ten past two and I should probably be going to bed not writing (or solving...) riddles.

An accordion? Edit: Or a guitar?

Yeah...that's just setting off my dirty mind. Edit: Wait, is it a computer keyboard?
